Answer:

The two numbers are 37.5 and 25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

Let the two numbers be x and y

Equations

x + y = 63

x - y =  12

Solution

Add the two equations. The ys cancel out.

2x = 75               Divide by 2

2x/2 = 75/3         Do the division

x = 37.5

Now use one of the given equations to solve for y

x + y = 63

x = 37.5

37.5 + y = 63                     Subtract 37.5 from both sides

37.5-37.5+y= 63 - 37.5     Collect the like terms on both sides

y = 25.5

Check

x - y =? 12

37.5-25.5 =? 12

12 = 12

What is 7 (1+10p) + 8 (1 + 6p)
Komok [63]

Answer:

58p+15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to get rid of the parentheses in the equation. To do that, let's start with 7(1+10p). We multiply 7 by each item in the parenthesis, and get 7+70p. Keep that little thing in mind, we will use it later. Next, same process with the other part, and we get 8+48p. We multiplied both parts out, so now we just add like terms. 7 and 8 don't have letters, so we add them to get 15. 10p and 48p do have letters, so we add those together and get 58p. We can't add that to the other numbers, because 58p is 58 times p, and 15 doesn't have that p so it wouldn't work without knowing p. What we are left with, by simplifying the problem, is 58p+15, or 15+58p. The order doesn't matter, as long as you have that answer.

Answer:

H0:p1=p2; Ha:p1≠p2, which is a two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our hypotheses as

H0:p1=p2; Ha:p1≠p2, which is a two-tailed test.

Supposing the probability or proportion of the first survey is equal to the probability or proportion of the second survey. This will be the null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses would be that these two proportions or probabilities are unequal.

This is a two tailed test.
