How do you solve the following system of equations by eliminating the y-values? I've already solved it by eliminating the x-valu

es so I know the answer is (-9/2, -10) but I'm having trouble getting that answer by eliminating the y-values.
2x-3y=21\\-6x+2y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the y terms are -3 and 2.  The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6.  So multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3, so that the y terms have a coefficient of 6.

4x − 6y = 42

-18x + 6y = 21

The signs are opposite, so add the equations together.

-14x = 63

x = -9/2

Can two lines be drawn from a point not on a line that will meet the line at a right angle? at a 45° angle? explain each answer.
vichka [17]
I believe the the correct answer would be yes. Two lines can be drawn from a point that is not collinear with a certain line that will meet the line at a right angle or 90 degree angle and at an angle of 45 degrees. We can freely draw any line that would pass through a given point and would cross a given line at any direction giving us different angles and this would include a 90 and 45 degree angle.

An airline finds that 5% of the persons making reservations on a certain flight will not show up for the flight. If the airline
vivado [14]

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The probability that a seat will be available for every person holding a reservation and planning to fly is 0.63307.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sample size =n = 100

The success probability = 5 % = 0.05

Number of tickets sold = 105 tickets

In the case where there the airline has found that 5 % will not show up, then every passenger should have  a seat, we have  

A Binomial distribution is appropriate where there is a chance for a certain number of successful outcomes from a number of independent trails

However n·p and n·q must be ≥ 5 for there to be a normal approximation of a Binomial distribution thus

n·p = 105×0.05 =  5.25 ≥ 5

and n·q = n(1 - p) = 105 (1 - 0.05) = 99.75 ≥ 5

As the requirements are met, we can proceed with the approximation of the Binomial distribution by the normal distribution

 z = \frac{x-np}{\sqrt{np(1-p)}  } = \frac{4.5 - 105*0.05}{\sqrt{105*0.05(1-0.05)} } =  - 0.3358

We therefore have P(x ≥ 5) = P( x > 4.5) = P(z > -0.34) = 1 - P(z < -0.34) = 1 -0.36693 = 0.63307

Another way to solve the question is as follows

p = 0.95 q = 0.05

μ = np = 0.95*105 = 99.75, σ = \sqrt{npq} = 2.233

P (x≤100) = P(z = P(z<0.34) = 0.63307.

The measure of an angle is 8 times the measure of its complement. tina writes an equation and finds the correct measure of each
pogonyaev
One of the unknown angles (let's called it n) has a complement (meaning their sum adds up to 90 degrees) and the other angle is 8 times the unknown angle (8n)

With all this information, you should have the equation:

n + 8n = 90

To solve, combine like terms to get:

9n = 90

Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.

n = 10

Now we plug back in to find our angle measurements. The first angle, n, is 10 degrees. The second angle, 8n, is 8 * 10 which is 80; the second angle is 80 degrees.
