Answer:

(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

-3x + 2y = 12

x = 2y - 8

You can 'substitute' the expression '2y - 8' for the value of 'x' in the first equation and solve for 'y':

-3(2y - 8) + 2y = 12

Distribute: -6y + 24 + 2y = 12

Combine like terms: -4y + 24 = 12

Subtract 24 from both sides: -4y + 24 - 24 = 12 - 24 or -4y = -12

Divide both sides by -4: -4y/-4 = -12/-4  or y = 3

Use y = 3 to solve for 'x':

x = 2(3) - 8 or 6 - 8

x = -2

(-2, 3)

"A study conducted at a certain college shows that 56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year
KiRa [710]

Answer:

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating, or they do not. The probability of a student finding a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating is independent of other students. 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.

56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that p = 0.56

Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

This is P(X \geq 1) when n = 6.

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{6} = 0.0073

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0073 = 0.9927

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A=h(b1+b2). Express b1 in terms of A, h, and b2.
lorasvet [3.4K]
In order to find b1 from your formula stated we need to do few calculations
A=hb1+hb2, as you wee I multiply h with both bases( b1 and b2)
I will subtract hb2 from both sides
hb1=A-hb2
now I will divide my new expression by h
b1=(A-hb2)/h
