Answer: x=2, y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) Make both equations have the same coefficient

What I mean by this is make either y or x have the same number multiplied to them so that we can eliminate. We can do this by multiplying everything in the first equation by 2.

$(2)x - (2)2y = (2)4\\2x-4y=8$

Step 2) Add the equations together to eliminate y

$2x - 4y = 8\\+3x + 4y = 2\\5x+0=10\\5x=10$

Step 3) Solve for x

$\frac{5x}{5} =\frac{10}{5} \\x=2$

Step 4) Sub the value of x into an equation and solve for y

$x-2y=4\\2-2y=4\\2-2-2y=4-2\\-2y=2\\\frac{-2y}{-2} =\frac{2}{-2} \\y=-1$

In Physics, the usual pattern or principle for pressure suggests that as the force increases and the area decreases, the pressure increases which is dependent as to the interval of both force and area's intensifies or diminishes. Though in this problem, if we base on the given data it seems that the pressure is currently increasing and is faced by a positive correlation at almost 50% in rate as evident that when the 33 ft increased to about 66ft the latter simultaneously rise with it.

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. At this point in time, you have no reasonable preliminary estim

prohojiy [21]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that a sample size of 3,385 is required.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 98% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.98$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.98}{2} = 0.99$ , so the critical value is z = 2.327.

We have no prior estimate, hence $\pi = 0.5$ is used, which is when the largest sample size is needed. To find the sample size, we solve the margin of error expression for n when M = 0.02, hence:
