Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books

and y represent the number of nonfiction books.
The system of equations models the total costs for each.
x + y = 26
x – y = 12
Elliot added the two equations and the result was
2x = 38.
Solve the equation. How many of each type of book does Elliot have?

fiction books

nonfiction books

19 fiction books

7 nonfiction books


Explanation

x + y = 26............................................. (i)

x – y = 12............................................ (ii)

By adding the two equations, Elliot obtained the result of

2x = 38.

When divided by 2;

x = 19

Therefore, there are 19 fiction books.

Substituting x into equation (i),

x + y = 26            when x = 19

19 + y = 26

y = 26 - 19

   = 7

This means there are 7 nonfiction books

−7x−50≤−1 AND−6x+70>−2
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

-7\geq x and [-7,12) expressed in interval notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound inequality -7x-50\leq -1\text{ and }-6x+70>-2 has been provided. Our task is to determine the solution for this inequality.

Initially, we will address each inequality independently, followed by merging the findings by combining the overlapping intervals.

-7x-50\leq -1

-7x-50+50\leq -1+50

-7x\leq 49

By dividing with a negative number, it is necessary to reverse the inequality sign:

\frac{-7x}{-7}\geq \frac{49}{-7}

x\geq -7

-6x+70>-2

-6x+70-70>-2-70

-6x>-72

Again, dividing by a negative requires flipping the inequality sign:

\frac{-6x}{-6}

x

In combining both intervals, we will arrive at:

-7\geq x

Thus, the solution for the inequality provided is -7\geq x and [-7,12) in interval notation.

A tobacco company claims that the amount of nicotine in its cigarettes is a randomvariable with mean 2.2 mg and standard deviati
PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

0.0000

Unusual

To explain step-by-step:

A tobacco company asserts that the nicotine content in its cigarettes behaves as a random variable with a mean of 2.2 mg and a standard deviation of.3 mg.

This means the population parameters are

\mu =2.2 \\s = 0.3

The likelihood that the sample average would equal or exceed 3.1

=P(X\geq 3.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{3.1-2.2}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{100} } } )\\=P(Z\geq 30)\\

equals 0.0000

Chris buys 8 more Ninja Turtles than Star Wars action figures. The Ninja Turtles cost $7 each and the Star Wars cost $9 each. Wr
Svet_ta [12734]
Total Cost, C = $(16S + 56). Step-by-step explanation: Chris purchases 8 more Ninja Turtles than Star Wars action figures. The cost per Ninja Turtle is $7, while each Star Wars figure costs $9. If we let S represent the number of Star Wars figures bought, then the number of Ninja Turtles becomes S + 8. The cost for S Star Wars figures is $9S. Similarly, for (S + 8) Ninja Turtles, the total cost is $(7S + 56). Therefore, the overall Total Cost is represented by the sum of the costs for both types of figures, leading to the Total Cost being expressed as C = 9S + (7S + 56).

Ezra works two summer jobs to save for a laptop that costs at least $1100. He charges $15/hr to mow lawns and $10/hr to walk dog
tester [12383]

Begin by disregarding the inequality symbol and substituting it with an '=' sign. After that, determine the x- and y-intercepts.

15x + 10y = 1,100

x-intercept:

15x + 0 = 1,100

x = 1,100/15 = 73.33

y-intercept:

0 + 10y = 1,100

y = 1,100/10 = 110


Now, plot the points (73.33,0) and (0,110). Given that the inequality symbol is ≥, representing equality, connect these points using a solid line. 

Next, let's identify a point on the graph, for instance, the origin (0,0). Use this point in the equation.

15x + 10y ≥ 1,100

15(0) + 10(0)? 1,100

0? 1,100

0 < 1,100

This makes the ≥ statement false. As a result, the alternate area defined by the line is the solution. Consequently, shade that region. The resulting graph is displayed in the attached image.
