X + y = 24

Mathematics

1 answer:

Masja [62]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

(10, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system let's use substitution:

Solve the first equation for x, obtaining x = 24 - y, and then substitute 24 - y for x in the second equation:

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

Combining like terms results in 72 - 100 = -2y, or -28 = -2y

Thus, y must be 14.

If y = 14, then the first equation tells us that x = 10.

Check: Is this true? 3(10) + 5(14) = 100 YES

The solution is (10, 14).

How many solutions does this system have?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There can be 0, 1 or infinitely many solutions. 0 if they are parallel and are different lines, 1 if the slopes are different, and infinitely many if they are the same line.

2x - 4y = 8

x + y = 7

Change to y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x - 2

y = -x + 7

The slopes are different so there is 1 solution.

Hope this helps Please mark as brainliest and have a blessed day

you plant 15 tulip bulbs and 10 of them grow into flowers to bloom. If you plant 21 more re tulips bulbs, predict how many of th

harina [27]

Answer:

14 more flower would bloom if 21 more tulip bulb is planted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio for tulip bulbs and flowers is 15:10.

Now, finding number of flower to bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

Assume if 21 tulip bulbs are planted then number of flower would bloom be"x"

ratio given: $\frac{Tulip\ bulbs}{ Flower} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{21}{x}$

Cross multiplying the ratio to get:

⇒x= $\frac{21\times 10}{15} = \frac{210}{15}$

∴ $x= 14\ flowers$

Hence, 14 flowers would bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

If total tulip bulb is $15+21= 36$ , then $10+14= 24\ flowers$ would bloom.

A. The lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation

Darya [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

mean = 266

sd = 14

cumulative probability = 0.01 so the standard score = -2.33 and 2.33 to the right and left

we find X-upper and X-lower

X-lower = 266-2.33*14 = 233.38

X-upper = 266+2.33*14 = 298.62

Between 233.38 and 298.62

we have sample size = 35

X-lower = 266-2.33*14/√35 = 260.49

X-upper = 266+2.33*14/√35 = 271.5

Between 260.49 and 271.5

b. cumulative probaility = 0.25

standard score = 1.96 to the right and left

x-lower = 6.9-1.96x0.9 = 5.14

x-upper = 6.9+1.96x0.9 = 8.66

Between 5.14 and 8.66

if sample size = 45

x-lower = 6.9-1.96*0.9/√45 = 6.64

x-upper = 6.9+1.96*0.9/√45 = 7.2

Between 6.64 and 7.2

c. standard scores would have cut off value at 0.67 and -0,67

x-lower = 265.3-0.67x15.2 = 255.12

x-upper = 265.3+0.67x15.2 = 275.48

Between 255.12 and 275.48

d. we will have critical values at 1.00 and -1.00

X-lower = 265-1x16 = 249

x-upper = 265+1x16 = 281

Between 249 and 281

with sample size = 44

x-lower = 265-1x16/√44 = 262.59

x-upper = 265+1x16/√44 = 267.41

Between 262.59 and 267.41

Solve the system of equations. 2y+7x=−5 5y−7x=12

3241004551 [841]

We can solve this by substitution method.

Look at the second equation. If we rearrange to find 7x, we can substitute in the value into the first equation.

$5y-7x=12$

$5y-7x-12=0$

$5y-12=7x$

Therefore, $7x=5y-12$

Now replace the 7x in the first equation with 5y - 12:

$2y+7x=-5$ (substitute in 7x = 5y - 12)

$2y+(5y-12)=-5$

$7y-12=-5$

$7y=7$

$y=1$

Now that we know y, we can find x by substituting in y = 1 into any equation we want. I will use the equation: 7x = 5y - 12

$7x=5y-12$ (substitute in y = 1)

$7x=5(1) -12$

$5x=5-12$

$7x=-7$

$x=-1$

$y=1\\x=-1$
