X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.
Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/12 =0.25
0.25 = 1/4
At least 30 ..................
If you need an equation it is -3.4x=21.5
You simply divide both sides by -3.4 to get x=-6.32
if that's not right then just get on a calculator and calculate by doing what I said to divide
Answer:
0.572
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
We have
n = 1090 of US adults
x = 623 selected from this population at random who consider the occupation to be one of great prestige
So we have that
The probability of X = x/n
= 623/1090
= 0.572
We conclude that 0.572 is the probability that a US adult selected at random thinks the occupation has great prestige.
