$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-4y=28\\2x+y=2&\text{multiply both sides by 4}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-4y=28\\8x+4y=8\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad9x=36\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=4}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the second equation:}\\\\2(4)+y=2\\8+y=2\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\boxed{y=-6}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{x=4\ and\ y=-6\to(4,\ -6)}$

A class consists of 23 women and 83 mean. If a student is random selected, what is the probability that the student is a woman?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$P(Woman) = \frac{23}{106}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Women = 23$

$Men = 83$

Required

$P(Woman)$

This is calculated as the number of women divided by the population of the class

i.e.

$P(Woman) = \frac{Women}{Women + Men}$

So, we have:

$P(Woman) = \frac{23}{23+83}$

$P(Woman) = \frac{23}{106}$

Forensic specialists can estimate the height of a deceased person from the lengths of the person's bones. These lengths are subs

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur by the equation

$|h - (2.47f + 54.10)| \leq 3.72$

If an adult female measures her femur as 32.25 centimeters, we can determine the possible range of her height by plugging f = 32.25cm into the modelled equation as shown:

$|h - (2.47(32.25) + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (79.9045 + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (134.0045)| \leq 3.72\\$
