The easiest way to solve this system of equations is by elimination. Both equations have a 3x term, so we can basically subtract the equations to cancel the 3x. Then we will be left with a single variable to solve for.

(3x + y = -4)
-(3x -4y = 6)

Distribute the negative:

(3x + y = -4)
(-3x + 4y = -6)

Now add the equations together term by term:

0x + 5y = -10

5y = -10

y = -2

Plug y = -2 into either equation to find x.

3x + (-2) = -4

3x = -2

x = -2/3

So the answer as an ordered pair is (-2/3, -2)

A cutting tool fails due to flank wear while machining. It is observed that the tool life at a cutting speed of 160 m/min is 5 m
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The answer is:

30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

at 160 m/min, tool life = 5 min.

at 120 m/min, tool life = 17 min.

This means that as the speed reduced from 160 m/min to 120 m/min, the tool life increased from 5 min. to 17 min, hence the difference between the changes are:

speed = 160 - 120 = 40 m/min

tool life = 17 - 5 = 12 min.

Therefore, it can be concluded that a change of speed of 40 m/min, increases the tool life by 12 min.

40 m/min = 12 min

∴ 1 m/min = 12/40 min.

∴ 100 m/min = 12/40 × 100 = 0.3 × 100 =30 min.

A soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 85% confidence in
andreev551 [17]

Answer: 547

Step-by-step explanation: The margin of error formulae is given below as

Margin of error = critical value ×(σ/√n)

Where σ = standard deviation and n is the sample size.

From our question, margin of error = 0.08

Variance is 1.691,

hence σ = √variance = √1.691

= 1.3.

We will be using a z test for our critical value this is because a soft drink manufacturer will always produce drinks more than 30 in numbers.

The critical value for a 85% confidence interval is 1.44.

Hence critical value is 1.44.

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.08 = 1.44 × 1.3/ √n

0.08 = 1.873/ √n

By cross multiplying

0.08 × √n = 1.873

√n = 1.873/ 0.08

√n = 23.41

n = (23.41)²

n = 547.

Geometry, please answer question ASAP
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle IJK is half the measure of its intercepted arc, so

arc IK = 2 × 75° = 150°

The 3 arcs sum to  360° , then

arc IJ = 360° - (150 + 110)° = 360° - 260° = 100° → A
