Answer:

y=4, x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

system:

x+y = 12, x=2y

convert to 1 variable, simplify:

2y+y=12

3y=12

y=4

x=2y=4*2=8

Answer:

The system of equations are:

x + y = 12

y = 2x  

Solution

x = 4

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sum of two numbers is 12. The first number, x, is twice the second number,y

Now we have to form the system of equations to find the solution.

The sum of two numbers is 12.

The first number = x

The second number y = 2x.

x + y = 12 ----(1)

y = 2x  --- (2)

These are the system of equations.

Now let's solve them.

Now plug in y = 2x in the first equation.

x + 2x = 12

Simplifying the like terms, we get

3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

x = 4

To find the value of y, that is the second term, we need to plug in x = 4 in the second equation, we get

y = 2*4 = 8

So the first number is 4 and the second number is 8.

Answer:

Cost = 17.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost is 4.88 per pound.

We buy 3.5 pounds

Cost = number of pounds * cost per pound

Cost = 3.5 * 4.88

Cost = 17.08

sasho [114]

Answer:

0.336 or 33.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

It follows from the question that the probability of a complaint is 35% = 35/100 = 0.35. Let's call this probability, p.

The probability of no complaint is mutually exclusive of p since both are complements. Let's call this q. Then

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

The distribution is a binomial distribution.

Events of each call are independent.

The probability of 2 calls with complaint out of 5 is

\binom{5}{2}p^2 \timesq^3=10\times0.35^2\times0.65^3 = 0.336 = 33.6\%

Answer:

  • 28 = -3k + 7

28 - 7 = -3k

21 = -3k

21/-3 = k

k = -7

  • 1/5  x - 17 = 3

x/5 = 3 + 17

x/5 = 20

x = 5*20

x = 100

  • 82 = 7/10 G + 12

82 - 12 = 7G/10

70 = 7G/10

70*10 = 7G

700 = 7G

700/7 = G

G = 100
