Solve for x and y -2x-y=-9 5x-2y=-9

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lisa [10]4 years ago

we use equation 1 first.
-2x -y = -9 

 -y = -9 + 2x

y = 9 -2x

We substitute value of y in equation 2

5x - 2 (9 - 2x) = -9

5x -18 - 4x = -9

5x - 4x = -9 + 18

x = 18 -9

x = 9

We now find the value of y

-2x -y = -9

-2 (9) - y = -9

-18 - y = -9

-y = -9 + 18

y = 9 - 18

y = -9

PLEASE HELP!! A classmate wrote the set notation for the values of the domain of a function {−5, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0} as {x | −5 ≤
vfiekz [6]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

The set notation includes all values from -5 to 0, but the domain only includes the integer values

eg: something like -1.2 is in the second set, but it is not in the set {-5,-4,-3,-2,-1}

==========================================================

Further explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices one by one

  • A. This is false because 0 does not come before -5, but instead -5 is listed first. The order -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0 is correct meaning that -5 \le x \le 0 is the correct order as well.
  • B. This is true. A value like x = -1.2 is in the set \left\{x| -5 \le x \le 0\right\} since -1.2 is between -5 and 0; but -1.2 is not in the set {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}. So the distinction is that we're either considering integers only or all real numbers in this interval. To ensure that we only look at integers, the student would have to write \left\{x| x\in\mathbb{Z}, \ -5 \le x \le 0\right\}. The portion x \in \mathbb{Z} means "x is in the set of integers". The Z refers to the German word Zahlen, which translates to "numbers".
  • C. This is false. The student used the correct inequality signs to indicate x is -5 or larger and also 0 or smaller; basically x is between -5 and 0 inclusive of both endpoints. The "or equal to" portions indicate we are keeping the endpoints and not excluding them.
  • D. This is false. Writing -5 \ge x \ge 0 would not make any sense. This is because that compound inequality breaks down into -5 \ge x \ \text{ and } \ x \ge 0. Try to think of a number that is both smaller than -5 AND also larger than 0. It can't be done. No such number exists.

Find a close estimate for square root of 45. (without a calculator) Round your answer two decimal places
dusya [7]
You know that 7*7 is 49, and 6*6 is 36. Now you know it will be 6._. 6*7 is 42, so think of that as 6.5^2. You know that it will most likely be less than 6.8 since it is so close to being 7*7, which is 4 above your desired number. This leaves 6.6 to 6.8 as your estimate. Personally, I would go straight in the middle and choose 6.7. 

I hope this helps!

The distribution of heights of young women aged 18 to 24 is approximately normal with a mean of 64.5 inches and a standard devia
Lena [83]
The 68 - 95 - 99.7 rule, gives the basis to solve this question.

It says that for a normal distribution 95% of the results are between the mean minus 2 standard deviations and the mean plus 2 standard deviations.

Here:
mean = 64.5 inches,
standard deviaton = 2.5 inches

mean - 2 standard deviations = 64.5 inches - 5 inches = 59.5 inches

mean +  2 standard deviations = 64.5 inches + 5 inches = 69.5 inches

Then, the answer is that 95% of women range approximately between 59.5 inches and 69.5 inches.
