Answer:
Each poet reads for exactly 15 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
If it should run for 90 minutes, and there is 6 poets, therefore I'm pretty sure you divide 90 by 6, which is 15.
The solution (-4,2) satisfies for the system of linear equations 3x + 13y = 14; 6x + 11y = -2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given detail is the solution of the equations (-4, 2) ie, x= - 4 and y = 2
This implies that this solution should satisfy the given linear equations.
Step 2:
Substitute values of x and y in the equations and verify whether the right hand side equals the left hand side.
System 1 Eq(1) ⇒ LHS = 3(-4) + 13 (2) = -12 + 26 = 14 = RHS
System 1 Eq(2) ⇒ LHS = 6(-4) + 11(2) = -24 + 22 = -2 = RHS
Therefore, the first system of linear equations satisfy the condition.
Without the actually predicted values in comparison to the real values it is only possible to give a very likely answer based on their scale:
a) is 25 million off, which sounds bad but when compared to a few billion in population it's not even 1%
b)3 billion is more than half the world population as error: very unlikely
c)154 billion, unlikely that a prediction is off by a factor of ~30
d)same as c
so a) is most likely the solution, but in theory the predictions could be arbitrarily bad (things like negative population, or extreme growths)
