Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the elimination method, we need the variable we want to eliminate to have the same coefficient number in both equations, but with the opposite sign. Thus, when adding the equations that variable will be eliminated.

The variable x in the first equation is the following:

and the x in the second equation is:

So we must multiply the first equation by -3, so it becomes:

-3y = -3x + 8

and we can see that now, the x's in both equation have the same coefficient number but a different sign (one positive and one negative) which is what we need to apply the elimination method.

-3 as in the first equation x = 1x so multiply it by -3 you’ll get -3x.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

52 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 234 by 4.5, as that is what you must divide 4.5 by to get 1.

234/4.5 = 52 miles per hour.

* The nth term of sequence A is 3n − 2 The nth term of sequence B is 10 − 2n Sally says there is only one number that is in both

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Sally is not right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sequences which have their respective $n^{th}$ terms as following:

Sequence A. $3n - 2$

Sequence B. $10 - 2n$

As per Sally, there exists only one number which is in both the sequences.

To find:

Whether Sally is correct or not.

Solution:

For Sally to be correct, we need to put the $n^{th}$ terms of the respective sequences as equal and let us verify that.

$3n-2=10-2n\\\Rightarrow 3n+2n=10+2\\\Rightarrow 5n=12\\\Rightarrow n = \dfrac{12}{5}$

When we talk about $n^{th}$ terms, $n$ here is a whole number not a fractional number.

But as per the statement as stated by Sally $n$ is a fractional number, only then the two sequences can have a number which is in the both sequences.

Therefore, no number can be in both the sequences A and B.

Hence, Sally is not right.

The distribution of heights of young women aged 18 to 24 is approximately normal with a mean of 64.5 inches and a standard devia

Lena [83]

The 68 - 95 - 99.7 rule, gives the basis to solve this question.

It says that for a normal distribution 95% of the results are between the mean minus 2 standard deviations and the mean plus 2 standard deviations.

Here:
mean = 64.5 inches,
standard deviaton = 2.5 inches

mean - 2 standard deviations = 64.5 inches - 5 inches = 59.5 inches

mean + 2 standard deviations = 64.5 inches + 5 inches = 69.5 inches

Then, the answer is that 95% of women range approximately between 59.5 inches and 69.5 inches.
