Solve using substitution method x-y=11;3x+10y=-6 explain please

1 answer:

6 0

Ok so for starters you want to choose an equation and solve for a variable.
So, I am going to choose x from the first equation.
Add y to both sides and you get x=11+y
Next, substitute 11+y for x in the other equation so you get...
2(11+y) +10y=-6
Next distribute the 2 throug the 11 and the y
22+2y+10y=-6
12y=-28
y=-28/12
reduce this fraction to make this easier.
y=-7/3
Now plug in why to either of the equations to find x
x-(-7/3)=11
x+7/3=11
x=11-(7/3)
x=(33/3)-(7/3)
x=26/3
so x = 26/3 and y = -7/3
you can also check to see if this is correct by substituting each of these values into the equations.

Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.

For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.

The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125

Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:

H/28ft = 1.8125

Now we can solve this for H.

H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft

Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.

On any given day, mail gets delivered by either Alice or Bob. If Alice delivers it, which happens with probability 1/4 , she doe

Answer:

(a) The value of fₓ (9.5) is 0.125.

(b) The value of fₓ (10.5) is 0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote delivery time of the mail delivered by Alice and Y denote delivery time of the mail delivered by Bob.

It i provided that:

$X\sim U(9, 11)\\Y\sim U(10, 12)$

The probability that Alice delivers the mail is, p = 1/4.

The probability that Bob delivers the mail is, q = 3/4.

The probability density function of a Uniform distribution with parameters [a, b] is:

$f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ a, b>0} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.$

The probability density function of the delivery time of Alice is:

$f(X_{A})=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}=\frac{1}{2};\ [a, b]=[9, 11]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.$

The probability density function of the delivery time of Bob is:

$f(X_{B})=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}=\frac{1}{2};\ [a, b]=[10, 12]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.$

(a)

Compute the value of fₓ (9.5) as follows:

For delivery time 9.5, only Alice can do the delivery because Bob delivers the mail in the time interval 10 to 12.

The value of fₓ (9.5) is:

$f_{X}(9.5)=p.f(X_{A})+q.f(X_B})\\=(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2})+(\frac{3}{4}\times0)\\=\frac{1}{8}\\=0.125$

Thus, the value of fₓ (9.5) is 0.125.

(b)

Compute the value of fₓ (10.5) as follows:

For delivery time 10.5, both Alice and Bob can do the delivery because Alice's delivery time is in the interval 9 to 11 and that of Bob's is in the time interval 10 to 12.

The value of fₓ (10.5) is:

$f_{X}(10.5)=p.f(X_{A})+q.f(X_B})\\=(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2})+(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{2})\\=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{8}\\=0.50$

Thus, the value of fₓ (10.5) is 0.50.
