Its C.

If we substitute x=2 and y=-5 into C we get

2(2) = 4 and 15-11 = 4

2(-5) = -10 and 6(2) - 22 = -10

Hello!

First, let's solve the second equation for y.

2y=6x-22

Divide both sides by 2.

y=3x-11

Now we can plug this into the first equation to solve for x.

2x= -3(3x-11)-11

2x=-9x+33-11

2x=-9x+22

Subtract 9x from both sides.

-11x=22

Divide both sides by -11

x=-2

Now we plug this into the simplified version of the second equation.

y= 3(2)-11

y=6-11

y=-5

Therefore, our answer is D. (-2,-5)

I hope this helps!

Dennis can walk 2.833 miles each hour . About how far can he walk in 3 hours and 15 minutes

Bezzdna [24]

well, let's split the hours in minutes, so since 1 hr is 60 minutes, so he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, well, 3 hrs is 3*60 = 180 minutes, then we add 15 minutes, that's 195 minutes.

if he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, how long will it be for 195 minutes?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 2.833&60\\ x&195 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{60}{195}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{4}{13} \\\\\\ 36.829=4x\implies \cfrac{36.829}{4}=x\implies 9.20725 = x$

Answer:

$\sigma=547.1125$

Step-by-step explanation:

-The margin of error is calculated using the formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\$

-We substitute the values, n=900 and ME=30 in the formula to solve for standard deviation:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\30=1.645\times\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{900}}\\\\\sigma=\frac{30^2}{1.645}\\\\=547.1125$

Hence, the population standard deviation is 547.1125

Pedro is doing math exercises from a software program he recently purchased. In the program, you have to get at least 70% of the

Nookie1986 [14]

The inequality would be
0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)

q is defined as the number of questions he answers after the first one. We are told he gets 75% of those correct; 75%=75/100=0.75. This gives us 0.75q.

Since he gains proficiency on the exercises, the total number he gets correct has to be at least 70%. This means the inequality would have the symbol greater than or equal to, as it cannot be less and have him gain proficiency.

He has already answered 1 question and answers q more; this gives us a total of q+1. Since he gains proficiency, the cutoff was 70%; 70%=70/100=0.70. This gives us the expression 0.70(q+1).

Our total inequality would then be 0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)
