Can someone please help me solve this system of equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
sergejj [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=15 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is

8y - x = 1                    ...............(i)

and

10 y = x + 5                 ...............(ii)

Now from equation (ii)

10 y = x + 5

subtracting -5 from both sides

10 y - 5 = x + 5 - 5

10 y -5 = x  

or

x = 10y -5 ............(iii)

Put this in equation (i)

it becomes

8y - (10y -5) = 1

8y-10y+5=1

-2y+5 =1

subtracting 5 from both sides

-2y + 5 -5 = 1 -5

-2y = -4

dividing both sides by -2 gives

-2y / -2  = -4 / -2

y = 2

We got the value of y putting it in equation (iii) to get the value of x

as from equation (iii)

x = 10y-5

x = 10(2) - 5

x = 20 -5

x = 15

So this is the solution from the equations

PLEASE HELP 46 POINTS Use composition of functions to determine whether or not f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other. Show al
IRISSAK [1]

Remark

The reason you are not getting many replies to this is an uncertainty about f(x). We do not know if you mean f(x) = 2/(x - 6) or f(x) = (2/x) - 6. We'll try it both ways.

First Way f(x) = 2/(x - 6)

f(x = y = 2/(x - 6)             Interchange x and y

x = 2 / (y - 6)                   Multiply both sides by y - 6

x(y - 6) = 2                      Divide by x

y - 6 = 2/x                       Add 6 to both sides.

y  = 2/x + 6                     Which is close to g(x) but it is not the same thing, even if you use x as a common denominator. That would give you

\dfrac{6x + 2}{x}

Second Way: f(x) = (2/x) - 6

f(x) = y = (2/x) - 6           Interchange x and y

x = (2/y) - 6                    Add 6 to both sides

x + 6 = 2/y                     Multiply  both sides by y

y(x + 6) = 2                    Divide by sides by (x + 6)

y = 2/(x + 6)  

Comment

These do not look anything alike so g(x) and f(x) are not inverses.

A normal distribution curve, where x = 70 and σ = 15, was created by a teacher using her students’ grades. What information abou
alexira [117]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

We can conclude that 68% of the scores were between 55 and 85; 95% of the scores were between 40 and 100; and 99.7% of the scores were between 25 and 100.

Explanation:

The empirical rule tells us that in a normal curve, 68% of data lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% of data lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% of data lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The mean is 70 and the standard deviation is 15. This means 1 standard deviation below the mean is 70-15 = 55 and one standard deviation above the mean is 70+15 = 85. 68% of data will fall between these two scores.

2 standard deviations below the mean is 70-15(2) = 40 and two standard deviations above the mean is 70+15(2) = 100. 95% of data will fall between these two scores.

3 standard deviations below the mean is 70-15(3) = 25 and three standard deviations above the mean is 70+15(3) = 115. However, a student cannot score above 100%; this means 99.7% of data fall between 25 and 100.
