Solve each equation below. Show each step and check your work.

a) 56a – 178 = 98 – 248
b) 640 + 70 = 69y + 20

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 0.5

B) 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A) First, you need to Combine Like Terms on the right side of the =

98-248 = -150

Now, you need to Isolate the variable by getting rid of the -178. What you do to one side, you must do the the other.

56a-178(+178) = -150(+178)

56a = 28

Finally, you must remove that 56 on the a. Since it stands for 56 x a, you must do the same you did with the -178 except with Division.

56a/56 = 28/56

a = 0.5

B) Combine Like terms

640+70 = 710

Isolate the variable

710(-20) = 69y+20(=20)

690 = 69y

Remove the 69 with division

690/69 = 69y/69

10 = y

What is meant by an angle?

An angle is a figure in Euclidean geometry made up of two rays that share a vertex, or common endpoint, and are referred to as the sides of the angle. Two planes intersecting at an angle also produces an angle.

A measure of an angle or of a rotation is also referred to as an angle. The ratio of a circular arc's length to radius is known as this quantity. When it comes to a geometric angle, the arc's vertex serves as its center and its sides as its boundaries. When there is a rotation, the arc is defined by the rotation's image and any other point other than the rotation's center.

In triangle QRS,

And from the figure,

∠R=∠S

Therefore,

∠R+∠S+∠Q=180⁰

Booker's father amount of commission earned is 668.31 dollars.

Sophia needs to make sells of 16744 dollars in order to earn at least 1800 dollars in commission.

How to find how much commission Booker's father will earn?

Booker's father sells computer software and earns a 4.25% commission on every software package he sells.

The amount of commission he will earn after selling a software package of $15, 725 can be calculated as follows:

amount of commission earned = 4.25% of 15725

amount of commission earned =  4.25 / 100 × 15725

amount of commission earned = 66831.25 / 100

Therefore,

amount of commission earned = 668.3125

amount of commission earned = 668.31 dollars

Sophia needs to earn at least 1800 dollars each month to cover her living expenses.

The minimum she needs to sell in order to earn at least 1800 dollars if she earns 10.75% commission can be calculated as follows:

let

x = amount she needs to sell

Therefore,

10.75% of x ≥ 1800

10.75 / 100 x ≥  1800

multiply both sides by 100

10.75x ≥ 180000

divide both sides by 10.75

x ≥ 16744.1860465

x ≥ 16744

Therefore, she needs to sell 16744 dollars worth of goods.

a) the group must have the same number of students from each grade?

b) the group must have at least two grade 9 students? [2A]

c) the group must have James and Lucy (both grade 11 students) in it? [2A]

Answers

The number of groups, using the combination formula, for each case, is given as follows:

a) Same number of students from each grade: 1,245,816,000

b) At least two grade nine students: 31,650,886,995.

c) James and Lucy are in it: 2,481,256,778.

How to obtain the number of groups?

The number of groups is obtained for the three cases using the combination formula, as the order in which the students are chosen is not important.

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, obtained by the following formula, involving factorials.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

For item a, the same number of students is taken from each class, hence 3 students are taken from each class, as 12 students are taken from 4 classes, hence 12/4 = 3.

Hence the number of groups, considering the number of students in each class, is of:

[tex]C_{10,3}C_{11,3}C_{12,3}C_{13,3} = \frac{10!}{7!3!} \times \frac{11!}{8!3!} \times \frac{12!}{9!3!} \times \frac{13!}{10!3!} = 120 \times 165 \times 220 \times 286 = 1,245,816,000[/tex]

For item b, we use complementary events, first obtaining the total number of students that can be taken, and then removing the combinations that do not have at least two grade nine students.

The total number of groups is obtained as follows:

[tex]C_{46,12} = \frac{46!}{12!34!} = 38,910,617,655[/tex]

(as there are 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 = 46 students, and 12 are taken).

The number of groups with none students from grade 9 is:

[tex]C_{36,12} = \frac{36!}{12!24!} = 1,251,677,700[/tex]

(removing the 10 students from grade 9).

The number of groups with one student from grade 9 is:

[tex]C_{10,1}C_{36,11} = 10 \times \frac{36!}{11!25!} = 6,008,052,960[/tex]

(one from grade 10 and the remaining from the other classes).

This the number of groups with at least two grade 9 students is calculated as follows:

38,910,617,655 - (1,251,677,700 + 6,008,052,960) = 31,650,886,995.

For item c, considering Jamie and Lucy in it, the remaining 10 students are taken from a set containing the 44 remaining students, hence:

[tex]C_{44,10} = \frac{44!}{10!34!} = 2,481,256,778[/tex]

The probability of getting someone in the 18-21 age bracket or someone who responds is 28.7%.

The total number of people in the 18-21 age bracket is 93. The number of people in this bracket who responded is 79. The number of people in this bracket who refuse to respond is 14. The total number of people in the 22-29 age bracket is 251. The number of people in this bracket who responded is 219. The number of people in this bracket who refuse to respond is 32.

A person is randomly selected from all the people surveyed. We need to find out the probability of getting someone in the 18-21 age bracket or someone who responds. Let the variables E1 and E2 represent the events.

E1 is the event of getting a person from the 18-21 age bracket.

E2 is the event of getting a person who responds.

P(E1∪E2) = P(E1) + P(E2) - P(E1∩E2)

P(E1∪E2) = (93/344) + [(79 + 219)/344] - (79/93)

P(E1∪E2) = 0.27035 + 0.86628 - 0.84946

P(E1∪E2) = 0.28717

Hence, the probability of getting someone in the 18-21 age bracket or someone who responds is 28.7%.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

Answers

By using the distributive property, we will rewrite the expression as:

2n*(5m -1) = 10*n*m - 2n

How to apply the distributive property?

The distributive property of the multiplication says that the product:

A*(B + C)

Can be rewritten as:

A*(B + C) = A*B + A*C

So we are "distributing" the product.

In this case, we have the expression:

2n*(5m - 1)

If we apply the distributive property, then we will get:

2n*(5m - 1) = (2n)*(5m) + (2n)*(-1)

Now we can simplify this expression to get:

(2n)*(5m) + (2n)*(-1) = 10*n*m - 2n

Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice by Julia Alvarez. Passage A: Given this mandate of silence, I was a real thorn in my mother's side. Passage B: Unfortunately for my mother, I grew up to be a writer publishing under my maiden name. . . . When I published a first novel with a strong autobiographical base, she did not talk to me for months. Passage C: When the [second] novel came out, I decided to go ahead and risk her anger. I inscribed a copy to both Mami and Papi with a note: "Thank you for having instilled in me through your sufferings a desire for freedom and justice." . . . . Days later, my mother called me up to tell me she had just finished the novel. "You put me back in those days. It was like I was reliving it all," she said sobbing. "I don't care what happens to us! I'm so proud of you for writing this book." I stood in my kitchen in Vermont, stunned, relishing her praise and listening to her cry. It was one of the few times since l had learned to talk that I did not try to answer my mother back. If there is such a thing as genetic justice that courses through the generations and finally manifests itself full-blown in a family moment, there it was. How does the author develop the central idea across these passages? Alvarez describes how she and her mother were emotionally distant, but once she moved to Vermont, her mother was finally able to bestow praise. Alvarez describes events in her childhood to show how the relationship between her and her mother was strained, but improved as she grew older. Alvarez traces moments that highlight her mothers desire for silence, culminating in the moment her mother expressed pride in her writing. Alvarez explains the difficulty she had in going against her mothers wishes to write about their experiences and how it was worth it in the end.
