What is the solution of the system? Use the substitution method.

1 answer:

8 0

Start by isolating one of the variables
x=-4y+2
Sub x into the other formula and solve for the y value of the solution.
3(-4y+2)+2y=11
-12y+6+2y=11
-12y+2y=11-6
-10y=5
y=-1/2
Sub the y value into the x formula you created.
x=-4(-1/2)+2
x=2+2
x=4
Therefore the solution is (4,-1/2) I think the answer is B unless the y value is actually -12.
Hope this helps :)

A ladder is leaning up against a 17 foot Wall at an angle of elevation of 37°. How far is the foot of the latter from the wall?

inn [45]

This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)

The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 oun

Ugo [173]

Answer: A) .1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce.

i.e. $\mu=12.30$ and $\sigma=0.20$

Let x denotes the amount of soda in any can.

Every can that has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it must go through a special cleaning process before it can be sold.

Then, the probability that a randomly selected can will need to go through the mentioned process = probability that a randomly selected can has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it =

$P(x>12.50)=1-P(x\leq12.50)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{12.50-12.30}{0.20})\\\\=1-P(z\leq1)\ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-0.8413\ \ \ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\=0.1587$
