Hi there!

To solve this system with substitution, we need to set x equal to [its value] and plug it into the second equation.

x = 2y + 4

2(2y + 4) - 6y = 8
4y + 8 - 6y = 8
-2y + 8 = 8
-2y = 0
y = 0

Now, we plug y into the equation and solve for x.

x = 4

Hope this helps!

1.) x - 2y = 4 , add 2y to both sides. ---> answer is, X = 2y + 4
2.) 2x - 6y = 8, Add 6y to both sides, then divide both sides by 2. --> answer is, X = 3y + 4

Answer:

500 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Assume you need solution as you have the answer</em>

The full time is x
24% of x is 120 minutes

x*24/100 = 120
x *0.24 = 120
x = 120/0.24
x = 500

Answer:

79.95% probability that in a randomsample of 50 motorists, at least 5 will be uninsured.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
