Answer: $x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a System of linear equations, the solution of the system is the point $(x,y)$ in which the lines intersect, where "x" is the x-coordinate and "y" is the y-coordinate.

Having the following System of equations:

$\left \{ {{9x - 6y = 12} \atop {3x + 2y =8}} \right.$

You can use the Elimination method to find the value of "x":

-Multiply the second equation by 3.

- Add the equations.

- Solve for "x".

Then, you get:

$\left \{ {{9x - 6y = 12} \atop {9x +6y =24}} \right.\\.......................\\18x=36\\\\x=\frac{36}{18}\\\\x=2$

On a multiple-choice test. Abby randomly guesses on all seven questions. Each question

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

0.173 probability that she gets exactly three questions correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either she guesses the correct answer, or she does not. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Seven questions:

This means that $n = 7$

Each question has four choices.

Abby guesses, which means that $p = \frac{1}[4} = 0.25$

Find the probability to the nearest thousandth, that Abby gets exactly three questions correct.

This is P(X = 3).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{4} = 0.173$

Which equation has the same soultions as x^2+6×-7=0

blagie [28]

$x^2+6x-7=0 \\ a=1 \\ b= 6 \\ c=-7 \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{\Delta=b^2-4ac}} \\ \\ \Delta=6^2-4*1*(-7) \\ \Delta=36-(-28) \\ \Delta=64 \\ \Delta\ \textgreater \ 0 \Rightarrow \text{we have 2 solutions :} X_1 \ and X_2 \\ \\ \boxed{X_1= \frac{-b- \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} } \Rightarrow X_1= \frac{-6-8}{2}=-7 \\ \\ \boxed{X_2= \frac{-b+ \sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} } \Rightarrow X_2= \frac{-6+8}{2} =1$
