We want to use elimination to solve
y = 0                     (1)
x + y = 40             (2)

Multiply (1) by -1 to eliminate y.
-y = 0                    (3)

Add (2) and (3).
x + y + (-y) = 40 + 0
x = 40

Answer: Multiply by -1.

uysha [10]

Answer:

15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.25 minutes

We standardize the given data.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem)

P( x > 4.25) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{4.25 - 4}{0.25}) = P(z > 1)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 4.25) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587 = 15.87\%

Thus,15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.

The cost of sending an overnight package from Kansas City to Miami is $23.50 for a package weighing up to but not including 1
Dimas [21]

Answer:

For every pound that the package weight increases, the price of sending it increases by $3.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient 3.80 multiplies the variable x (package weight), so if x is 1 pound the cost increase $3.80, if x is 2 pound the cost increase 2*3.80 = $7.6, and so on.  Generally speaking, for every pound that the package weight increases the cost increases by $3.80.
