Niona needs $50 to go on a school trip. She sells necklaces for $15 each and bracelets for $5 each. If she raises the money by selling half as many necklaces as bracelets, how many necklaces and bracelets does she sell? Write a system of linear equations that represent this problem.

Answers

Answer 1
since the $50 fact is unnecessary, it will be 15 minus 5 divided by 2. Your welcome, and I hope it helps!! 
Answer 2
Final answer:

To solve the problem, create a system of linear equations representing the sale of necklaces and bracelets. The two equations will be 15n + 5b = 50 and n = 0.5b, which describe the total funds raised and the relationship between the number of necklaces and bracelets sold.

Explanation:

Niona is trying to raise $50 for her school trip by selling necklaces and bracelets. We need to establish a system of linear equations to represent the problem. Let's define n as the number of necklaces and b as the number of bracelets. According to the problem, Niona sells necklaces for $15 each and bracelets for $5 each, and she sells half as many necklaces as bracelets.

Therefore, we can write the first equation based on the total amount of money raised:

15n + 5b = 50

And the second equation based on the relationship between the number of necklaces and bracelets:

n = 0.5b

Solving this system will give us the number of necklaces and bracelets Niona needs to sell to raise $50 for her trip.

This is the new equation needed to solve for m.
first we must isolate "m".

30m + 50 = 20m + 100
        - 50             - 50

30m = 20m + 50
-20m   -20m

10m = 50

Jerome bought a book on sale at the store. The sale price of the book was $8.96. Write and solve an equation to determine the regular price of the book to the nearest cent

Answers

Final answer:

The regular price of the book is $8.96.

Explanation:

To determine the regular price of the book, we can set up an equation using the sale price and the regular price. Let's say the regular price is 'x'.

So the equation becomes:

8.96 = x

To solve for 'x', we can simply state that the regular price of the book is $8.96.

which of the following functions is continuous between x=-3 and x=0? choices on attachment

Answers

When we say that a function is continuous between x = -3 and x = 0 it means that it exists for all values of x in between -3 and 0. Let's take a look at each choice individually:

A: f(x) = (-x + 1)/(x + 2)
Now we don't actually need to know what the graph of this function looks like to see which values it is continuous for, instead we should look at which values of x will make this function undefined - in this case that would be x = -2. The reasoning behind this is that a number divided by 0 would be undefined, so when we search for which value of x would make the denominator of the equation 0, we get:
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Since x = -2 is within the interval [-3, 0] we cannot say the function is continuous over this interval

B: f(x) = -2/(x + 1)
Using the same method as above we get:
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
x = -1 is again within the interval [-3, 0] and so the function is not continuous within this interval

C: f(x) = 3x/(x - 2)
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x = 2 is outside the interval of [-3, 0] and so the function is continuous within this interval and C is the correct answer.

Just for the sake of it however we can look at D as well:
D: f(x) = 1/(2x + 1)
2x + 1 = 0
x = -1/2
-1/2 is within [-3, 0] and so D is not continuous over this interval

A sample of 81 was taken from a population with a standard deviation of 45 kilograms. If the sample mean was 112 kilograms, the mean of any other sample of 81 will be within what range 99.7% of the time?

A. 97 kilograms to 127 kilograms
B. 102 kilograms to 122 kilograms
C. 92 kilograms to 132 kilograms
D. 107 kilograms to 117 kilograms

Answers

Sample size = n = 81
Population Standard Deviation = s = 45
Sample Mean = x = 112

Since, population standard deviation is known, we will use z distribution to find the confidence interval.

The critical z value for 99.7% is 2.968

So, the confidence interval will be:

[tex](112-2.968* \frac{45}{ \sqrt{81} }, 112-2.968* \frac{45}{ \sqrt{81} }) \\ \\ (97.16, 126.84)[/tex]

Rounding of to nearest integers the confidence interval will be 97 to 127.

A diner has a breakfast special. A customer can chose scrambled, fried, or poached eggs. The breakfast comes with a side of bacon, sausage, or fruit salad. The customer can choose coffee, tea, or milk. How many different combinations of eggs, side, and drink does a customer have to choose from?

