"The difference between five-halves of a number and 17 is 48."

Let Monique have m brushes.
Chelsea then has <span>11m brushes because she has 11 times as many as Monique. Together they total 60 brushes, so we form the equation:

                                              m+11m=60.

Thus 12m=60, and dividing both sides by 12 gives m=5.

Chelsea has 11m=11*5=55 brushes.

Answer: 55</span>

Her target is set at 60 boxes. I laid out my reasoning by formulating an equation to find x and I hope this assists you.:)

I have included a screenshot of the entire question along with its accompanying diagram.

Answer:
∠1 = 163°

Explanation:
1- finding angle 2:
Given that ∠2 together with 17° creates a straight angle, their total is 180°.
Thus:
180 = 17 + ∠2
Solving for ∠2 gives us:
∠2 = 180 - 17
∠2 = 163°

2- finding angle 1:
Since lines a and b are parallel, ∠1 and ∠2 are alternate angles and therefore equal.
We determined that ∠2 = 163°, leading to:
∠1 = 163°

I hope this clarifies things!:)

Let's explore this step-by-step:

Greetings!

Here are the variables

X: daily cost of hotel rooms

Y: expenses for entertainment

Refer to the second attachment for the scatter plot.

The population regression equation can be expressed as E(Yi)= α + βXi

To find the y-intercept and the slope of the regression line, apply the following formulas:

a= Y[bar]-bX[bar]

In this scenario, n= 9; ∑X= 945; ∑X²= 103325; ∑Y= 1134; ∑Y²= 148804; ∑XY= 123307

Calculating X[bar]= ∑X/n= 945/9= 105

Calculating Y[bar]= ∑Y/n= 1134/9= 126

Thus, it follows that a= 126 - 1.03*105= 17.49

The regression equation is then given by ^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi

Slope interpretation: For each unit increase in the daily hotel rate, the expected average spending on entertainment rises by $1.03.

Given that the room rate in Chicago is $128 (X), we can predict the entertainment expenditure (Y) using the estimated regression line:

^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi= 17.49 + 1.03*128= 149.33

The anticipated spending on entertainment for Chicago is $149.33

I trust this will assist you!

The solution is C. Let’s start by identifying the equations without inequalities. Since there's a dotted line at y = 1, options A and B can be disregarded. Dotted lines indicate exclusivity, so they do not encompass the = sign. Therefore, the answer must be C.
