Where is the future value, is the present value, is the annual interest rate expressed as a decimal, is the number of compounding periods per year (semi-annual = 2), and is the number of years. Plug in your values and do the arithmetic.

If 35 have children and 15 have both pets and children then 35 minus 15 = 20 have only children. Likewise, 7 have only pets.

So, 20 + 15 + 7 = 42 have either one or both, and 60 - 42 have neither. From those values you can calculate either question A or question B. Once you have either one, the probability of the other is 1 minus the probability of the first.

In general, here is the process to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

Let represent the whole number part of the mixed number, let represent the denominator of the fraction part, and let represent the numerator part of the fraction part, then the improper fraction equivalent of the mixed number is:



In other words, multiply the denominator of the fraction part times the whole number part and add the product to the numerator.

For example:



Four times two is eight plus one is nine -- nine is the new numerator and the denominator remains the same.

Start with either one of your equations.

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier.

Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.

Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).

Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.

Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x.

Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.

Step 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 using the other equation.

The point where the lines intersect is the solution, because the coordinates of that point will satisfy (read: make true) both of your equations. You need to determine, by inspection of the graph, what the coordinates of that point are and report your answer as an ordered pair, (x,y), using those coordinates. To check your answer, you should substitute this set of coordinates into each of your original equations and verify that you have a true statement for each of the equations.

If both lines graph to the same line, then the solution set is infinite, i.e. every ordered pair that satisfies one equation will satisfy the other. If the lines are parallel, then the solution set is empty.

A consistent system has at least one solution.

An inconsistent system has no solutions.

An independent system has exactly one solution.

A dependent system has infinitely many solutions.

Therefore a system can be either consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent.

In order to get the diagonal of one face you applied the Pythagorean theorem to the triangle formed by two sides on one face and the diagonal on that face. Now create another right triangl where the legs are and and use Pythagoras to find the hypotenuse of this triangle which will be your desired diagonal.

I'm not so sure that I would hang my hat on your algebra techniques, but you did get the right answer. I don't quite understand why you thought you needed to set this up as an absolute value problem unless Peoria was an intermediate stop and you wanted to know the two different times that she would be 80 miles distant from Peoria (The first time being when she had 80 miles remaining of the 180 mile trip and the second being 1 hour and 36 minutes after she had passed Peoria).

Assuming, as one would ordinarily do when told that Person 1 is driving from point A to point B, that the person stops when they get to point B, then you have no reason to use the absolute value function since, given that she stops when she gets to Peoria, the largest value that the quantity 50t can assume is 180 miles, and therefore the expression 180 - 50t can never be less than zero.

With that assumption in mind, if she only has 80 miles to go, then she has traveled 100 miles and 100 miles divided by 50 mph is 2 hours.







.

If you actually were interested in the next time that she would be 80 miles from Peoria if she had continued on through, then:



Hence



which we solved above, or







hours

or 5 hours and 12 minutes after leaving Chicago, which I will leave as an exercise for the student to verify is 1 hour and 36 minutes after passing through Peoria.
