Answer: A multiply the top equation by 6, multiply the bottom equation by -5, then add the equations

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 5y = 7

-7x + 6y = -4

multiply the top equation by 6, the equation becomes;

48x + 30y = 42 ----------(3)

multiply the bottom equation by -5, the equation becomes;

30x - 30y = 20-------(4)

adding equation (3) and (4) together;

+30y - 30y = 0

Therefore the y variable will be eliminated from the equation

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the to equation by 6, multiply the bottom equation by -5 (you will get +30y and -30y to eliminate each other)then add equations (you will have +48x and +45x which will be = -42 + 20)

An assembly line has two inspectors. The probability that the first inspector will miss a defective item is 0.06. If the defecti
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

probability that both passes a defective item is  0.8742‬

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

probability that the first inspector misses is Pr( 1st misses)= 0.06

therefore the probability he does not miss is

Pr(1st passes)= 1 - Pr( 1st misses) = 1 - 0.06 = 0.94

probability that the second misses is Pr( 2nd misses) = 0.07

therefore probability that 2nd does not miss is

Pr( 2nd passes) = 1- Pr( 2nd misses) = 0.93

probability that both passes a defective item is  Pr(1st passes)*Pr( 2nd passes)

= 0.93*0.94 = 0.8742‬

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Should be used 28 pounds of pecans and 32 pounds of chocolate candies

Let

x -----> pounds of pecans used

y ----> pounds of chocolate candies used

we know that

-----> equation A

----->  -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

Using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (28,32)

see the attached figure

therefore

Should be used 28 pounds of pecans and 32 pounds of chocolate candies
