Answer:
The standard for of the equation would be 2x + 3y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, we simply need to solve for the constant.
y + 1 = 2/3(x + 3)
y + 1 = 2/3x + 2
2/3x + y + 1 = 2
2/3x + y = 1
Now we need to multiply all the numbers by the largest denominator. This will make all the numbers integers. In this case, that number would be 3.
2x + 3y = 3
Answer:
(a)

(b)


Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Solving (a): The pmf
This means that we list out the probability of each value of x.
To do this, we simply subtract the current probability value from the next.
So, we have:

The calculation is as follows:





The x values are gotten by considering where the equality sign is in each range.
means 
means 
means 
means 
means 
Solving (b):

This is calculated as:

From the given function


So:



This is calculated as:




General Idea:
(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find
(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem
(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.
(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE
Applying the concept:
Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse
<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

------
<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>

------
<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>

------
<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>

Conclusion:
The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

Answer:
The value of k is 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio
When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)
According to this formula we find the value of k.
k = a/(a+b)
where a = 5
b = 3
Now plug the values in the formula:
k = 5/(5+3)
k = 5/8 ....
