The equations below represent the numbers y of tickets sold after x weeks for two different local music festivals

Assuming you mean y=10x+150 and y=20x+115, you need to use a simultaneous equation, because you have two equations with two unknowns (x and y)

rearrange so
10x-y=-150
20x-y=-115

multiply the top by -1, so that if we add the two lines together, the y will cancel out
-10x+y=150
20x-y=-115

add the two lines together
10x=35
x=3.5

so the time is 3 and a half weeks

then we can sub in x to find y
20x-y=-115
20(3.5)-y=-115
70-y=-115
-y=-185
y=185

so 185 tickets were sold !
you can sub these values into your original equations to check your answer :)

Drag the cards to create a two-digit number that matches these rules. Note: Not all cards will be used 6 is one of the digits 20

Greeley [361]

Answer:

As i understand this:

We have cards with the values:

0, 1, 2 and 6.

We want to create a two digit number such that:

Not all the cards are used.

6 is one digit of our number.

When we round to the nearest ten, we get 20.

Now, first remember how rounding works.

If we have a number like ab, where a and b are single digits (a is in the tens place and b is in the units place), then:

if b is 5 or more, we round up

if b is less than 5, we round down.

Now in this case we want to have a digit equal 6, if we use this in the units place, then when rounding, we will round up.

Then the other digit can be 1, such that we use the cards:

1 and 6.

then our number is 16:

When rounding, 6 > 5, then we round up to 20.

So this number meets all the conditions.

If one labour works 200 hours per month, the amount of hot water heaters the labour can produce is = 200 × 0.25 = 50 hot water heaters

The demand is to produce 57600 hot water heaters

The number of labourers employed is 57600 ÷ 50 = 1152 labourers

Announcements for 84 upcoming engineering conferences were randomly picked from a stack of IEEE Spectrum magazines. The mean len

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You need to construct a 95% CI for the population mean of the length of engineering conferences.

The variable has a normal distribution.

The information given is:

n= 84

x[bar]= 3.94

δ= 1.28

The formula for the Confidence interval is:

x[bar]± $Z_{1-\alpha/2}$ *(δ/n)

Lower bound(Lb): 3.698

Upper bound(Ub): 4.182

Error bound: (Ub - Lb)/2 = (4.182-3.698)/2 = 0.242

I hope it helps!

AC CE and D is the midpoint of CE. IF CE 10x + 18, DE =7x -1, and BC = 9x - 2, find AB, AB =

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<h3> If you mean: AC=CE, the answer is: AB = 24</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

D is the midpoint of CE, then

CD = DE = 0.5CE = 0.5(10x+18) = 5x + 9

So: 5x + 9 = 7x - 1

-9 -9

5x = 7x - 8

-7x -7x

-2x = -8

÷(-2) ÷(-2)

x = 4

AC = CE = 10x + 18 = 40 + 18 = 58

BC = 9x - 2 = 36 - 2= 34

AB = AC - BC = 58 - 34 = 24
