Answer:

x=8

y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y=48

3x+y=40

Ther is many ways to solve this, one of them is clearance:

WE CLEAR AN UNLOCKED (X) AND REPLACE IT IN THE OTHER

x= (40-y)/3

2[(40-y)/3] +2y=48

(80-2y)/3 +2y=48

(80-2y+6y)/3=48

80+4y=48(3)

4y=144

y= 144/4

y=16

x=(40-y)/3

x=(40-16)/3

x=24/3

x=8

A university professor asked his class of 42 students when they had studied for his class the previous weekend. There responses

Basile [38]

ANSWERS:

a) 16 students

b) 25 students

c) 2 students

STEP BY STEP:

There are 42 students in total. This question can be solved by "Principal of Inclusion and Exclusion"

Question a)

The students that studied on Sunday in total with overlaps is 30. To figure out the students that ONLY studied on Sunday you need to first minus the overlaps in the combos:

the combos:

3, 10, 6, 2

Since the last combo included all of the other dates, we need to minus it:

1, 8, 4, 2

Now we can use the total of Sunday and minus the combos that includes Sunday:

30 - (4 + 2 + 8) = 16 students

Question b)

To figure out all the students that only studied on ONE day, not 2 not 3, just one day. We need to figure out the students that studied for Saturday and Friday using the same method before for figuring out Sunday:

Friday: 9 - 4 - 1 -2 = 2 students

Saturday: 18 - 1 - 2- 8 = 7 students

and now add them all together: 2 + 7 + 16 = 25 students

That is the total number of students that studied on one day.

Question c)

Now for the numbers of students that didn't study... We can just use the total to minus everything else!

42 - (25 + 1 + 4 + 8 + 2) = 2 students!!!

And thats all done! If you still don't get it, please ask!

Write the equation of a line with a slope of −2 and a y-intercept of 5

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Y or f(x) = -2x+5

the slope goes with the variable (x) and when the value of x is entered it makes a line, and the y-intercept is next to show where the point is on the y - line

A scale reports a 15-pound weight as weighing 12.375 pounds.

Kruka [31]

B. Accuracy is if it's right or not. Precision is how many decimal places it goes out to. So it is precise but not accurate.
