Solve for x and y by substitution 2x+5y=7 -2x+4y=15

I first found x using the second equation :

-2x+4y=15
-2x = -4y+15
x =2y-7.5

Then, I substituted this value into the OTHER equation :

2x+5y=7
2(2y-7.5)+5y=7
4y-15+5y=7
9y=22
y=2.444

So you have you y value. Now, input this value into any one of the other equations (it doesn't matter which) to find x.

-2x+4y=15
-2x+4(2.444)=15
-2x+9.776=15
-2x=5.224
x=-2.612.

So the solution for this system of functions is (-2.612, 2.444).

The mean cost for a pint of frozen yogurt is $1.50, with a standard deviation of $0.10.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

0.01$ (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are from the mean value. The formula for standard deviation is given by:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)}{n} } \\where:\\x = sample\ \\\bar x\ = mean\\n\ = number\ of\ samples\$

Variance is a measure of the squared differences from the mean.

Variance is simply the square of the standard deviation. It is mathematically shown as:

$s^2 = \frac{\sum(x - \bar x)}{n} }$

Now in our example,

Stabnard deviation = $0.10

Variance = (standard deviation)²

Variance = (0.10)²

Variance = $0.01

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. Consider this quadratic equation. x2 + 2x + 7 = 21 The numbe

Zolol [24]

Answer:

(a) 1

(b) 1

(c) 3.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

Subtract 27 from both sides.

Taking out common factor.

Divide both sides by 4.

If an expression is , then we need to add , to make it perfect square.

Here, b=2, so

Add 1 on both sides.

Taking square root on both sides.

Subtract 1 from both sides.

Determine the value(s) of k such that the system of linear equations has the indicated number of solutions. (Enter your answers

Ratling [72]

Answer:

k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations are

$9x+ky=24$

$kx+y=8$

We need to find the value of k if the given system of equation have infinite number of solutions.

If two equations $a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0$ and $a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0$ have infinite number of solutions, then

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}$

Using this we get

$\dfrac{9}{k}=\dfrac{k}{1}=\dfrac{-24}{-8}$

$\dfrac{9}{k}=\dfrac{k}{1}=3$

$\dfrac{k}{1}=3$

$k=3$

Therefore, the value of k is 3.
