X+y=13
x-y=5
we can addd these 2 equations to eliminate y

2x+0y=18
2x=18
divide both sides by 2
x=9

sub back
x+y=13
9+y=13
minus 9 both sides
y=4

the 2 numbers are 9 and 4

X + y = 13
x - y = 5

x = (13 - y)

(13-y) - y = 5

13 - 2y = 5
-2y = -8
y = 4

x - 4 = 5
x = 9

x=9, y = 4

What is the solution to the equation 2 (4 minus 3 x) + 5 (2 x minus 3) = 20 minus 5 x?
Zielflug [23.3K]

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we would simplify the left hand side of the equation by expanding the brackets

so 2(4-3x) = 8-6x and

5(2x-3) = 10x-15

This gives the left hand side as 8-6x+10x-15. So the overall equation becomes

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

Grouping the unknown values on one side and integers on one side of the equation gives us

8-15-20=6x-10x-5x (note the sign changes when numbers and unknown values are moved to the other side of the = sign

Solving further, -27 = -9x i.e x = -27/-9 = 3

Hence x = 3

Suppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of couples. The 20 pairs of measurements yield x overbarequals100.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

\hat y = -3.34+ 1.07(91) = 94.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

n=20 represent the sampel size

\bar X = 100.39 represent the sample mean for the independent variable (IQ score of the husband)

\bar y = 103.6 represent the sample mean for the dependent variable.

r =0.925 represent the correlation coefficient

Solution to the problem

The general expression for a linear model is given by:

y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x

Where \beta_0 is the intercept and \beta_1 the slope

For this case we have a linear model given by the following expression:

\hat y = -3.34 +1.07 x

Where -3.34 is the intercept and 1.07 the slope. In order to find the best predicted value when X = 91 we just need to replace into the equation the value of 91 and we got this:

\hat y = -3.34+ 1.07(91) = 94.03

On this case is the best predicted value because E(\hat y) = y we have an unbiased estimator.

A roller coaster climbs 110 feet from ground level then drops 65 feet before climbing another 135 feet. How far does the coaster
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The roller coaster starts at ground level.
Start: ground level, 0 ft altitude.
Climbs 110 ft: now it is at 0 ft + 110 ft = 110 ft altitude
Drops 65 ft: now it is at 110 ft - 65 ft = 45 ft altitude
Climbs 135 ft: now it is at 45 ft + 135 ft = 180 ft altitude
Since after the last step it is at 180 ft altitude, for the altitude to go back to 0, you must do 180 ft - 180 ft since 180 ft - 180 ft = 0 ft, ground level. The -180ft (the subtraction of 180 ft) part is a 180 ft drop. Therefore, the roller coaster needs to drop 180 ft to get back to ground level.

In how many ways can 10 people be seated across two tables, each seating five people?
Alex787 [66]
To understand this problem, we need to first break it down. Assuming the tables are round, we can notice that this is a circular arrangement question.

We first need to assign five from a group of 10 people to a table. Since we don't care who appears on that table, we can use the notation:

\text{Arrangements: } ^{10}C_5

However, since they are not distinct tables, then we would have overcounted by a factor of 2!, since there are two tables. Thus, the total number of ways to assign the tables is:

\text{Arrangements: } \frac{^{10}C_5}{2!}

Now, we need to consider the total number of ways to arrange the people in each table. Since they are circular, then each table can be arranged in 4! ways.

\therefore \text{Total arrangements: } \frac{^{10}C_5 \cdot 4!4!}{2!}
\therefore 72576 \text{ arrangements can be made.}
