Solve systems of equations by algebraically x-2y=7 2x+5y =5

Natali [406]

Answer:

(5,-1) or x=5 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the substitution method to solve this!

1. Pick one of your equations and solve for one of the variables. I chose the first equation and solved for x.

x-2y=7

(Move the -2y to the other side of the equation in order to get the x by itself. You do the opposite, so it becomes +2y.)

x=2y+7

2. Now take your second equation and plug in what you got for x into the x variable.

2(2y+7)+5y=5

(Multiple 2 by everything inside of the parentheses.)

4y+14+5y=5

(We want to get the y by itself, so move the 14 to the other side.)

4y+5y=-14+5

(Combine all the like terms.)

9y=-9

(Divide the 9 from the y. What you do to one side you must do to the other.)

y=-1

3. Since you have one variable solved for. Now take the first equation and plug in your y.

x-2(-1)=7

(Multiple -2 by -1)

x+2=7

(Move the 2 to the other side in order to get the x by itself.)

x=5

4. If needed, plug in your x and y values into the equations in order to check your answer.

Hope this could help!

Suppose that at Northside High, the number of hours per week that seniors spend on homework is approximately Normally distribute

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of means for the 36 students is of 18.6 homework hours per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

For the population, the mean is 18.6. So, by the Central Limit Theorem, the mean of the sampling distribution is also 18.6.

Which statement explains the relationship of sides BA and B'A' after rectangle BADC has been rotated 90° clockwise about the ori

Leni [432]

Answer:

Numbering the options, we have;

1) Side B'A' has a slope of −1 and is perpendicular to side BA.

2) Side B'A' has a slope of 1 and is parallel to side BA.

3) Side B'A' has a slope of 1 and is perpendicular to side BA.

4) Side B'A' has a slope of −1 and is parallel to side BA.

The correct option is;

1) Side B'A' has a slope of -1 and is perpendicular to side BA

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates are;

A(3, 5) B(1, 3), C(5, -1) and D(7, 1)

The slope of BA is found as follows;

$Slope \, of BA= \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\dfrac{3-5}{1-3}= \dfrac{-2}{-2} = 1$

Rotation of a line through 90 degrees gives

(x, y) will be (y, -x)

Therefore, the coordinates of A' = (5, -3)

The coordinates of B' = (3, -1)

Then the slope is given as follows;

$Slope \, of \, B'A' =\dfrac{-1 -(-3)}{3-5}= \dfrac{2}{-2} = -1$

Therefore side B'A' has a slope of -1 and is perpendicular to side BA.
