The correct answer is: [B]: " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
-4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ; ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;
↔ y - 5x = -5 ; Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x
y = -5 + 5x ; ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
-4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ; and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
-4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ;
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5) = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So: -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;
On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;
-4x +10x = 6x ; and rewrite:
6x - 10 = 2 ;
Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:
6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;
to get:
6x = 12 ; Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;
x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
-5(2) + y = -5 ;
-10 + y = -5 ; ↔
y - 10 = -5 ;
Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;
y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation:
-5x + y = -5 ;
-5(2) + 5 =? -5?
-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:
-4x + 2y = 2 ;
-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?
-8 + 10 =? 2 ? Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is:
___________________________________________________________
x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .

9 is 18% of 50. So, 50 percent also written as 50% means 50 out of 100 parts. Since there are exactly two 50s in 100, fifty percent is the same number as one half. 50 percent=0.5 in but as a fraction, its 1/2.
Answer:
Media = 4.1
Mediana = 4
Moda = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 personas obtuvieron 5 puntos
5 personas obtuvieron 4 puntos
2 personas lograron 3 puntos
a. La media se da como:
Media = suma total de marcas / número de personas
Por lo tanto, la media será:
b. Para obtener la mediana, tenemos que organizar los términos en consecuencia y encontrar el número en el medio.
3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5
Como no hay un número único en el medio, la mediana es:
(4 + 4) / 2 = 8/2 = 4
c. La moda es el número que aparece más, y eso es 4
Answer:
(A) The odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.
(B) The odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.
A. What are the odds that the taxpayer will be audited?
B. What are the odds against such tax payer being audited?
Solution:
The proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were audited is:
P (A) = 0.015
Then the proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were not audited will be:
P (A') = 1 - P (A)
= 1 - 0.015
= 0.985
(A)
Compute the odds that the taxpayer will be audited as follows:
Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.
(B)
Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:
Thus, the odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.
Angle a and b are supplementary angles which means that when added they equal 180.
so we must set our equation equal to 180.
8x+74+2x+56=180
which simplifies to 10x+130=180
then subtract 130 from both sides.
10x=50
x=5
So we plug in 5 to find the measure of b.
2(5)+56=b
10+56=b
66=b
the measure of angle b is 66 degrees
