Answer: Sample answer : a model is an estimate or approximation of a data set. In the real world, there are too many variables to know exactly what will happen. However, if a model is a good fit, then it can be used to make predictions about what will happen. With a useful model, a predicted value should be a good estimate of an observed value.

Basically meaning that no model can exactly be on point with whatever it is modeling. Two things cannot be EXACTLY identical to what they are referring to, but it is saying that some can get close enough to be useful as an example.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations? Use any method to solve. 4x-y=5, x+y=10
fomenos

Answer:

The ordered pair ( 5, 15)  is a solution to the system of given equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given equations,

4x-y=5 .......(1)

x+y=10  .......(2)

We have to find the ordered pair which is a solution to the system of given equations.

We solve the system by elimination method,

Adding both equation , to eliminate y ,

⇒ 4x - y +( x+y ) = 5+ 10

⇒ 4x - y + x + y = 15

⇒ 5x = 15

⇒ x = 5

Put x = 5 in equation (1) , and solve for y,

We get,

4x - y = 5 ⇒ 4(5) - y = 5 ⇒ y = 20 - 5 ⇒ y = 15

Thus, the ordered pair ( 5, 15)  is a solution to the system of given equations.
