Let x = the first number
      y = the second number
-------------------------------------
First: set up the equations.

Four times a first number: 4x
Decreased by a second number: - y
Is 4: = 4

4x - y = 4.

The first number increased by: x + 
three times the second number: 3y
is -25: = -25

x + 3y = -25.
------------------------
You can make your system of equations now.

4x - y = 4
x + 3y = -25

I would use substitution to solve these.

To do substitution, isolate a variable first, in one of the equations. I would probably isolate x in the second equation.

x + 3y = -25
x = -25 - 3y

Now, you can substitute -25 - 3y into 4x - y = 4, as x.

4x - y = 4
4(-25 - 3y) - y = 4

Now just solve for y.

-100 - 12y - y = 4
-13y = 104
y = -8

Now, you can put -8 as y into one of the original equations, I'll just use 4x - y = 4.

4x -  y = 4
4x - (-8) = 4
4x + 8 = 4
4x = -4
x = -1

So the first number is -1, and the second -2.

let x be 1st no. and y be the 2nd no.

so 4x - y = 4

and x + 3y = -25

re-arrange first eqn y = 4x - 4

substitute y into second eqn

x + 3(4x - 4) = -25

13x - 12 = -25

13x = -13

x = -1

y = 4(-1 - 1) = -8

In 24 hours, the worm climbs 5 feet.

7-2= 5 (the worm falls 2 feet every night)


So,

5*8=40 

It will take bruce's worm about 8 days to get to the top of the well. 

I hope this helps!

To qualify for a police academy, candidates must score in the top 10% on a general abilities test. The test has a mean of 200 an
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

z = 1.28 < a - 200/20

And if we solve for a we got

a = 200 + 1.28 * 20 = 225.6

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 225.6.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X ~ N (200,20)

For u = 200 and o = 20

For this case we can use the z score in order to solve this problem, given by this formula:

Z = x-u/o

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P (X > a) = 0.1 (a)

P (X < a) = 0.9 (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P ( X < a) = P (X-u/o < a - u/o) = 0.9

P (z < a-u/o) = 0.9

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z = 1.28 < a - 200/20

And if we solve for a we got

a = 200 + 1.28 * 20 = 225.6

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 225.6.
