Dymin had a lot of boxes ready for moving. She went out and
bought seven more boxes. A week later her little brother
destroyed half of them. There are now only 22 boxes left.
How many did she start with?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

37 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, Dymin had some boxes. Let x be the starting number of boxes.

Then, she bought 7 more boxes. Let y be the new number of boxes that she had.

y = x + 7

Next, her little brother destroyed half of them. It means half of y. So, the number of boxes left is

Number of boxes = y/2

The number of the boxes left is 22 boxes. Then, we can use the equation above.

Number of boxes = 22

y/2 = 22

Substitute y = x + 7 into the equation.

(x + 7)/2 = 22

x + 7 = 44

x = 44 - 7

x = 37

Thus, Dymin has 37 boxes at first.

The following are the ages (years) of 5 people in a room: 23, 15, 17,23, 23 A person enters the room. The mean age of the 6 people is now 19. What is the age of the person who entered the room?

Answers

13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

17 + 15 + 23 + 23 + 23 =101 / 5 = 20.2

Mean before was 20.2

In order for the mean to be 19, all those numbers would have to add up 114 to be divided by 6 and have a mean of 19

114 / 6 = 19

114-101 = 13 is that number

17 + 15 + 23 + 23 + 23 + 13 = 114 / 6 = 19

Simplify C^5 x c
Plz can someone figure it out cuz I don’t get it

Answers

Answer:

c^6

Step-by-step explanation:

So, c is the same as c^ 1 ... therefore

c^5 x c

= c^5 x c^1

When we multiply two numbers with same base and different exponent, we add the exponents which in this case as 5 and 1

So c^5 x c^1

= c^(5+1)

= c^6

This is the simplest form

Answer: c⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

Notes: A variable without a given exponent has an "invisible" exponent of 1.

When multiplying two values with the same base, add the exponents.

[tex]\bold{c^5 \times c\qquad \rightarrow \quad c^5 \times c^1\quad =\quad c^{5+1}\quad = \large\boxed{c^6}}[/tex]

a linear function has the same y-intercept as x + 4y= 8 and its graph contains the point (6,3). what is the y intercept?​

Answers

Answer:

The y-intercept b = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line has equation  x + 4y = 8  or y = (-1/4)x + 2

=> The slope of this line is -1/4

Another line y = ax + b has the slope a = -1/4 and passes (6, 3)

=> 3 = (-1/4)*6 + b

=> 3 = -3/2 + b

=> b = 9/2

=> The y-intercept b = 9/2

Answer: y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept form of an equation is:  y = mx + b   where

m = slopeb = y-intercept

x + 4y = 8

     4y = -x + 8

       [tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{8}{4}[/tex]

       [tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+2[/tex]

The y-intercept (b) = 2

I am not sure why you gave a point that goes through the y-intercept because it does not relate to the question , however, I have shown below the equation of point (6, 3) that goes through b = 2.

y = mx + b

3 = m(6) + 2

1 = 6m

[tex]\dfrac{1}{6}=m[/tex]

Equation: [tex]y=\dfrac{1}{6}x+2[/tex]

a vegetable garden surrounding path are shaped like a square that together are 10 ft wide. The path is 3 ft wide. Find the total area of the vegetable garden and path. ​

Answers

Answer: Garden = 36 ft², Path = 64 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Path is 3 ft wide ON EACH SIDE of the garden

Garden + 2(Path) = 10 ft   --> Garden = 6 ft wide.

Since the garden is a square, Area = 6² = 36

Garden + 2(Path) = 10 ft

Since the Garden + Path form a square, Area = 10² = 100

Area of Garden + Area of Path = Total Area

         36             + Area of Path =      100

                              Area of Path =      64

(Round to the nearest minute as needed)

A linear model

reasonable for this situation

Answers

Answer:

(A) The independent variable is time (t) in minutes, and the dependent variable is rental cost (), in dollars. The linear function that models this situation is

R(t) = 30t +8

The time that can be rented for $26 = 1min

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given:

Setup charge on Rent at local copy center = $9

an additional $150 for every 5 minutes. To determine the time that can be rented for $26, let's find the relationship between the rental cost and the time.

