Hey!

2x + 4y = 3x + 3y = 13

2x + 4y = 13 ------------ ( 1 )

3x + 3y = 13 -------------- ( 2 )

Now, we will need to eliminate one type of the term , let us eliminate the x terms

Let us multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2

3 ( 2x + 4y ) = 3 ( 13 )

2 ( 3x + 3y ) =  2 ( 13 )

................................................................................................................................................

6x + 12y = 39 ----------------- ( 1 )

6x + 6y =  26 ---------------------- ( 2 )

Now, let us subtract the second equation from the first equation

6x + 12y = 39

-6x - 6y = - 26

.........................................

6y = 13

y = 13 / 6

...........................................

Now substitute the value of ' y ' and we can get the value of ' x '

I will take 3x + 3y = 13

3x + ( 3 ) ( 13 / 6 ) = 13

3x + 13 / 2 = 13

3x = 13 - 13/2

LCM = 2

3x = 26 - 13 / 2

3x = 13 / 2

x = 13/2 / 3

x = 13/2 × 1/3

x = 13/6

Hope my answer helps!

The Scottsdale fire department aims to respond to fire calls in 4 minutes or less, on average. Response times are normally distr
IgorC [24]
<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu \leq4\\\\ H_a: \mu >4

Since the alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.

Also, population standard deviation is given \sigma=1 , so we perform one-tailed z-test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

, where \mu = Population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation

n= sample size

\overline{x} = Sample mean

For n= 18 , \overline{x}=4.50 , \sigma=1 , \mu =4, we have

z=\dfrac{4.5-4}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{18}}}\approx2.12

P-value (for right tailed test): P(z>2.12) = 1-P(z≤ 2.12)  [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]\

=1- 0.0340=0.9660

Decision : Since P-value(0.9660) > Significance level (0.01), it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis.

[We reject null hypothesis if p-value is larger than the significance level . ]

Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01 .

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (4, -7.5) and (6, -3.5) in slope-intercept form?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Your answer will be

y=2x-15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there you must know the slope-intercept form which is

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

You can also use

the slope formula which is

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

in this case

it will look like this

\frac{-7.5-(-3.5)}{6-4}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

So the slope is -2

Now we will find the y-intercept

-7.5=2(4)+b

-7.5=8+b   Subtract 8 both sides

-15.5=b

Your y-intercept is -15.5

Hope this helps
