Set them equal to each other because they are parallel
3x+7=5x-17
Subtract 3x from both sides
7=2x-17
Add 17 on both sides
24=2x
Divide by 2 on both sides
12=x
If sum of numbers (a) +(b) is 1419 and
(a) and (b) are <span>neighbors , whe have:
a + b = 1419 and b-a = 1;
<=> </span>a + b = 1419 and <span>a = b-1 ;
so we have b-1 + b = 1419 <=> 2b = 1420 <=> b=710 and a = 709
Answer: 710 and 709

<span>The value of z is 0.8770. This answer was derived from information in the question, which states that the value of z is 0.8770. Granted, I don't understand what is meant by "cumulative standardized normal distribution." I only passed statistics because the professor felt sorry for me.</span>
To find the product of (4x-5y)^2,
we can rewrite the problem as:
(4x-5y)(4x-5y) (two times because it is squared)
Now, time to use that old method we learned in middle school:
FOIL. (Firsts, Outers, Inners, and Lasts)
FOIL can help us greatly in this scenario.
Let's start by multiplying the 'Firsts' together:
4x * 4x = <em>16x^2</em>
Now, lets to the 'Outers':
4x * -5y = <em>-20xy</em>
Next, we can multiply the 'Inners':
-5y * 4x = <em>-20xy</em>
Finally, let's do the 'Lasts':
-5y * -5y = <em>25y</em>^2
Now, we can take the products of these equations from FOIL and combine like terms. We have: 16x^2, -20xy, -20xy, and 25y^2.
-20xy and -20xy make -40xy.
The final equation (product of (4x-5y)^2) is:
16x^2 - 40xy + 25y^2
Hope I helped! If any of my math is wrong, please report and let me know!
Have a good one.
