GaryK [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: x = 7, y = -3, z = 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

EQ 1:    3x + 4y - z      =        8     <em>solve for z</em>

            <u>             +z  -8 </u>    <u>+z - 8 </u>

            3x + 4y - 8      =  z

EQ 3:   5x + y - 2z = 30      <em>substitute 3x + 4y - 8 for z and solve for x</em>

           5x + y - 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 30

           5x + y  - 6x - 8y + 16 = 30

                          -x - 7y + 16 = 30

                         <u>              -16 </u>  <u>-16 </u>

                         -x - 7y         = 14

                       <u>       +7y       </u>    <u>+7y  </u>  

                        -x                = 7y + 14

                         x                = -7y - 14

EQ 2:   x - 5y + 2z = 24    <em>substitute 3x+4y - 8 for z and -7y - 14 for x</em>

           (-7y - 14) - 5y + 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 24

             -7y - 14 - 5y + 6(-7y - 14) + 8y - 16 = 24

             -7y - 14 - 5y  - 42y - 84 + 8y - 16 = 24

                           -46y - 114 =  24

                            <u>        +114 </u>  <u>+114 </u>

                               -46y      = 138

                              <u>÷-46       </u>  <u>÷-46 </u>

                                     y    =  -3

x = -7y - 14

  = -7(-3) - 14

  = 21 - 14

  = 7

z = 3x + 4y - 8

  = 3(7) + 4(-3) - 8

  = 21 - 12 - 8

  = 1

Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ.
o-na [289]

Answer:

PT = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since T is the midpoint of PQ, then

PT = TQ , substitute values

4x + 5 = 8x - 7 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5 = 4x - 7 ( add 7 to both sides )

12 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = x

Thus

PT = 4x + 5 = 4(3) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

Excursion boat on the river takes 2 1/2 hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles upstream and to return if the rate at which t
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Let the current speed be "c";

Then the boat speed in still wate is "5c":

-----------------------

Upstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c-c = 4c mph ; time = 12/4c = 3/c hrs

---------------------------

Downstream speed:

distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c+c = 6c mph ; time = 12/6c = 2/c hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

time + time = 2 1/2 hrs

3/c + 2/c = 5/2

Multiply thru by 2c to get:

6 + 4 = 5c

c = 2 mph (speed of the current)

5c = 10 mph (speed of the boat in still water)

Fishermen fishing for spiny lobster are allowed to keep only lobsters with a carapace length of 3.25 inches or longer. (Than car
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start by solving for the z score

We have the following information

x = 3.25

Standard deviation = sd = 2.25

Mean = 5.50

Z = (x - mean)/sd

z = 3.25 - 5.50/2 25

z = -1.00

If we look this up in the standard normal distribution table,

P(z<-1.00) = 0.1587

Which when approximated gives us

16%

Therefore approximately 16% of lobsters will have to be returned back to the sea.
