-2x + 5y = 8
2x + 2y = 6
----------------add
7y = 14
y = 14/7
y = 2

2x + 2y = 6
2x + 2(2) = 6
2x + 4 = 6
2x = 6 - 4
2x = 2
x = 2/2
x = 1

solution is (1,2)

Add the two equations to eliminate x:
-2x + 5y = 8
+
2x + 2y = 6
=
7y = 14 so y = 2.
Sub y into an equation as 2, so if you take the 2nd equation you get:
2x + (2*2) = 6, so 2x = 2, x=1.

You are paid $82.50 for 7 1/2 hours of work, whats is your rate of pay?

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Rate of Pay is $11 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of $7\frac{1}{2}\:hr$ of work = $ 82.50

To find: Rate of pay

Here Rate of Pay means Cost of 1 hour of work or we can say cost of per hour work.

$7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7\times2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}$

⇒ Cost of $\frac{15}{2}\;hr$ of work = $ 82.50

Cost of 1 hr of work = $\frac{82.50}{\frac{15}{2}}$

= $\frac{82.50\times2}{15}$

= $\frac{165}{15}$

= $ 11

Therefore, Rate of Pay is $11 per hour.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Test statistic = -2.44

There is enough evidence to support the strategist's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : p = 0.41

H1 : p < 0.41

pˆ = 0.38

Test statistic :

z=pˆ−p/√p(1−p)/n

Z = (0.38 - 0.41) / √(0.41(1 - 0.41) / 1600

Z = - 0.03 / √0.0001511875

Z = - 0.03 / 0.0122958

Z = - 2.4399

Test statistic = -2.44

The Pvalue :

P(Z < -2.44) = 0.0073436

α - level = 0.02

If Pvalue < α ; Reject H0

0.0073436 < 0.02 ; We reject H0

Since Pvalue < α ; Hence, There is enough evidence to support the strategist's claim.
