Answer:
D. [tex]x-\frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]y = \frac{2}{5}x - 5[/tex]
Required
Determine its equivalent
From the list of given options, the correct answer is
[tex]x - \frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
This is shown as follows;
[tex]y = \frac{2}{5}x - 5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{2} * y = \frac{5}{2} * (\frac{2}{5}x - 5)[/tex]
Open Bracket
[tex]\frac{5}{2} * y = \frac{5}{2} * \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{2} *5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{2}y = x - \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Subtract x from both sides
[tex]\frac{5}{2}y - x = x -x - \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{2}y - x = - \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -1
[tex]-1 * \frac{5}{2}y - x * -1 = - \frac{25}{2} * -1[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{5}{2}y + x = \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Reorder
[tex]x-\frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is D
[tex]x-\frac{5}{2}y = \frac{25}{2}[/tex]

A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n, it can sell and the price, p, it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $30, while 3,000 shirts can be sold at a price of $10. Find a linear equation in the form p(n)=mn+b that gives the price p they can charge for n shirts.
Answer:
p(n) = -1/100 n 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the two points (n, p): (1000, 30) and (3000, 10).
Now we find the equation of the line that passes through these two points.
m = (10 - 30)/(3000 - 1000)
m = -20/2000
m = -1/100
p(n) = mn + b
30 = -1/100 * 1000 + b
30 = -10 + b
b = 40
The equation is:
p(n) = -1/100 n 40
what number has 7 ten thousands, 1 thousand, 1 hundred, and no ones?
Answer:
[tex]71,100[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are trying to find a number that is written in word form, we can just use place values to find what goes where.
A number is broken down into this:
Ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones.
If they have 7 ten thousands, the first digit will be a 7.
If they have 1 thousand, the second digit will be a 1.
If they have 1 hundred, the third digit will be a 1.
Since nothing is stated about tens, we assume it's value is 0.
And since there are no ones, it's value is 0.
So:
71,100.

The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely as the pressure on the gas. If a gas has a volume of 356 cubic inches under a pressure of 6 pounds per square inch, what will be its volume if the pressure is increased to 7 pounds per square inch? Round your answer to the nearest integer if necessary.
Answer:
[tex]V_2=305.14\ \text{inch}^3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely as the pressure on the gas.
[tex]V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\V_1P_1=V_2P_2[/tex]
If V₁ = 356 inch³, P₁ = 6 pounds/in², P₂ = 7 pounds/in², V₂ = ?
So, using the above relation.
So,
[tex]V_2=\dfrac{V_1P_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{356\times 6}{7}\\\\V_2=305.14\ \text{inch}^3[/tex]
So, the new volume is [tex]305.14\ \text{inch}^3[/tex].

There are 2229 students in a school district. Among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level. Based on this sample, estimate the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level.
a. 804
b. 844
c. 884
d. 0.36
Answer:
A. 804Step-by-step explanation:
Given the total number of students in the school to be 2229 students. If among a sample of 452 students from this school district, 163 have mathematics scores below grade level, then we can determine the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample scores using ratio.
Let the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level be x. The ratio of the students with math score below grade level to total population will be x:2229
Also, the ratio of the sample students with math score below grade level to sample population will be 163:452
On equating both ratios, we will have;
x:2229 = 163:452
[tex]\dfrac{x}{2229} = \dfrac{163}{452}\\ \\cross\ multiplying;\\\\\\452*x = 2229*163\\\\x = \dfrac{2229*163}{452}\\ \\x = \frac{363,327}{452}\\ \\x = 803.8\\\\x \approx 804[/tex]
Hence the estimate of the number of students in this school district with mathematics scores below grade level based on the sample is 804

Find the missing side or angle.
Round to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
b=2.7
Step-by-step explanation:
using sine rule,,,
Step-by-step explanation:
So for this problem, we need the missing angle A. From there, we can use the law of sines to compute length of b.
So the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180. With that in mind, we can make an equation to fine the measure of angle A.
53 + 80 + A = 180
133 + A = 180
A = 47
Now that we have the angle of A, we can use the law of sines to fine the length of b.
b / sin(B) = a / sin(A)
b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)
b = sin(80) * 2 / sin(47)
b = 2.693
Now round that to the nearest tenth to get
b = 2.7

