Answer:

  • smaller: -4
  • larger: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the given variables into the word problem, we have two equations:

  3x +3y = -15

  6x -3y = -21

Adding these equations eliminates y:

  9x = -36

  x = -4 . . . . divide by 9

Using this in the first equation, we have ...

  3(-4) +3y = -15

  -4 +y = -5 . . . . . divide by 3

  y = -1 . . . . . . . . . add 4

The smaller number is -4; the larger is -1.

Taylor, Moore, and Jenkins are candidates for public office. It is estimated that Moore and Jenkins have about the same probabil
katrin [286]

Answer:

Taylor = 50%

Moore = 25%

Jenkins = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there are no other candidates and that someone has to win the election, the probabilities of Taylor, Moore, and Jenkins winning the election must add up to 1 or 100%.

T+M+J = 1\\

Since Moore and Jenkins have about the same probability of winning, and Taylor is believed to be twice as likely to win as either of the others:

M=J\\T=2J\\J+J+2J=1\\J=0.25\\M=J=0.25\\T=2*0.25=0.5

Taylor has a probability of 50% of winning the election.

Moore has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

Jenkins has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

What is the solution to the equation 4(3x - 11) + 23 = 5x - 14 ?
Maurinko [17]
Hello there!

4(3x - 11) + 23 = 5x - 14

Apply the distributive property to 4(3x - 11)
4(3x) + 4(-11)
12x - 44

We now have:
12x - 44 + 23 = 5x - 14
Combine like-terms on the left-hand side of the equation.
-44 + 23 = -21

12x - 21 = 5x - 14
Get x on one side by subtracting 5x from both sides..
12x - 5x = 7x
5x - 5x = 0

7x - 21 = -14
Add 21 to both sides to isolate 7x.
-21 + 21 = 0
-14 + 21 = 7

7x = 7
Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x.
7x / 7 = x
7 / 7 = 1

We are now left with the following solution:
x = 1

I hope this helps!
