someone please help with finding the greatest common factor, my teacher didn't explain it well

Let's start by setting up some equations to represent the given information.

Let's say the price of a postcard is "x" cents.

Then, according to the problem statement, the price of an envelope is 8 times cheaper than the notepad, which means the price of an envelope is (1/8)th of the price of the notepad. So the price of an envelope is (1/8)*y cents, where "y" is the price of the notepad in cents.

Also, we know that the price of an envelope is 2 cents more expensive than the price of a postcard, so we can write:

(1/8)*y = x + 2 ...(Equation 1)

We also know that there are 15 postcards and 10 envelopes in the purchase, so the total cost of the postcards and envelopes is:

15x + 10[(1/8)*y] ...(Equation 2)

Finally, we have a notepad that costs "y" cents. So the total cost of the purchase is:

15x + 10[(1/8)*y] + y ...(Equation 3)

We are given that the total cost of the purchase is 1 dollar and 68 cents, which is equal to 168 cents. So we can write:

15x + 10[(1/8)*y] + y = 168 ...(Equation 4)

Now we have four equations (Equation 1, Equation 2, Equation 3, and Equation 4) with three variables (x, y, and 168). We can solve for x and y by using a system of equations.

From Equation 1, we can solve for y in terms of x:

(1/8)*y = x + 2

y = 8x + 16

Substituting this expression for y into Equations 2 and 3, we get:

15x + 10[(1/8)*y] = 15x + 10(8x + 16) = 160x + 160

15x + 10[(1/8)*y] + y = 15x + 8x + 16 = 23x + 16

Substituting these expressions into Equation 4, we get:

23x + 16 = 168

Solving for x, we get:

x = 6

Substituting this value for x into Equation 1, we can solve for y:

(1/8)*y = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

y = 64

So the price of a postcard is 6 cents, the price of an envelope is (1/8)*64 + 2 = 10 cents, and the price of a notepad is 64 cents

Answer:

x = -16/7 and y = 38/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations:

x + 3y - 22 = 0 --- equation (1)

2x - y + 42 = 0 --- equation (2)

x - 11y + 142 = 0 --- equation (3)

We will use the method of substitution to find the values of x and y that satisfy all three equations.

From equation (1), we can express x in terms of y:

x = 22 - 3y --- equation (4)

We can substitute equation (4) into equation (2) and simplify:

2(22 - 3y) - y + 42 = 0

44 - 6y - y + 42 = 0

-7y = -38

y = 38/7

Now, we can substitute the value of y into equation (4) to find x:

x = 22 - 3(38/7)

x = -16/7

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:

x = -16/7 and y = 38/7.

To create point R such that a line through points P and R is parallel to line l, Gerald needs to draw a line through points T and N.

We have,

We know that line l is parallel to line m since both lines intersect at point Q and no other point.

The circle centered at Q intersects line m at point S and line l at point N, which means that QS is perpendicular to line l.

Similarly, the circle centered at P intersects line m at point T, which means PT is perpendicular to line l.

To create a line parallel to line l, Gerald needs to find a line perpendicular to line l.

This can be achieved by drawing a line through points T and N. This new line will be parallel to QS and perpendicular to line l.

Finally, Gerald can find the intersection of this new line with the circle centered at P to find point R, which will be equidistant from points P and T. Drawing a line through points P and R will be parallel to line l.

Thus,

To create point R such that a line through points P and R is parallel to line l, Gerald needs to draw a line through points T and N.

the distance between line t and point D(-7, 0) is approximately 3.5 units.

what is distance  ?

Distance is a measure of the amount of space between two objects or points. It is usually measured in units such as meters, kilometers, miles, or feet. Distance can be either a scalar quantity

In the given question,

To find the distance between line t and point D(-7, 0), we need to first find the point on line t that is closest to point D.

We can use the formula for the distance between a point and a line in the coordinate plane:

distance = |Ax + By + C| / √(A^2 + B^2)

where Ax + By + C is the equation of the line in standard form, and (x, y) is the coordinates of the point.

In this case, the equation of line t is y = -x - 2, which we can rewrite in standard form as x + y + 2 = 0.

Using the formula above, we have:

distance = |x + y + 2| / √(1^2 + (-1)^2)

distance = |(-7) + 0 + 2| / √(2)

distance = 5 / √(2)

distance ≈ 3.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, the distance between line t and point D(-7, 0) is approximately 3.5 units.

The method that could be used to fairly choose the class president in the given scenario is flipping a fair coin. This is because flipping a fair coin is a random process and both candidates have an equal chance of winning. This ensures fairness in the selection process. Asking a group of senior teachers or letting the two candidates mutually decide who should win may introduce biases and may not be fair to both candidates. Rolling a biased die may also introduce unfairness as the outcome is not random and is predetermined.

a) The probability of picking a sweet tea on the first draw is 8/12. Since we did not replace the first tea, the probability of picking another sweet tea on the second draw is 7/11. Similarly, the probability of picking a sweet tea on the third draw is 6/10. Therefore, the probability of picking 3 sweet teas in a row is:

(8/12) * (7/11) * (6/10) = 0.2545 or 127/500

b) There are 3 ways to pick exactly one sweet tea: S U U, U S U, U U S, where S represents a sweet tea and U represents an unsweetened tea. The probability of picking a sweet tea on the first draw is 8/12, and the probability of picking an unsweetened tea is 4/12. Therefore, the probability of picking exactly one sweet tea is:

(8/12) * (4/11) * (3/10) + (4/12) * (8/11) * (3/10) + (4/12) * (3/11) * (8/10) = 0.4364 or 48/110

the more extreme height was the case for the shortest living man (13.38 standard deviation units below the population's mean) compare with the tallest man that was 9.21 standard deviation units above the population's mean.

