Let’s solve your equation step-by-step.
9( y- 2) - 8y =_16

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

9(y-2)−8 y=−16

(9)(y)+(9)(−2)+−8y=−16

(Distribute)

9y+-18+-8y=-16

(9y+−8y)+(−18)=−16
(Combine like terms)

y + − 18 = − 16

y − 18 = − 16

Step 2: add to both sides

y − 18 + 18 = − 16 + 18

y=2

Answer: y=2

Let X be a set of size 20 and A CX be of size 10. (a) How many sets B are there that satisfy A Ç B Ç X? (b) How many sets B are

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

(a) Number of sets B given that

A⊆B⊆C: 2¹⁰. (That is: A is a subset of B, B is a subset of C. B might be equal to C)
A⊂B⊂C: 2¹⁰ - 2. (That is: A is a proper subset of B, B is a proper subset of C. B≠C)

(b) Number of sets B given that set A and set B are disjoint, and that set B is a subset of set X: 2²⁰ - 2¹⁰.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{20}$ denote the 20 elements of set X.

Let $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{10}$ denote elements of set X that are also part of set A.

For set A to be a subset of set B, each element in set A must also be present in set B. In other words, set B should also contain $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{10}$ .

For set B to be a subset of set C, all elements of set B also need to be in set C. In other words, all the elements of set B should come from $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_{20}$ .

$\begin{array}{c|cccccccc}\text{Members of X} & x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_{10} & x_{11} & \cdots & x_{20}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set A?} & \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{No} & \cdots & \text{No}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set B?}& \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{Maybe} & \cdots & \text{Maybe}\end{array}$ .

For each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus $2^{10} = 1024$ possibilities for set B.

In case the question connected set A and B, and set B and C using the symbol ⊂ (proper subset of) instead of ⊆, A ≠ B and B ≠ C. Two possibilities will need to be eliminated: B contains all ten "maybe" elements or B contains none of the ten "maybe" elements. That leaves $2^{10} -2 = 1024 - 2 = 1022$ possibilities.

Set A and set B are disjoint if none of the elements in set A are also in set B, and none of the elements in set B are in set A.

Start by considering the case when set A and set B are indeed disjoint.

$\begin{array}{c|cccccccc}\text{Members of X} & x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_{10} & x_{11} & \cdots & x_{20}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set A?} & \text{Yes}&\text{Yes}&\cdots &\text{Yes}& \text{No} & \cdots & \text{No}\\[0.5em]\displaystyle\text{Member of}\atop\displaystyle\text{Set B?}& \text{No}&\text{No}&\cdots &\text{No}& \text{Maybe} & \cdots & \text{Maybe}\end{array}$ .

Set B might be an empty set. Once again, for each element that might be in set B, there are two possibilities: either the element is in set B or it is not in set B. There are ten such elements. There are thus $2^{10} = 1024$ possibilities for a set B that is disjoint with set A.

There are 20 elements in X so that's $2^{20} = 1048576$ possibilities for B ⊆ X if there's no restriction on B. However, since B cannot be disjoint with set A, there's only $2^{20} - 2^{10}$ possibilities left.

Find the equation of the line specified.

OLga [1]

The point slope form of a straight line is y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y -(-3) = -7(x-5)

y + 3 = -7(x-5)

y = -7x + 35 - 3

y = -7x + 32

Listed below are amounts (in millions of dollars) collected from parking meters by a security service company and other compan

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

$CV=\frac{0.1252}{1.57}=0.07975$

$CV=\frac{0.1317}{1.72}=0.07657$

The relative variability is almost equal in both samples a slight greater variability can be noticed in the first sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of variation of a sample is defined as the ratio between the mean standard deviation and the sample mean. And it represents the percentage relation of the variation of the data with respect to the average.

$CV=\frac{S}{\bar X}$

In the case of the first sample you have:

$CV=\frac{0.1252}{1.57}=0.07975$

In the case of the second sample you have:

$CV=\frac{0.1317}{1.72}=0.07657$

The relative variability is almost equal in both samples a slight greater variability can be noticed in the first sample.

The vertices of a triangle are A(0,0),B(3,8) and C(9,0). What is the area of this triangle?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle where you know the x and y coordinates of the three vertices, you'll need to use the coordinate geometry formula: area = the absolute value of Ax(By - Cy) + Bx(Cy - Ay) + Cx(Ay - By) divided by 2. Ax and Ay are the x and y coordinates for the vertex of A. The same applies for the x and y notations of the B and C vertices.

Fill in the numbers for each corresponding letter combination within the formula.

Fill in your formula like this: 0(8-10) + 3(0-0) + 9(0-8).

Subtract the numbers within the parentheses.

0 from 8 = 8, 0 from 0 = 0 and 8 from 10 = 2.

Multiply that result by the number to the left of the parentheses.

0 by 8 = 0, 3 by 0 = 0 and 9 by 2 = 18.

Add the three products together.

0 + 0 + 18 = 18

Divide the sum of the three products by 2.

18 ÷ 2 = 9
