First num= x ,second num=y

X+2y=10
2x+y=32

Use equation 1 in equation 2
X=10-2y

2(10-2y)+y=32
20-4y+y=32
-3y = 12
Y= -4

X+2(-4)=10
X=10+8
X=18

Firstnum = 18 , second num= -4

Let first number be x
And the second number be y
Then, x + 2y = 10.
⇒ x = 10- 2y....(1)

Also, 2x + y = 32 ...(2)

From, equation (1) & (2) we get, 
2(10-2y) + y = 32

or 20 - 4y + y  =32
or 20 - 32 = 3y 
or y = 4

Therefore, x = 10- 2y
or x = 10-2*4
or x = 10 - 8
or x = 2
Therefore, the two numbers are 2 & 4

A company that sells annuities must base the annual payout on the probability distribution of the length of life of the particip
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be length of life of the participants in the plan.

Given that X is N(68,3.5)

We convert this to standard normal score z using

z=\frac{x-68}{3.5}

a)  proportion of the plan recipients that would receive payments beyond age 75=P(X\geq 75) = P(Z\geq 2)\\= 0.025

b) proportion of the plan recipients die before they reach the standard retirement age of 65=P(X\leq 65) = P(z\leq -0.86)\\=0.5-0.2764\\=0.2236

c) x for 86% ceased

P(Z

1- find the first term= ?, 90, 540, 3240
Luda [366]

Answer:

1. 15

2. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sequence are geometric progression GP, because they follow a constant multiple (common ratio)

The nth term of a GP is;

Tn = ar^(n-1)

Where;

a = first term

r = common ratio

For the first sequence;

The common ratio r is

r = T3/T2 = 540/90 = 6

r = 6

T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar

T2 = 90 = ar

Substituting the values of r;

90 = a × 6

a = 90/6

a = 15

First term = 15

2. The sam method applies here.

Common ratio r = T3/T2 = 128/32 = 4

r = 4

T2 = ar^(2-1) = ar

T2 = 32 = ar

Substituting the values of r;

32 = a × 4

a = 32/4

a = 8

First term = 8
