Answer: X < 10
Hope this helps!

Answer:

x<10

Step-by-step explanation:

On the number line it shows that the dot is at 10.  Since the dot is not colored in, we know it's not greater/less than or equal to.  Greater/less than or equal to is where it shows the symbol, but it's underlined, like this: ≤.  Only when the dot is colored in, is there a possibility it is greater/less than or equal to.  So it can be greater than or less than something.  Since it starts at 10 and is decreasing, it is going to be less than.

X will be less than something.  And because the dot is at 10, it means 10 was the start.  X is less than 10 since the arrow is pointing to where the numbers are decreasing.  So, x<10.

Answers

Answer:

21 windows

Step-by-step explanation:

colleen's family plans to paint the windows of their house. her father will paint twice as many windows as her mother, and Colleen and her 2 brothers will paint an equal number of the rest of the windows. Colleen decided to do her own share and her mother's share and paints 7 window, which is one less than her father's share. how many windows are in their house?

Answer: Let the number of window Colleen father would paint be x while that of her mother be y. Since her father will paint twice as many window as her mother, therefore the number of windows painted by the father x = 2y

Let the number of windows each painted by Colleen and her 2 brothers be z since they would paint the same number of windows. The total number of windows to be painted = 2y + y + z + z + z = 3y + 3z = 3(y + z).

Then number of windows needed to be painted by Colleen and her mother is given as z + y. Since Colleen painted 7 windows as her share and her mother share i.e. y + z = 7

Therefore the total number of windows = 3(y + z) = 3(7) = 21 windows

When p2 – 4p is subtracted from p2 + p – 6, the result is: -3p-6, 5p-6 or 4p+6. To get p – 9, subtract: 4p+3, 4p-15 or 4p+12 from this result.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

p² - 4p is subtracted from p² + p - 6 is written as

p² + p - 6 - (p² - 4p)

Remove the bracket and simplify

That's

p² + p - 6 - p² + 4p

p² - p² + 4p + p - 6

We have the answer as

5p - 6

Let the unknown expression be x

Subtract x from the expression to get p - 9

That's

5p - 6 - x = p - 9

x = 5p - p - 6 + 9

x = 4p + 3

A study of long-distance phone calls made from General Electric Corporate Headquarters in Fairfield, Connecticut, revealed the length of the calls, in minutes, follows the normal probability distribution. The mean length of time per call was 3.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.70 minutes. What is the probability that calls last between 3.5 and 4.0 minutes? (Round your z value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

0.2611

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Normal distribution:

Mean (m) length of time per call = 3.5 minutes

Standard deviation (sd) = 0.7 minutes

Probability that length of calls last between 3.5 and 4.0 minutes :

P(3.5 < x < 4):

Find z- score of 3.5:

z = (x - m) / sd

x = 3.5

z = (3.5 - 3.5) / 0.7 = 0

x = 4

z = (4.0 - 3.5) / 0.7 = 0.5 / 0.7 = 0.71

P(3.5 < x < 4) = P( 0 < z < 0.714)

From the z - distribution table :

0 = 0.500

0.71 = very close to 0.7611

(0.7611 - 0.5000) = 0.2611

P(3.5 < x < 4) = P( 0 < z < 0.714) = 0.2611

There are three different hoses used to fill a pool: hose x, hose y, and hose z. Hose x can fill the pool in a days, hose y in b days, and hose z in c days, where a > b > c. When all three hoses are used together to fill a pool, it takes d days to fill the pool. Which of the following must be true? I. db III. c3

Answers

Complete question is;

There are three different hoses used to fill a pool: hose x, hose y, and hose z. Hose x can fill the pool in a days, hose y in b days, and hose z in c days, where a > b > c. When all three hoses are used together to fill a pool, it takes d days to fill the pool. Which of the following must be true?

I. d < c

II. d > b

III. c/3 < d <a/3

A) I only

B) III only

C) I and III only

D) II only

E) I, II and III

Answer:

The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the 3 hoses combined together will fill the pool faster than the time for the hoses to accomplish it individually. Therefore, the time "d" will be lesser than any of the individual times used by each hose.

Hence, statement I is true and II is false.

Now, we know that if each of the three hoses took c days to complete the job, then together they would take c/3 days. However, in reality, two of the three hoses even took more than c days. So, in a nutshell together they would take more than "c/3" days, and therefore d > c/3.

Likewise, if each of the three hoses took "a" days to finish the job, then when combined together, they would take "a/3" days. Now, two of the three hoses used fewer than "a" days and so when combined together they would take less than "a/3" days and therefore d < a/3.

If we combine the last 2 paragraphs, we will arrive at c/3 < d < a/3 and that is same as statement III.

Thus, statement I and III are true. The correct option is C

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First right out all the data in numerical order from left to right.

2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7

The median is the middle number in the set.  If there is an even amount of data points, find the average of the two middle numbers.  If there is an odd number of data points, like in this data set, just take the middle number as you median.

There are 7 data points in this set so the fourth number in the set written in numerical order would be your median.

When writing this set out in numerical order, repeated numbers must be repeated, we find that the fourth, or middle, number is 3.  Therefore, 3 is the median of this data set.

Answer: 1.18 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

E = Euros

D = US dollars

If the equation showing the relationship between Euros and Dollar

is E = 17/20D

To find the equivalent amount of dollars for 1 euros, substitute E for 1 in the formula and make D the subject of formula

1 = 17/20 D

Cross multiply

17D = 20

D = 20/17

D = 1.18 dollars approximately

Therefore, 1.18 dollars have the same value as 1 euro.

Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50 a plus 3.75 b equals 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold? ___adult tickets

Answers

Answer: The number of the adult tickets is 168

Step-by-step explanation: * Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The adults ticket costs $10.50

- The students ticket costs $3.75

- The total money of the opening night is $2071.50

- The equation of the total money earned in the opening night is:

10.50 a + 3.75 b = 2071.50, where a is the number of the adult ticket

 and b is the number of the student ticket

- There were 82 students attended

* Lets solve the problem

∵ 10.50 a + 3.75 b = 2071.50

∵ The number of the students attended is 82

∵ b is the number of the students

∴ b = 82

- Substitute the value of b in the equation

∴ 10.50 a + 3.75(82) = 2071.50

∴ 10.50 a + 307.5 = 2071.50

- Subtract 307.5 from both sides

∴ 10.50 a = 1764

- Divide both sides by 10.50

∴ a = 168

∵ a is the number of the adult tickets

∴ The number of the adult tickets is 168

Answers

Answer:

Local Maximum Approx.: (1,8.08)

Local Minima Approx.: (-2,-7.67) and (3,2.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

Local maximums and minima there the highest and lowest points, respectively, on a graph in a specific region. (This is different from absolute maximum and minimum, which are the highest and lowest points overall.)

These are pretty clear to see on a curve, as they are the "turns" or the points where the curve switches direction from up to down or down to up.

On your graph, we have two local minima and one local maximum. The local minima are at x= -2 and x=3. The local maximum is at x=8. Because of the way the graph is, we have to approximate the y-values of each point.
