If you have multiple equations with multiple variables, you can either do clever substitutions, or turn it into a matrix on which you can perform linear combinations or multiplications (Gauss elimination)

1  1   1  1
2  1  -1  8
1 -1   1  -5

(note how the above 3 rows represent the 3 equations, just got rid of the variables, plus sign and equals sign)

subtract row1 from row3, that eliminates x and z from row 3.

1  1   1  1
2  1  -1  8
0 -2   0  -6

divide row3 by -2, that will give y a factor of 1

1  1   1  1
2  1  -1  8
0 1   0  3

The last row now says y=3

Answer:

  y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides marked with the same marking are congruent, so we have two equations:

  • 3x -y = 16
  • 2x +y = 9

Adding the equations gives ...

  5x = 25

  x = 5 . . . . . . divide by 5

Then the second equation tells us ...

  y = 9 -2x = 9 -2(5) = -1

The value of y is -1.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1m longer than twice one of the other two sides. The third side of the triangle is 15m. Fi
Dimas [21]

Let the length of unknown side be x

So, hypotenuse = 2x + 1

By pythagorean theorem ie , a² = b² + c²

(2x + 1)² = x² + 15²

4x² + 1 + 4x = x² + 225

3x² + 4x -224

(3x +28)(x-8)

x = -9.33 , 8

Since, length can't be negative

x = 8

∴Unknown side length = 8 m

Length of hypotenuse = 2 x 8 + 1 = 17 m

Hope it helps now.

A college statistics class at a nearby university has 1,000 students enrolled in it. On a recent exam, the mean score was 75% wi
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

38.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 75, standard deviation (σ) = 5

Z score is a measure in statistics to determine the variation of a raw score from the mean. It is given by the equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

To calculate the percentage of students scored between a 73 and 78 (C grade), we need to find the z score for 73 and then for 78.

For x = 73, the z score is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{73-75}{5} =-0.4

For x = 78, the z score is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{78-75}{5} =0.6

From the probability distribution table:

P(73 < x < 78) = P(-0.4 < z < 0.6) = P(z < 0.6) - P(z < -0.4) = 0.7257 - 0.3446 = 0.3811 = 38.11%
