Solve the equation for y. 8x – 9y = 11

8x-9y=11

First you move the 8x because you have to leave the 9y alone

8x-9y=11
-8x        -8x

-9y=11-8x

Now you have to move the -9, so the inverse of multiplying is dividing so you divide -9.

-9y/-9= 11/-9 -8x/-9

since you can't have negative as a denominator it would be:

y= -11/9+8x/9

Rewrite in simplest terms: -2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d)
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

= 5 ( 12d + 23f )

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d

Open parenthesis

= -10d + 18f + 7f + 90f + 70d

Collect like terms

= -10d + 70d + 18f + 7f + 90f

= 60d + 115f

Factorise

= 5 ( 12d + 23f )

Therefore,

-2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d) in its simplest form is 5 ( 12d + 23f )

A shipment to a warehouse consists of 2,750 MP3 players. The manager chooses a random sample of 50
Juli2301 [7.4K]

MP3 players in the shipment which are likely to be defective is 330.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Probability is event of an occurrence which is uncertain.

• Probability always lies between 0 to 1.

• The sample of 50 MP3 has 6 defective, to solve it has to be converted.

• Convert percentage in 100 multiply numerator and denominator by 2.

• Result is 6/50 converted to 12/100, bring it to 0.12%.

• 12% is defected in 100% of sample.

• It is found here that 2750 is the population and 12% of 2750.

• 2750 * 0.12 = 330, defective pieces in 2750.

• There are three types of Classical,Empirical or Experimental.

• Classical are ‘n’ number of events find the probability occurrence.  

• Empirical or experimental is purely based on events.

A farmer has 500 acres to plant acres of corn, x, and acres of cotton, y. Corn costs $215 per acre to produce, and cotton costs
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The system  that represent the scenario is

x+y\leq500

215x+615y\leq 187,500

The solution in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the acres of corn

y----> the acres of cotton

we know that

x+y\leq500 ------> inequality A

215x+615y\leq 187,500 -----> inequality B

using a graphing tool

the solution is the shaded area in the attached figure

50 Points!
Advocard [28]
Well, 50 points total given, 25 points per user  and 13 bonus for brainliest

anyway


1.
add them equations, the y's will cancel
x+2y=4
<span>3x-2y=4 +</span>
4x+0y=8

4x=8
divide by 4 both sides
x=2
sub back
x+2y=4
2+2y=4
minus 2
2y=2
divide 2
y=1
x=2
y=1
(x,y)
(2,1) is solution


2.
the solution is where they intersect
multiply 2nd equation by 2 and add to first
4x-14y=6
<span>-4x+14y=-6 +</span>
0x+0y=0
0=0
infinite solutions

that is because they are actually the same line
the solutions are (x,y) such that they satisfy -2x+7y=-3 or 4x-14y=6 (same equaiton)
infinite solutions



3.
multiply first equation by 2 and add to first
4x+2y=-6
<span>1x-2y=-4 +</span>
5x+0y=-10

5x=-10
divide by 5 both sides
x=-2
sub bac
x-2y=-4
-2-2y=-4
add 2
-2y=-2
divide by -2
y=1

x=-2
y=1
(x,y)
(-2,1)


4.
coincident means they are the same line
so

we see that we have to multiply 4 by 2 to get 8
multiply top equation by 2
8x+10y=16
8x+By=C
B=10 and C=16


5.
a. false, either 0, 1, or infinity solutions
change the word 'two' to 'one' or 'zero' or 'infinite', or change 'can' into 'can't'

b.false
 'sometimes' to 'always'

c. true

d. false, change 'sometimes' to 'always'


EC
total cost=150
TC=childC+adultC
TC=3c+5a
150=3c+5a


40 tickets, c+a
40=c+a

the equations are
150=3c+5a and
40=c+a

eliminate
multiply 2nd equaton by -3 and ad to first one

150=3c+5a
<span>-120=-3c-3a +</span>
30=0c+2a

30=2a
divide by 2
15=a

sub back
40=c+a
40=c+15
minus 15
25=c

25 children tickets and 15 adult tickets were sold


ANSWERS:

1.
(2,1) is solution

2.
infinite solutions

3.
(-2,1)

4.
B=10 and C=16

5.
a. false,
change the word 'two' to 'one' or 'zero' or 'infinite', or change 'can' into 'can't'

b.false
 'sometimes' to 'always'

c. true

d. false, change 'sometimes' to 'always'

EC
the equations are
150=3c+5a and
40=c+a
