Answer: x = 57/17

y = - 3/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is expressed as

3x + 2y = 9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

x - 5y = 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

From equation 2, we would make x the subject of the formula by adding 5y to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. It becomes

x - 5y + 5y = 4 + 5y

x = 4 + 5y

Substituting x = 4 + 5y into equation 1, it becomes.

3(4 + 5y) + 2y = 9

12 + 15y + 2y = 9

15y + 2y = 9 - 12

-7y = - 3

y = - 3/17

Substituting y = - 3/17 into equation x = 4 + 5y, it becomes

x = 4 + 5 × - 3/17

x = 4 - 15/17

x = (68 - 15)/17

x = 53/17

Darina [25.2K]

Answer: (17.42, 20.78)

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 9

\overline{x}=19.1 years

Population standard deviation is not given , so it follows t-distribution.

Sample standard deviation : s= 1.5 years

Confidence level : 99% or 0.99

Significance level : \alpha= 1-0.99=0.01

Degree of freedom : df= 8  (∵df =n-1)

Critical value : t_c=t_{(\alpha/2,\ df)}=t_{0.005,\ 8}= 3.355

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean would be :-

\overline{x}\pm t_c\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

19.1\pm (3.355)\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{ 9}}\\\\=19.1\pm1.6775\\\\=(19.1-1.6775,\ 19.1+1.6775)\\\\=(17.4225,\ 20.7775)\approx(17.42,\ 20.78)

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (17.42, 20.78) .

The numbers Of students in the four sixth-grade classes at Northside School are 26,19,,34,and 21.Use the properties to find the
Dafna11 [192]
Basically there are 3 addition properties and they are associative property, identity property, and commutative property.

Commutative property is just changing the order of the addends. Example: 26+19+34+21= 21+34+19+26

Identity Property is just adding a 0 to the number that doesnt change anything. Example: 26+19+34+21 +0 = 100

Associative property is just changing the grouping of the addends. Example: (26+19) + (34+21)

I know these properties may be complicated i know inhate them too haha but i hope i helped :) if you want you can search up the distributive property too but its with multiplication and addition combined and its harder but i think these are the 3 main properties.
