Given:
2x - 3y = -6  ⇒ identified as 1st equation
x + 2y = 8    ⇒ identified as 2nd equation

Let us first get the value of x using the 2nd equation.
x + 2y = 8
x = 8 - 2y

Substitute x in the 1st equation with its value and find the value of y.
2x - 3y = -6
2(8-2y) - 3y = -6
16 - 4y -3y = -6
-4y - 3y = -6 -16
-7y = - 22
y = -22/-7
y = 22/7 simplified to 3 1/7

Substitute the value of y in the 2nd equation.
x = 8 - 2y
x = 8 - 2(22/7)
x = 8 - 44/7
x = (8 * 7/7) - 44/7
x = 56/7 - 44/7
x = (56-44)/7
x = 12/7 simplified to 1 5/7

To check:  x = 12/7 and y = 22/7  *we need to use the improper fractions.
2x - 3y = -6
2(12/7) - 3(22/7) = -6
24/7 - 66/7 = -6
(24-66)/7 = -6
-42/7 = -6
-6 = -6

x + 2y = 8
12/7 + 2(22/7) = 8
12/7 + 44/7 = 8
(12+44)/7 = 8
56/7 = 8
8 = 8

Answer:

F

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets use the process of elimantion to find the answer.

Firs off, we can tell that this is a greater/less than or equal to inequlaity, since there is a inclosed circle, not a open one. So this leaves the top left answer and bottem right answer.

Now, we can see that the graph is from 0-15. X is at 7.

This means its x+8, because the x would be smaller, or possibly even negatibe on this graph.

My theory that can better support my annwer is if we solve for  x:

x+8=15

We can subtract 8 from both sides:

x=7

And as we can see on the inequality, x is at 7 in the graph.

Hope this makes sense and helps!

The battery standby duration (in hours) of a new model of cell phone is known to be normally distributed. Ten pieces of such new
Stells [14]

x = number of hours

want to find probability (P) x >= 13

x is N(14,1) transform to N(0,1) using z = (x - mean) / standard deviation so can look up probability using standard normal probability table.

P(x >= 13) = P( z > (13 - 14)/1) = P(z > -1) = 1 - P(z < -1) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413

To convert that to percentage, multiply 100, to get 84.13%

A) 197 degree<br> B) 261 degree<br> C) 211 degree<br> D) 236 degree
Alik [6]

Answer:

Option D.) 236 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle GFE is half of the central angle. Measure of central angle is congruent to it's intersecting arc, therefore;

<em>2 * ∠GFE = Arc GE (?)</em>

2 * 118 = Arc GE (?)

<u>236 = Arc GE (?)</u>

Hope this helps!
