y = -2x + 9

y = 4x - 3

y is isolated in both equations, thus you may set the expressions (-2x + 9) and (4x - 3) equal to each other and solve for x.

-2x + 9 = 4x - 3

Subtract 9 from both sides.

-2x + 9 - 9 = 4x - 3 - 9

-2x = 4x - 12

Subtract 4x from both sides.

-2x - 4x = 4x - 12 - 4x

-6x = -12

Divide both sides by -6.

-6x/-6 = -12/-6

x = 2

Substitute 2 for x into one of the original equations to find y.

y = 4x - 3 (given)

y = 4(2) - 3 (substitute)

y = 8 - 3 (multiply)

y = 5 (subtract)

Plug x- and y-values into original equations to check work.

5 = -2(2) + 9

5 = - 4 + 9

5 = 5


5 = 4(2) - 3

5 = 8 - 3

5 = 5

Answer:

x = 2 and y = 5; (2, 5).

Set the two equations equal to each other, because both equal y

-2x + 9 = 4x - 3

Isolate the x.

-2x (-4x) + 9 (-9) = 4x (-4x) - 3 (-9)

-2x - 4x = - 3 - 9

-6x = -12

Isolate the x. Divide -6 from both sides

-6x/-6 = -12/-6

x = 2

Place 2 for x in one of the equations

y = 4(2) - 3

Solve

y = 8 - 3

y = 5

x = 2, y = 5 is your answer

hope this helps

A corporation has 11 manufacturing plants. Of these, seven are domestic and four are outside the United States. Each year a perf
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total plants = 11

Domestic plants = 7

Outside the US plants = 4

Suppose X is the number of plants outside the US which are selected for the performance evaluation. We need to compute the probability that at least 1 out of the 4 plants selected are outside the United States i.e. P(X≥1). To compute this, we will use the binomial distribution formula:

P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

where n = total no. of trials

           x = no. of successful trials

           p = probability of success

           q = probability of failure

Here we have n=4, p=4/11 and q=7/11

P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X<1)

          = 1 - P(X=0)

          = 1 - ⁴C₀ * (4/11)⁰ * (7/11)⁴⁻⁰

          = 1 - 0.16399

P(X≥1) = 0.836

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.