Solution:

Number of ways the customer can choose eggs=3

Number of ways the customer can choose side=3

Number of ways the customer can choose drinks=3

So, total number of combinations for choosing eggs and side and drinks

=3(for eggs) and 3(for sides) and 3(for drinks)

=3 * 3 *3

=27

A customer has 27 combinations of eggs, side, and drink available.

The owner of a bookstore predicts that 30% of the books she sells each week are self-help books. To test this prediction, the owner randomly selects 150 books out of the total number of books sold for a week and records the type of each book. The table shows the results of samples taken for 2 separate weeks. Sample Fiction History Cooking Self-help Total week 1 50 29 37 34 150 week 2 55 31 34 30 150 Based on these samples, is the owner's prediction correct? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly answer the question. The owner's prediction is . Based on the samples, about of the books sold each week are self-help books.

Answers

The owner's prediction is incorrect.  About 23% of the books sold are self-help books.

34 out of the 150 sold in week 1 were self-help books.
34 out of the 150 sold in week 2 were self-help books.

This gives us 68 self-help books out of 300 books sold.

68/300 = 0.2267 ≈ 0.23 = 23%

Based on the samples, the owner's prediction of 30% is not correct; approximately 21.34% of the books sold each week are self-help books.

The bookstore owner predicts that 30% of the week's book sales are self-help books. To evaluate this prediction, we need to look at the number of self-help books sold in the samples provided for two separate weeks. In week 1, 34 out of 150 books sold were self-help books, which is 22.67%. In week 2, 30 out of 150 books sold were self-help books, which is 20%. To determine the average percentage of self-help books sold over the two weeks, we average these two percentages: (22.67% + 20%) / 2, which gives us 21.34%.

Add 13 to both sides.

10x = 193
Divide both sides by 10.

x = 19.3

(h ⋅ t)(x) = (5x − 2) (4x + 6)
(h ⋅ t)(x) = 20x^2 + 30x - 8x - 12
(h ⋅ t)(x) = 20x^2 + 22x - 12



Part C: Find h[t(x)]. Show your work. 
h(x) = 5x − 2 and t(x) = 4x + 6

A college entry exam has 38 questions worth 200 points. The test consists of multiple-choice questions, x, worth 4 points each and essay questions, y, worth 10 points each. Which system of equations can be solved to find the number of multiple-choice questions on the test?

Answers

A system of equations is a set of equations to be solved by elimination or substitution.

There are no options listed in the question to choose from, but the equations should look like the following:

x= # multiple choice questions
y= # essay questions

QUANTITY EQUATION:
x + y= 38

VALUE EQUATION:
4x + 10y= 200

If we solved these two equations by elimination or substitution, we would find the number of multiple choice (x) and the number of essay (y) questions on the test.


ANSWER: x + y= 38; 4x + 10y= 200

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Let's use the variables x and y to represent the number of multiple-choice and essay questions on the test, respectively.

The total number of questions is 38, so we can write:

x + y = 38

The total number of points is 200, so we can write:

4x + 10y = 200

This gives us a system of equations:

x + y = 38

4x + 10y = 200

We can solve this system of equations to find the number of multiple-choice questions on the test.

Differences between x-values are 1. Differences between y-values are 2. The y-values are changing 2 times as fast as the x-values, so you are looking for an answer that involves 2x. The appropriate choice is
   D. 2x + 3

_____
You can check this result:
   for x=1: 2·1 + 3 = 5
   for x=4: 2·4 + 3 = 11
These values correspond to those in the table.
Let's just list the coordinats first.
(1,5)
(2,7)
(3,9)
(4,11)

When you see 3 and 9, you sometimes immediately think it is 3x=y, but you have to look at the other coordinates as well. This can be show in option a, 5x=y. This can not be the anser because 3×5=15≠9. We can eliminate that answer. Option B says that you are adding 2, but when you add 2 to 4, it equals 6 and not 11. The same for C, 4 added to 4 equals 8, not 11.

The one left, D, is the answer. When you put each x value in, you do get the corresponding y value as well. To even make sure, I made a graph with 2x+3=y as the function to see if those values/coordinates would pop up.