Given below are descriptions of two lines. Line 1: Goes through (-2,10) and (1,1) Line 2: Goes through (-2,8) and (2,-4)
Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1). If two lines have the same slope, lines are defined as parallel.
m₁ = m₂
2). If the multiplication of the slopes of two lines is (-1), lines will be perpendicular.
m₁ × m₂ = (-1)
Line 1 : It passes through two points (-2, 10) and (1, 1).
Slope of the line 1 = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1+2}{10-1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{9}[/tex]
m₁ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Line 2 : It passes through two points (-2, 8) and (2, -4).
Slope of the line 2 = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{8+4}{-2-2}[/tex]
= [tex]-\frac{12}{4}[/tex]
m₂ = -3
Since, m₁ × m₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times (-3)[/tex]
= (-1)
Therefore, given lines are perpendicular to each other.
Option (2) is the correct option.

A box is filled with 8 blue cards, 6 red cards, and 6 yellow cards. A card is chosen at a random from the box. What is the probability that the card is not red ? Write your answer as a fraction.
Answer:
14/20 or .7 or 70%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Number of cards: 20
Number of Red cards: 6
The leftover cards: 20 -6 = 14
The probability of not getting a red = 14/20

What is the area of a parallelogram if the coordinates of its vertices are (0, -2), (3,2), (8,2), and (5, -2)?
Answer: 20 sq. units .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A(0, -2), B(3,2), C(8,2), and D(5, -2) are the points for the parallelogram.
First we plot these points on coordinate plane, we get parallelogram ABCD.
By comparing the y-coordinate of B and C with A and D , we get
height = 2+2 = 4 units
Also by comparing the x coordinates of A and D, we get base = 5-0= 5 units
Area of parallelogram = Base x height
= 5 x 4 = 20 sq. units
Hence, the area of a parallelogram ABCD is 20 sq. units .
In triangle ABC, ∠ABC=70° and ∠ACB=50°. Points M and N lie on sides AB and AC respectively such that ∠MCB=40° and ∠NBC=50°. Find m∠NMC.
Answer:
∠NMC = 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
The interpretation of the information given in the question can be seen in the attached images below.
In ΔABC;
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠ A + 70° + 50° = 180°
∠ A = 180° - 70° - 50°
∠ A = 180° - 120°
∠ A = 60°
In ΔAMN ; the base angle are equal , let the base angles be x and y
So; x = y (base angle of an equilateral triangle)
Then;
x + x + 60° = 180°
2x + 60° = 180°
2x = 180° - 60°
2x = 120°
x = 120°/2
x = 60°
∴ x = 60° , y = 60°
In ΔBQC
∠a + ∠e + ∠b = 180°
50° + ∠e + 40° = 180°
∠e = 180° - 50° - 40°
∠e = 180° - 90°
∠e = 90°
At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90° (angles at a point)
∠i = 50° - 40° = 10°
In ΔNQC
∠f + ∠i + ∠j = 180°
90° + 10° + ∠j = 180°
∠j = 180° - 90°-10°
∠j = 180° - 100°
∠j = 80°
From line AC , at point N , ∠y + ∠c + ∠j = 180° (sum of angles on a straight line)
60° + ∠c + ∠80° = 180°
∠c = 180° - 60°-80°
∠c = 180° - 140°
∠c = 40°
Recall that :
At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90° (angles at a point)
Then In Δ NMC ;
∠d + ∠h + ∠c = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠d + 90° + 40° = 180°
∠d = 180° - 90° -40°
∠d = 180° - 130°
∠d = 50°
Therefore, ∠NMC = ∠d = 50°

