Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
y =  \frac{ -  \frac{1}{2} x + 2}{3}  \\ y =  - x + 9

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
\frac{  - \frac{ 1}{2}x + 2 }{3}  =  - x + 9
Now you can solve the equation:
-  \frac{1}{2} x + 2 = 3( - x + 9) \\   - \frac{ 1}{2}x  + 2 =  - 3x + 27 \\  \\  -  \frac{1}{2} x + 3x = 27 - 2 \\   \frac{5}{2} x = 25 \\ x =  \frac{(25)(2)}{5}  \\ x = 10
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

y =  - (10) + 9 \\ y =  - 1
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1

A PERT project has 45 activities, 19 of which are on the critical path. The estimated time for the critical path is 120 days. Th
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

P ( 108 < X < 120 ) = P ( -2 < Z < 0 ) = 0.4773

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The estimated time for critical path u = 120 days

- The sum of variances along critical path Var = 36

Find:

What is the probability that the project can be completed between days 108 and 120?

Solution:

- The project always takes route of the critical path activities, hecne, we will ignore the activities that are not on critical path.

- We assume that the probability of completion time is normally distributed.

Normal probability distribution has two parameters- average and standard deviation.

- We will assign a random variable X as the number of days to complete activities on critical path. So,

                            X~ N ( 120 , sqrt(36) )

- We need to find the probability, compute the corresponding Z-scores:

      P ( 108 < X < 120 ) = P ( (108 - 120)/ 6 < Z < 0 )

- Use the Z-Tables to look up the required probability:

     P ( -2 < Z < 0 ) = 0.4773

Hence,

      P ( 108 < X < 120 ) = P ( -2 < Z < 0 ) = 0.4773

A crew of highway workers paved 12 mile in 14 hour. If they work at the same rate, how much will they pave in one hour?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

0.857 miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A crew of highway workers paved 12 mile in 14 hour.

We need to find how much will they pave in 1 hour if they work at the same rate.

14 hours = 12 miles

To find how much they pave in 1 hour, we must divide 12 by 14 as follows :

1\ \text{hour}=\dfrac{12}{14}\ \text{miles}\\\\=0.857\ \text{miles}

Hence, they pave 0.857 miles in 1 hour.0.857 miles in 1 hour.

Answer:

c = 5/9 (F-32)

F-32 = c ÷ (5/9)

F-32 = c × (9/5)

F-32= 9c/ 5

F= (9c/5) + 32

I hope I helped you^_^

exis [7]

Answer: 152 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: For each hour a train travels 38 therefore if it drove 2 hours it would drive double the distance and so forth.

38 x 4 = 152 miles.
