Answer:

(x, y) = (- 3, - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

5x + 7y = - 29 → (1)

y = x + 1 → (2)

substitute y = x + 1 into (1)

5x + 7(x + 1) = - 29 ( distribute and simplify left side )

5x + 7x + 7 = - 29

12x + 7 = - 29 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

12x = - 36 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = - 3

substitute x = - 3 into (2)

y = - 3 + 1 = - 2

solution is (- 3, - 2 )

After six biology tests, Ruben has a mean score of 74. What score does Ruben need on the next test to raise his average (mean) t

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this question is a question that involves the use of the statistical principles of finding average

let the summation of the six scores of the biology test be represented as ∑x

∴ ∑x÷ 6=74

∑x=74 × 6

=444

444 is the summation of all the scores of all the six biology scores reuben had

the next test would be his 7th

let y represent the score for the 7th test

therefore, $\frac{444 + y}{7}$ = 76

444 + y = (76 × 7)

444 + y = 532

y=88

Reuben needs to score 88 to raise his average to 76

Harry Potter has a large amount of money in his vault at Gringotts. He wants to use some of it to buy his friends new broomstick

lianna [129]

Answer:

Domain is 8 to 15 broomsticks

Range is 1,200 to 2,250 Galleons

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, when we talk of the domain, we are simply referring to the range of values of the number of broomsticks to be bought which is between 8 and 15

When we talk of the range, we are talking of the amount these broomsticks will cost

The cost for 8 broomsticks will be 8 * 150 = 1,200 Galleons

15 broomsticks will cost 15 * 150 = 2,250 Galleons

The range here will thus be 1,200 Galleons to 2,250 Galleons

Students in 10th and 11th grade were asked whether they have a job. The raw data was converted to relative frequencies and recor

Softa [21]

Answer:

a)- Given that a student is a 10th grader, there is a 14% chance he or she has a job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (a) is correct here because Relative frequency means the probability of occurrence or number of time-specific event occurs to the total event.

Option (b) is not correct because We already know that student is in 10th or 11th grade, after that we get to know about 14% chance.

Option (c) & (d) are clearly not possible.