To answer this question, we need to use standardized values, and we can obtain them using the formula:

z = (x - μ)σ  ..  [1]  

Where,

x is the raw score we want to standardize.

μ is the population's mean.

σ is the population standard deviation.

A z-score "tells us" the distance from  in standard deviation units, and a positive value indicates that the raw score is above the mean and a negative that the raw score is below the mean.

In a normal distribution, the more extreme values are those with bigger z-scores, above and below the mean. We also need to remember that the normal distribution is symmetrical.

Heights of men at that time had:

μ = 171.59 cm

σ  = 5.47 cm.

Let us see the z-score for each case:

Case 1: The tallest living man at that time

The tallest man had a height of 222 cm.

Using [1], we have (without using units):

z = (x - μ)σ

z = (222 - 171.59)/5.47

z = 50.41 / 5.47

z = 9.21

That is, the tallest living man was 9.21 standard deviation units above the population's mean.

Case 2: The shortest living man at that time

The shortest man had a height of 98.4 cm.

Following the same procedure as before, we have:

z = (x - μ)σ

z = (98.4 - 171.59)/5.47

z = - 13.38

That is, the shortest living man was 13.38 standard deviation units below the population's mean (because of the negative value for the standardized value.)

The normal distribution is symmetrical (as we previously told). The height for the shortest man was at the other extreme of the normal distribution in  standard deviation units more than the tallest man.

Then, the more extreme height was the case for the shortest living man (13.38 standard deviation units below the population's mean) compare with the tallest man that was 9.21 standard deviation units above the population's mean.

BC/AB=.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the amount invested at 6%, Y be the amount invested at 9%, and Z be the amount invested at 13%.

From the problem, we know that:

X + Y + Z = 7600 ---(1) (the total amount invested is $7600)

0.06X + 0.09Y + 0.13Z = 818 ---(2) (the total income from the investments is $818)

Z = X + Y + 1200 ---(3) (the amount invested at 13% is $1200 more than the amounts invested at 6% and 9% combined)

We can use equation (3) to substitute for Z in equations (1) and (2), then solve for X and Y as follows:

X + Y + (X + Y + 1200) = 7600

2X + 2Y = 6400

X + Y = 3200

0.06X + 0.09Y + 0.13(X + Y + 1200) = 818

0.06X + 0.09Y + 0.13X + 0.13Y + 156 = 818

0.19X + 0.22Y = 662

Using the system of equations X + Y = 3200 and 0.19X + 0.22Y = 662, we can solve for X and Y to get:

X = 800

Y = 2400

Substituting back into equation (3), we get:

Z = X + Y + 1200 = 4400

Therefore, the amounts invested at 6%, 9%, and 13% were $800, $2400, and $4400 respectively.

Answer: it will take approximately 14.62 years for the initial investment to double at an interest rate of 4.75% per year, compounded continuously.

Step-by-step explanation: Given an investment of $2000 at a continuously compounded interest rate of 4.75%, the balance in the account can be calculated using the following mathematical expression after t years:

The aforementioned equation, A = P * e^(rt), denotes the relationship between the accrued amount (A) and the principal amount (P), compounded continuously at a fixed annual rate of interest (r) over a specific time period (t), as governed by the mathematical constant "e."

In the context of financial calculations, the symbol 'P' denotes the initial capital investment. The interest rate, represented by the variable 'r', is expressed in the form of a decimal. Additionally, 'e' is the mathematical constant, roughly equivalent to 2.71828. Finally, 't' refers to the duration of the investment, measured in years.

In order to determine the duration of time required for the investment to achieve a twofold increase, it is necessary to solve the corresponding equation:

The equation expressed as 2P = P * e^(rt) can be restated more formally as follows. Given a principal investment amount represented by P and a rate of return indicated by r, compounded over time t, the equation can be expressed as the product of P and the exponential function of e^(rt), yielding twice the initial investment amount.

The variable 2P represents the monetary value acquired through doubling the initial investment.

Upon division of both sides by P, the resulting expression is as follows:

The equation 2 equals the exponential function of the base e raised to the power of the product of r and t.

By applying the natural logarithm function to both expressions, the resultant outcome is:

The natural logarithm of 2 can be represented as rt, where r denotes the logarithmic base and t denotes the logarithm of the argument, in accordance with the conventions of academic mathematical writing.

Upon resolving for the variable t, an outcome is yielded:

The mathematical expression t = ln(2) / r can be written in a formal academic style as follows: The equation determines the relationship between time t and the rate of decay r, where t is equal to the natural logarithm of 2 divided by r.

Upon substitution of the provided values, the resultant output is:

The calculated value of the variable t, representing the length of time in years, is approximately equal to 14.62 years, obtained through the algebraic manipulation of the natural logarithmic function of 2 divided by the constant value of 0.0475.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we simplify the expression -5/9 - (-9/4), we can rewrite it as:

-5/9 + 9/4

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 9 and 4 is 36, so we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 36:

-5/9 = -20/36

9/4 = 81/36

Now we can substitute these values into our expression and add them:

-20/36 + 81/36 = 61/36

Therefore, the simplified expression is 61/36.