Given
Garden: [tex]x^2+18x+81[/tex]
One Bag: [tex]x^2 - 81[/tex]
Requires
Determine the number of bags to cover the whole garden
This is calculated as thus;
[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+18x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]
Expand the numerator
[tex]Bags = \frac{x^2+9x+9x+81}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]
[tex]Bags = \frac{x(x+9)+9(x+9)}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]
[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{x^2 - 81}[/tex]
Express 81 as 9²
[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{x^2 - 9\²}[/tex]
Evaluate as difference of two squares
[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)(x+9)}{(x - 9)(x+9)}[/tex]
[tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)}{(x - 9)}[/tex]
Hence, the number of bags is [tex]Bags = \frac{(x+9)}{(x - 9)}[/tex]
ASAP Which graph has a correlation coefficient, r, closest to 0.75?
Answer:
C. Graph C
Step-by-step explanation:
In a scatter plot, a positive correlation coefficient suggests that as one variable increases the other increases as well, or as one decreases, the other decreases.
Also, the more clustered the data points are along the line of best fit, the higher the value of the coefficient, whether positive or negative.
Graph C shows a positive correlation because as the variable on the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis also increases. The data points are more clustered along the line if best fit, if we draw one. This suggest a positive correlation coefficient (r) as strong as 0.75.
Graph C has a correlation coefficient, r, that is closer to 0.75.

A certain game involves tossing 3 fair coins, and it pays .14 for 3 heads, .06 for 2 heads, and .01 for 1 head. The expected winnings are?
Answer:
Total expected amount = $0.04375
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate probability of getting heads on every combination of coin tosses
HHH = 1/8 = 3 heads
HHT = 1/8 = 2 heads
HTH = 1/8 = 2 heads
HTT = 1/8 = 1 head
THH = 1/8 = 2 heads
THT = 1/8 = 1 head
TTH = 1/8 = 1 head
TTT = 1/8 = 0 head
So the probability of 3 heads is 1/8 and the amount is (1/8)* 0.14 = $0.0175
Probability of 2 heads is 3/8 and the amount is (3/8) * 0.06 = $0.0225
Probability of 1 head is 3/8 and amount is (3/8) * 0.01 = $0.00375
Total expected amount = 0.00375 + 0.0225 + 0.0175
Total expected amount = $0.04375

In a frequency distribution of 290 scores, the mean is 99 and the median is 86. One would expect this distribution to be:
Answer:
positively skewed to the right
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of the central tendency is a profound way to describe the mean, median and mode. The measure of central tendency indicates where the center of distribution tends to be. The measure of central tendency provide a validity and answers whether the scores are high or generally low.
In this measure,The mean is usually pulled to the tail. The skewed is determined by where the tail goes, to the right side , it is positively skewed and to the left side , it is known as negatively skewed distribution.
Given that:
In a frequency of distribution of 290 scores,
the mean = 99
the median = 86
One would expect this distribution to be; positively skewed to the right since the mean value is greater than the median value.

Mr. Thoro ordered 5 chicken shawarma wraps and 4 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $74.91. What is the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap? What is the cost of one order of spiced potatoes? If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?
Answer:
a) What is the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap?
$10.99
b) What is the cost of one order of spiced potatoes?
$4.99
c) If x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes, what are the equations needed to solve this problem?
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap and y denotes the cost of an order of spiced potatoes,
Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = x
Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = y
Ms. Ironperson ordered 3 chicken shawarma wraps and 2 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $42.95.
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
Mr. Thoro ordered 5 chicken shawarma wraps and 4 orders of spiced potatoes for a total bill of $74.91.
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2
Hence, the Equations needed to solve the question is:
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2
We use Elimination method to solve for this.
Multiply Equation 1 by coefficient of x in Equation 2
Equation 2 by coefficient of x in Equation 1
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1 × 5
5x + 4y = $74.91 ................Equation 2 × 3
15x + 10y = 214.75..............Equation 3
15x + 12y = 224.73..............Equation 4
Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4
2y = 9.98
y = 9.98/2
y = 4.99
Therefore, y = Cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99
Subtitute 4.99 for y in Equation 1
3x + 2y = $42.95 .............Equation 1
3x +2(4.99) = 42.95
3x + 9.98 = 42.95
3x = 42.95 - 9.98
3x = 32.97
x = 32.97/3
x = 10.99
x = Cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99
Therefore,
The cost of a chicken sharwarma wrap = $10.99
The cost of an order of spiced potatoes = $4.99
