Answer:

x=-11/6, y=7/6. (-11/6, 7/6).

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+2y=6

4x+2y=-5

-----------------

2(-2x+2y)=2(6)

4x+2y=-5

----------------------

-4x+4y=12

4x+2y=-5

----------------

6y=7

y=7/6

4x+2(7/6)=-5

4x+14/6=-5

4x=-5-14/6

4x=-30/6-14/6

4x=-44/6

x=(-44/6)/4

x=(-44/6)(1/4)

x=-44/24

simplify

x=-11/6

8. Lesly took a test with 30 questions. The ratio of correct answers to incorrect answers

Firlakuza [10]

Lesly got 14 answers correctly.

Let the correct answers be C.

Let the incorrect answers be I.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Total number of questions = 30 questions.

Ratio of C to I = 7 : 8

C to I = 7 + 8 = 15

To find the number of answers she got correctly;

$C = \frac{7}{15}$ × $30$

$C = 7$ × $2$

<em>Correct answers, C </em><em>= </em><em>14 answers</em>

Therefore, Lesly got 14 answers correctly.

A point Q on a segment with endpoints A (2, −1) and C (4, 2) partitions the segment in a 4:1 ratio. Find Q.

Annette [7]

The point Q on a line segment with end points(2,1) and (4,2) is Q(12/5, -2/5)

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line segment is a straight line that passes through two given points.

The end points of the line determine how long or short a given line segment would be.

Analysis:

point Q(x, y )

x = $\frac{MX1 + NX2}{M+N}$

y = $\frac{MY1 + MY2}{M+N}$

where M :N = 4:1

x1 = 2, x2 = 4, y1 = -1, y2 = 2

x = $\frac{4(2) +1(4)}{4+1}$ = 12/5

y = $\frac{4(-1) + 1(2)}{4+1}$ = -2/5

In conclusion, the point Q is (12/5, -2/5).

[Probability / Statistics) Twenty families were surveyed. How many have boys only?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by seeing how many families we have in total, which is 20. We then must subtract the number of families with girls only, the number of families with both boys and girls, and the number of families with no children. 20 - 7 is 13, then 13 - 8 is 5, and 5 - 0 is 5.
