Answer:

x=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to get x by itself to see what it equals.

6(2x+3)=36

So first you want to distribute you proprieties. You do that by multiplying 6 and 2x. Then multiplying 6 and 3.

12x+18=36

Now in equations where you need to find the variable, whatever you do on one side of the equal sign, you have to do on the other side. So now we want to subtract 18 from both sides.

12x+18=36

-18 -18

Then we divide 12 from both sides.

12x=18

÷12 ÷12

Now you have your answer!

x=1.5

Given the data points, (x, y) of a linear function: (2, 11), (4, 10), (6, 9), (12, 6), what is the function? What is the slope?

NeX [460]

Answer:

The function is $y~=~12 ~-~ 0.5 \cdot x$ .

The slope is $m=-0.5$ .

The y-intercept is $b=12$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Our aim is to calculate the values m (slope) and b (y-intercept) in the equation of a line :

$y=mx+b$

We have the following data:

$\begin{array}{c|cccc}x&2&4&6&12\\y&11&10&9&6\end{array}$

To find the line of best fit for the points given, you must:

Step 1: Find $X\cdot Y$ and $X\cdot X$ as it was done in the table below.

Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

$\sum{X} = 24 ~,~ \sum{Y} = 36 ~,~ \sum{X \cdot Y} = 188 ~,~ \sum{X^2} = 200$

Step 3: Use the following equations to find b and m:

$\begin{aligned} b &= \frac{\sum{Y} \cdot \sum{X^2} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{XY} }{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} = \frac{ 36 \cdot 200 - 24 \cdot 188}{ 4 \cdot 200 - 24^2} \approx 12 \\ \\m &= \frac{ n \cdot \sum{XY} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{Y}}{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} = \frac{ 4 \cdot 188 - 24 \cdot 36 }{ 4 \cdot 200 - \left( 24 \right)^2} \approx -0.5\end{aligned}$

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line

$\begin{aligned} y~&=~b ~+~ m \cdot x \\y~&=~12 ~-~ 0.5 \cdot x\end{aligned}$

The graph of the regression line is:

In a state's Pick 3 lottery game, you pay $1.15 to select a sequence of three digits (from 0 to 9), such as 966. If you sel

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

A) 1000 different selections

B) probability of winning = 0.001

C) Net profit on winning = $257.20

D) E(y) = -0. 89165

E) Option B - The Pick 4 game is a better bet because it has a larger expected value.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) For the different selections possible, since each of the digits from 0 - 9 can take a total of 10 digits, then the different selections possible will be = 10³ = 1000 different selections

B) To find the probability of winning, since only one pick can be a winning one. Thus probability of winning = 1/1000 = 0.001

C) Net profit on winning = Amount won - Amount staked

Amount won = $258.35

Amount staked = $1.15

Thus;

Net profit on winning = $258.35 - $1.15

Net profit on winning = $257.20

D) If we call the net profit "y", then Expected value is:

E(y) = 257.2(0.001) - 1.15(1 - 0.001)

E(y) = 0.2572 - 1.14885

E(y) = -0. 89165

E) We are told that:If you bet $ 1.15 in a certain state's Pick 4 game, the expected value is negative −$0.89

The expected value of -0.89 in pick 4 is better than that in pick 3 because it's larger.

7 divided by 4 x + 3 Y + 4 divided / 4 x minus 3 Y is equal to 5 / 4

DerKrebs [107]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(x, y) = (4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you attempt to solve this by clearing fractions, you end up with an extraneous solution. Here, we'll solve the linear equations ...

7a +4b = 5/4

8b -14a = 3/2

where a = 1/(4x+3y) and b = 1/(4x-3y)

Dividing the second equation by 2 and adding the first, we have ...

(7a +4b) +1/2(8b -14a) = (5/4) +1/2(3/2)

8b = 8/4

b = 1/4

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

7a +4/4 = 5/4

a = 1/28

Now, we can get back to solving for x and y.

4x +3y = 1/a = 28

4x -3y = 1/b = 4

8x = 32 . . . . . . . . . add the two equations

x = 4

3y = 28 -4x = 28 -4(4) = 12 . . . . . use x in the equation for 'a'; rearrange

y = 4 . . . . divide by 3

The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (4, 4).

Additional comment

If you graph these equations, you find they describe hyperbolas that intersect at (0, 0) and (4, 4). The "solution" (0, 0) is extraneous, as both equations are undefined there.
