3 0

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4-3x)+5(2x-3)=20-5x

8-6x + 10x - 15= 20-5x

subtract 8 from 15

subtract 6x from 10x getting you

4x-7= 20-5x

add 5x to both sides

add 7 to both sides

getting you

9x=27

divide by 9 to both side getting you x=3

Solve the system of equations by transforming a matrix representing the system of equation into reduced row echelon form.
Gekata [30.6K]

Take the augmented matrix,

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&1&-3&-20\\1&2&1&-3\\1&-1&5&19\end{array}\right]

Swap the row 1 and row 2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\2&1&-3&-20\\1&-1&5&19\end{array}\right]

Add -2(row 1) to row 2, and -1(row 1) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&-5&-14\\0&-3&4&22\end{array}\right]

Add -1(row 2) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&-5&-14\\0&0&9&36\end{array}\right]

Multiply through row 3 by 1/9:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&-5&-14\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

Add 5(row 3) to row 2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&0&6\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

Multiply through row 2 by -1/3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&1&0&-2\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

Add -2(row 2) and -1(row 3) to row 1:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&-3\\0&1&0&-2\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

So we have \boxed{x=-3,y=-2,z=4}.

A machining operation produces bearings with diameters that are normally distributed with mean 3.0005 inches and standard deviat
padilas [110]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 rule for the Normal distribution is an empirical rule that remind us the percentages of data that falls between the mean ± 1, ± 2 and ± 3 standard deviations.

That is to say, if the mean is m and the standard deviation s, roughly speaking 68% of the data falls between  [m-s, m+s], 95% between [m-2s, m+2s] and 99.7% between [m-3s, m+3s].

Since the mean is 3.0005 and the standard deviation is s=0.0010, 2s=0.0020, 95% of the data should fall between [3.0005-0.0020, 3.0005+0.0020] and 5% outside this interval. So <em>around 5% of total production will be scrap</em>.

What is the simplified slope for (3,2) and (5,12)
coldgirl [10]
To find Y intercept
You do y2-y1/ x2-x1
Your y2 is 12, y1 is 2
Your x2 is 2 , x1 is 3
So 12-3/2-3
12-3 is 9
2-3=-1
9/-1 is -9
So your slope is -9