For every 5min = $150

For 1 min = $150/5

For t min = 150t/5

Where t = number of minutes of rental time

Rental cost = set up charge + additional cost

Let Rental cost = R(t)

R(t) = 9 + 150t/5

Writing it in form of a linear equation: y = mx + c

R(t) = 150t/5 +9

R(t) = (150/5) ×t + 9

R(t) = 30t + 9

The independent variable is time (t) in minutes, and the dependent variable is rental cost (), in dollars. The linear function that models this situation is

R(t) = 30t + 9

The time that can be rented for $26:

Rental cost = $26

R(t) = 30t +9

26 = 30t +9

26-9 = 30t

17 = 30t

t = 17/30 = 0.57

t is approximately = 1min (nearest minute)

The time that can be rented for $26 = 1min

Helppp pleaseeeee The object below is made of solid plastic. It is a cylinder with an indentation at the top in the shape of a cone.What is the volume, to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch, of the plastic object? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Total volume = (145/3)π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the volume of the entire cylinder.  The correct formula to use here is:

V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.  Here, with the radius being 5/2 inches and the height being 8 inches, the cylinder volume is

V = π(2.5 in)²(8 in) = 50π in³

Next find the volume of the conical shape:  V = (1/3)π(2.5 in)²(0.8 in)

The desired volume is equal to the volume of the entire cylinder LESS the volume of the cone:

π(2.5 in)²(8 in) = 50π in³  LESS  (1/3)π(2.5 in)²(0.8 in), which simplifies as follows:

Total volume =

50 π in³ -  (1/3)π(2.5 in)²(0.8 in), or

(2.5 in)²π[8 in - 0.8/3 in] =  π(6.25 in²)(8 in - 8/30 in) = π( 6.25 in²)(116/15 in), or

Total volume = (145/3)π in³

According to survey records, 75.4% of women aged 20-24 have never been married. In a random sample of 25 young women aged 20-24, find the mean, variance and standard deviation for the number who are or who have been married.

Answers

Answer:

mean = 6.15

variance = 4.637

standard deviation = 2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 75.4% of women aged 20-24 have never been married.

We are interested in finding the mean, variance and standard deviation for the number who are or who have been married.

So the percentile of women who have been married is given by

[tex]p = 1 - 0.754 \\\\ p = 0.246 \\\\q = 1 - p \\\\q = 1 - 0.246 \\\\q = 0.754[/tex]

The mean is given by

[tex]mean = n\times p[/tex]

Where n is the sample size

[tex]mean = 25\times 0.246 \\\\mean = 6.15[/tex]

Therefore, the mean is 6.15

The variance is given by

[tex]variance = n \times p \times q \\\\variance = 25 \times 0.246 \times 0.754 \\\\variance = 4.637[/tex]

Therefore, the variance is 4.637

The standard deviation is given by

[tex]standard \: deviation = \sqrt{variance} \\\\standard \: deviation = \sqrt{4.637} \\\\standard \: deviation = 2.15[/tex]

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.15

Suppose the manager of a restaurant in a commercial building has determined that the proportion of customers who drink tea is 24%. Based on a random sample of 300 customers, what is the standard error for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of tea drinkers?

Answers

Answer:

0.427

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard error for the sampling distribution refers to the standard deviation of the samples taken from a population. The standard error equals the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size

The probability of customers who drink tea (p) = 24% = 0.24, the sample size of customers (n) = 300.

Standard error = [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] where σ is the standard deviation.

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Standard error = [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }= \frac{\sqrt{np(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{np(1-p)}{n} } =\sqrt{p(1-p)}=\sqrt{0.24(1-0.24)} =0.427[/tex]
