The correct answer is: [B]: " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
  -4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ; ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;

↔ y - 5x = -5 ; Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
   y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x

   y = -5 + 5x ; ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
     -4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ; and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
         -4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ;
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5) = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So:   -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;

On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;

-4x +10x = 6x ; and rewrite:

6x - 10 = 2 ;

Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:

6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;

to get:

           6x = 12 ; Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

           6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;

                 x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + y = -5 ;

-10 + y = -5 ; ↔
                              y - 10 = -5 ;

Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

         y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;

                   y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation:

-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + 5 =? -5?

-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:

-4x + 2y = 2 ;

-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?

-8 + 10 =? 2 ? Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is:
___________________________________________________________
          x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .
___________________________________________________________

it is claimed that proportion in favor of proportion A is greater than 60%. A sample of size 100 found 69 in favor. what is the

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The alternative hypothesis is $H_1: p > 0.6$ .

The critical value is $Z_c = 1.645$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is claimed that proportion in favor of proportion A is greater than 60%.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of at most 60%, that is:

$H_0: p \leq 0.6$

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is more than 60%, that is:

$H_1: p > 0.6$

What is (are) the critical value?

The critical value is the value of Z with a p-value 1 subtracted by the standard significance level of 0.05, since we are testing if the mean is more than a value, so, looking at the z-table, $Z_c = 1.645$

The value of y varies directly with x. When y=4, x=12. What is the value of y when x is 42

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

y would be 14

Step-by-step explanation:

If y=4 and x=12, that means x is 3 times the amount of y. Therefore, if x is 42, y should be three times less the amount. 42/3 is 14 and that's your correct answer!
