Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+8y=12 3x-8y=11

If we have to solve by substitution, Take the first equation and divide by 2

2x/2 + 8y/2 =12/2

x+4y = 6

Then subtract 4y from each side

x = 6 -4y

Then substitute this into the second equation

This is best solved by elimination

2x+8y=12

3x-8y=11

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

5x = 36

x = 36/5

Please help me its about Solving by substitution
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

x=-2 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The substitution is basically given to you. Exchange x from the second equation with y-5

Once that is done and you combine the parentheses you get:

2y-10+y=-1

Add 10 on both sides of the equal sign

You get:

3y=9

Divide both sides by 3

You get:

y=3

To check your work you can substitute y in the second equation with 3 and solve it that way to get x=-2 (x equals negative two)

Suppose you are conducting a study to determine if women are better drivers than men. You send your survey to over 1000 students
julsineya [31]

Answer:

555.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Purpose of the study:  To determine if women are better drivers than men.

Survey or Opinion population:  1,000

You are experimenting on 9 out of a thousand opinions.

5 of these opinions are that women are better drivers

4 of these opinions are that women are not better drivers

You want to know the <em>sample</em> (full sample size is 9) <em>proportion</em> for women as better drivers; using the large sample method. This method is also called the asymptotic method.

This involves approximating the desired statistic, with just a small fraction of the population; in this case, 9/1000.

This approximation will get more and more accurate as sample size increases and you know that a larger sample size gives a better representation and interpretation of the population preference!

So using ratio, the sample proportion for women as the better drivers is given by:

5/9 x 1000   = 555.56 opinions
