Find the value of x in the solution to the system of equations shown.

To solve this system of equations, the easiest method to use is substitution. Both of our equations are already in terms of y (set equal to y), so we can substitute in the equivalent x values to create an equation with only one variable.


y = 14x - 6

y = -4x + 48


-4x + 48 = 14x - 6


To simplify, we are going to add 4x and add 6 to both sides of the equation to get all of the constant terms on one side of the equation and all of the variable terms on the other. We are also going to simplify by combining like terms.


-4x + 4x + 48 + 6 = 14x + 4x - 6 + 6

48 + 6 = 14x + 4x

54 = 18x


Finally, we must divide both sides of the equation by 18 because division is the inverse operation of multiplication, which allows us to cancel out the coefficient of 18.


54/18 = 18x/18

3 = x


Therefore, your answer is B. x = 3.


Hope this helps!

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(-3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Rewrite the second equation so 3y is on one side of the equation:

3y=6+5x

2.) Substitute the given value of 3y (replacing 3y with 6+5x, since we know they equal each other) into the equation 17x=-60-3y

Should end up with this:

17x=-60-(6+5x)

3.) Solve 17x=-60-(6+5x)

Calculate Difference: 17x=-66-5x

Combine Like Terms: 22x = -66

Divided both sides by 22 to isolate and solve for x: -3

So We know x=-3, now we got to find the y value. We can use either the first or second equation to find y value, so lets use the second.

3y=6+5x

1.) We know that x=-3, so we can simply substitute x in the equation

3y=6+5x with -3

3y=6+5(-3)

2.) Solve 3y=6+5(-3)

Combine Like Term: 3y=6+-15

Combine Like Term Even More: 3y= -9

Divide by 3 on both sides to isolate and solve for y: y=-3

So now we know y=-3 and once again we know x=-3, so if we format that

(-3,-3)

Put the following in order for the most area in the tails of the distribution. ​(a) Standard Normal Distribution ​(b) Student's​
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(b) (c) (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Normal distribution has a higher peak in the center, with more area in this región, hence it has less area in its tails.

Student's​ t-Distribution has a shape similar to the Standard Normal Distribution, with the difference that the shape depends on the degree of freedom. When the degree of freedom is smaller the distribution becomes flatter, so it has more area in its tails.

Student's​ t-Distributionwith 1515 degrees of freedom has mores area in the tails than the Student's​ t-Distribution with 2020 degrees of freedom and the latter has more area than Standard Normal Distribution
