Bob has some 10 lb weights and some 3 lb weights. Together, all his weights add up to 50 lbs. If x represents the number of 3 lb

weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights, which equation can be used to find the number of each type of weight Bob has?

Total weight = 50 lb
x = count of 3-lb weights
y = count of 10-lb weights

weight from 3-lb weights = 3x
weight from 10-lb weights = 10y
overall weight = 3x + 10y

equation
3x + 10y = 50

A high school theater club has 40 students, of whom 6 are left-handed. Two students from the club will be selected at random, on
babunello [8429]

Response:

1.92\%

Detailed explanation:

Probability for an event is calculated as the ratio of the size of the event space compared to that of the sample space.

The sample space encompasses all possible outcomes.

Event space represents the number of favorable outcomes for the event in question.

Thus

Let

x ------> size of event space

y ----- → size of sample space

so

P=\frac{x}{y}

Calculate the probability of the first student being left-handed

we have

x=6

y=40

substituting values

P=\frac{6}{40}

Simplify

P=\frac{3}{20}

Calculate the probability of the second student being left-handed

we have

x=6-1=5

y=40-1=39

substituting values

P=\frac{5}{39}

Calculate the probability that both selected students will be left-handed

Multiply the probabilities together.

P=\frac{3}{20}(\frac{5}{39})=\frac{15}{780}

Convert to percentage

Multiply by 100

\frac{15}{780}(100)=1.92\%

A direct variation function contains the points (–8, –6) and (12, 9). Which equation represents the function? y = –4/3x y = –3/4
Zina [9184]

Answer:

First, we must calculate the slope

m=Y2-Y1/X2-X1

= 9 - (-6) / 12 - (-8)

= 15/20

= 3/4

Therefore, the equation with the slope of 3/4 is Y=3/4x

Option D is indeed correct, as it ensures that the post's point is equidistant from the ground, maintaining a perpendicular angle at two points on the surface.

On her birthday, Sonia distributed chocolates in an orphanage. She gave 5 chocolates to each child and 20 chocolates to adults.
Svet_ta [9556]

Answer with explanation:

Total number of children = x

Total chocolates shared = y

In total, the chocolates distributed to the children equals 5 times the number of children, or 5 x.

Chocolates received by adults equal 20.

Let the number of adults be z.

Expressing this situation as an equation:

y = 5 x + 20 z

z=\frac{y-5 x}{20}

⇒Number of adults = z

       =\frac{y-5 x}{20}
