Solve using substitution

Mathematics

The first step is to isolate one of the variables from one of the equations. We can pick either variable and either equation. The easiest to pick on is the 'x' from the first equation as the coefficient here is 1.

Isolate x in the first equation. Subtract 3y from both sides
x+3y = 8
x+3y-3y = 8-3y
x = 8-3y
So we can see that x is the same as 8-3y

Now move onto the second equation
3x - 5y = -18
3( x ) - 5y = -18 ... rewrite x so it has parenthesis around it
3( 8-3y) - 5y = -18 ... replace x with 8-3y; solve for y
24-9y - 5y = -18
24-14y = -18
24-14y-24 = -18-24
-14y = -42
-14y/(-14) = -42/(-14)
y = 3

If y = 3, then x is...
x = 8-3y
x = 8-3*3
x = 8-9
x = -1

The x and y values are x = -1 and y = 3
Together they pair up to form the ordered pair (x,y) = (-1,3)

The solution is (-1,3)
If you graph the two original lines, then they cross at (-1,3)

Game consoles: A poll surveyed 341 video gamers, and 89 of them said that they prefer playing games on a console, rather than a
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective is to test if the population proportion of gamers that prefer consoles is less than 28% as the manufacturer claims.

Of 341 surveyed players, 89 said that they prefer using a console.

The sample resulting sample proportion is p'= 89/341= 0.26

If the company claims is true then p<0.28, this will be the alternative hypothesis of the test.

H₀: p ≥ 0.28

H₁: p < 0.28

α: 0.05

To study the population proportion you have to use the approximation of the standard normal Z= \frac{p'-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }≈N(0;1)

Z_{H_0}= \frac{0.26-0.28}{\sqrt{\frac{0.28*0.72}{341} } }= -0.82

This test is one-tailed left, i.e. that you'll reject the null hypothesis to small values of Z, and so is the p-value, you can obtain it looking under the standard normal distribution for the probability of obtaining at most -0.82:

P(Z≤-0.82)= 0.206

Using the p-value approach:

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis

If p-value > α, don't reject the null hypothesis

The decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

Then at a level of 5%, you can conclude that the population proportion of gamers that prefer playing on consoles is at least 28%.

I hope this helps!

How do you solve for x in this problem?
irina [24]

Answer: you will use the cosine rule

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2=11^2+8^2-2(11)(8)xcos(16)

x^2=185-169.18

x^2=15.8

Take square root

x=3.96 or 4

Decrease 800 by 40% and give me the answer
Kobotan [32]
Since we are decreasing by 40%

The new value would be 100% - 40% = 60%  of the value

New value =  60% of 800

                   =  (60 / 100) * 800 = 480

Am giving you 480 as the answer.
