You must multiply 2.5 by 7 to get the answer which is 17.5 pounds
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.
In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x
2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y
now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5
now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0
and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5
The candle would burn for 18 hours.
45 / 15 = 3
If the candle is three times longer than normal, it will burn three times longer than normal.
3 x 6 = 18
Answer:
a)

b)

Step-by-step explanation:
We have to build appropriate null and alternate hypothesis for the given scenarios.
a) Population mean, μ = $62,500 per year
The market research wants to find whether the mean household income of mall shoppers is higher than that of the general population.

We would use one-tail(right) test to perform this hypothesis.
b) Population mean, μ = 2.6 hours
The company want to know the average time to respond to trouble calls is different or not.

We would use two-tail test to perform this hypothesis.
Answer:
Correct option: second one
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's check each option to find the correct one.
First option: x and y increase by 2.3 times, so the figure expands. So this is not the correct option.
Second option: x and y decrease 0.52 times, so the figure is reduced. So this is the correct option.
Third option: x and y are translated by 1/3 of their position, so the figure is not reduced.
Fourth option: x and y increase by 7/2 times, so the figure expands. So this is not the correct option.
Correct option: second one
