Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = - 2 → (1)

4x + y = 24 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) gives

- 4x + 6y = 4 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(4x - 4x) + (y + 6y) = (24 + 4), that is

7y = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into either of the 2 equations

Substituting y = 4 into (2)

4x + 4 = 24 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 5

Thus the answers x = 5 and y = 4 are the same as her first method

At a local store, kelly and martin bought some notebooks and pencils. Kelly bought 4 notebooks and 25 pencils for 16.71. Martin

Nat2105 [25]

Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil

Then,

3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5

You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.

3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5

Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:

-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5

So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.

3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5

What is the solution for the determinant?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The value of the determinant of a 2x2 matrix is the product of the top-left and bottom-right terms minus the product of the top-right and bottom-left terms.

The value of the determinant of a 2x2 matrix is the product of the top-left and bottom-right terms minus the product of the top-right and bottom-left terms.

= [ (1)(-3)] - [ (7)(0) ]
= -3 - 0
= -3

Therefore, the determinant is -3.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a. median is 8

b. first quartile is 7

c. third quartile is 9.5

d. below

e. below

Step-by-step explanation:

7, 10, 10, 6, 7, 8, 8, 7, 9.

Place number in order least to greatest

6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10

a. What is the median?

The median is the middle number in a data set

number of terms in data set (n) + 1 / 2 =

9 + 1 / 2 = 10 / 2

6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10

The median is 8

b. What is the first quartile?

Q1 is the central point between the smallest score and the median

6, 7, 7, 7

since there is even number of data points you find the average,

7 + 7 / 2 = 14 / 2 = 7

c. What is the third quartile?

Q3 is the central point between the median and the largest score

8, 9, 10, 10

since there is even number of data points you find the average,

9 + 10 / 2 = 19 / 2 = 9.5

d. Draw a box plot of the data.

below

e. Write two conclusions about the data shown in the box plot.

There are no outliers with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10. The Interquartile Range is 2.5 (9.5 - 7)
