Solve this system using elimination. 3x+4y=5 2x+3y=4 Show work please

1 answer:

5 0

3x+4y=5
2x+3y=

-2(3x+4y)=5(-2)
3(2x+3y)=4(3)

-6x-8y=(-10)
6x+9y=12

Add the equations

-6x-8y=(-10)
+ 6x+9y=12
-----------------
0x+y=2
y=2

Substitue y into an equation

6x+9(2)=12
6x+18=12
6x=-6
x = -1
y = 2

Plz help me thx if u do

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

So, C, and D.. can easily be marked incorrect. This is because in the question it asks, "Atleast 16" This leaves us with answer choice A and B. Answer choice (A), is a closed circle, while answer choice (B) is an open circle.

Closed circles include the number at the end point (less than/greater than/equal to), and open circles do not (less than greater than).

answer choice A. Closed circle, shifting to the right.

At one point in 2011, there were approximately 2.1 billion internet users worldwide. If approximately 9/40 of the users lived in

Rufina [12.5K]

Estimating the number of internet users in Europe by multiplying the ratio with the whole internet users
users in Europe = 9/40 × 2.1 billion
users in Europe = 9/40 × 2,100 million
users in Europe = (9 × 2,100)/40 million
users in Europe = 18,900/40 million
users in Europe = 472.5 million

The number of internet users in Europe is approximately 472.5 million at this time

Suppose that a new scoring system for universities was created which has a scale of 0-100. The scores on this system are normall

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

We need a score of 77.8 or higher in order to stay in the top 10% of universities

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(65,\sqrt{100}=10)$

Where $\mu=65$ and $\sigma=10$ minutes.

And we want the top 10% of universities, so we need a value a such that:

$P(X>a)=0.10$ or $P(X$

We need on the right tail of the distribution a value a that gives to us 90% of the area below and 10% of the area above. Both conditions are equivalent.

Let's use the condition $P(X$ , the best way to solve this problem is using the z score with the following formula:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

So we need a value from the normal standard distribution that accumulates 0.90 of the area on the left and 0.10 on the right. This value on this case is 1.28 and we can founded with the following code in excel:

"=NORM.INV(0.90,0,1)"

If we apply the z score formula to our case we have this:

$P(X$

So then based on the equalities we have this:

$\frac{a-65}{10}=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got:

$a=(10*1.28) +65=77.8$

So then we need a score of 77.8 or higher in order to stay in the top 10% of universities
