X + y = 8
x - y = 12
--------------add
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10

x + y = 8
10 + y = 8
y = 8 - 10
y = -2

ur numbers are 10 and -2

let the two numbers be: x y

x + y = 8

x - y = 12

Isolate the x in x + y = 8. Subtract y from both sides

x + y (-y) = 8 (-y)

x = 8 - y

Plug in 8 - y for x in the other equation

x - y = 12

(8 - y) - y = 12

Simplify

8 -2y = 12

Isolate the y. Subtract 8 from both sides, and then divide by -2

8 (-8) - 2y = 12 (-8)

-2y = 4

-2y/-2 = 4/-2

y = -2

Plug in -2 for y in one of the equations

x + y = 8

x + (-2) = 8

Simplify. Isolate the x. Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 (+2) = 8 (+2)

x = 10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x = 10, y = -2 is your answer

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is
Yuri [45]

Answer:

x= 44 ounces y = 66 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution would be an increase to find 80% salt.

Where we use 4/5 = 80 but use here 4/5.

We find 19/20 but just say 95 for solution B =

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 110        y = 110 - x

(70x + 95y) = 4/5 x 110

70x + 95y = 88    

70x + 95 y = 88

70x + 95 (88 - x) = 8800 make units equal or for start convert decimalization = same units as 2nd multiplied value.

70x + 8360 - 88x = 8800

-10x - 8360 - 8800 = y

-10x = 440

x = 44 ounces

y = 110- 44

y =  66 ounces

The Chocolate House specializes in hand-dipped chocolates for special occasions. Three employees do all of the product packaging
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the Chocolate House specializes in hand-dipped chocolates for special occasions. Three employees do all of the product packaging

Clerk          I           II           III    total

   

Pack      0.33          0.23    0.44 1

   

Defective 0.02 0.025    0.015  

   

Pack&def 0.0066 0.00575 0.0066 0.01895

a)  probability that a randomly selected box of chocolates was packed by Clerk 2 and does not contain any defective chocolate

= P(II clerk) -P(II clerk and defective) = 0.23-0.00575=0.22425

b) the probability that a randomly selected box contains defective chocolate=P(I and def)+P(ii and def)+P(iiiand def)

=0.01895

c) Suppose a randomly selected box of chocolates is defective. The probability that it was packaged by Clerk 3

=P(clerk 3 and def)/P(defective)

=\frac{0.0066}{0.01895} \\=0.348285

If f (x) = x² - 7, evaluate the following: f(12) f(-7)
Julli [10]

Answer: f(12) = 137, f(-7) = 42

Step-by-step explanation: In a function, what you want to do is plug in the value they give you for x. This means you substitute x with the value they are looking for.

In this case, they are looking at 12 and -7. Let's do 12 first.

The equation becomes (12^2) - 7. 12^2 is 144, and 144-7 is 137.

Now we do -7. The equation becomes (-7)^2 - 7. -7^2 is 49, and 49 - 7 is 42.

Hope this helped!
