a. The solution is (0,2)

b. The first expression will be easier to substitute as in the first expression the variable y is already isolated on one side of the equation so we can easily put 5x+2 in place of y in equation 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$y = 5x+2\ \ \ \ Eqn1\\12.5x+2.5y = 5\ \ \ \ Eqn2$

a. Solution

Putting y = 5x+2 in equation 2

$12.5x+2.5(5x+2) = 5\\12.5x+12.5x+5 = 5\\25x +5 = 5\\25x = 5-5\\25x = 0\\x = 0$

Putting x = 0 in equation 1

$y = 5(0)+2\\= 0+2 = 2$

Hence,

The solution is (0,2)

b: Reason:

The first expression will be easier to substitute as in the first expression the variable y is already isolated on one side of the equation so we can easily put 5x+2 in place of y in equation 2.

Answer:

Her speed driving in nice weather is 50 mph and in thunderstorm is 32 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Barbara drives 50 miles in clear weather and then encounters a thunderstorm for the last 16 miles.

Suppose, her speed in nice weather is $x$ mph.

As she drives 18 mph slower through the thunderstorm than she does in clear weather, so her speed in thunderstorm will be: $(x-18) mph$

We know that, $Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}$

So, the time of driving in clear weather $=\frac{50}{x}$ hours

and the time of driving in thunderstorm $=\frac{16}{x-18}$ hours.

Given that, the total time for the trip is 1.5 hours. So, the equation will be......

$\frac{50}{x}+ \frac{16}{x-18}=1.5 \\ \\ \frac{50x-900+16x}{x(x-18)}=1.5\\ \\ \frac{66x-900}{x(x-18)}=1.5 \\ \\ 1.5x(x-18)=66x-900\\ \\ 1.5x^2-27x=66x-900\\ \\ 1.5x^2-93x+900=0\\ \\ 1.5(x^2 -62x+600)=0\\ \\ x^2 -62x+600=0\\ \\ (x-50)(x-12)=0$

Using zero-product property.........

$x-50=0\\ x=50\\ \\ and\\ \\ x-12=0\\ x=12$

We need to ignore $x=12$ here, otherwise the speed in thunderstorm will become negative.

So, her speed driving in nice weather is 50 mph and her speed driving in thunderstorm is (50-18) = 32 mph

You intend to draw a random sample in order to test a hypothesis about an unknown population mean. You will use a hypothesis tes

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The correct order is :

1. Determine the null and alternative hypothesis.

2. Select a sample and compute the z - score for the sample mean.

3. Determine the probability at which you will conclude that the sample outcome is very unlikely.

4. Make a decision about the unknown population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of the steps of a hypothesis test is given following

1. Determine the null and alternative hypothesis.

2. Select a sample and compute the z - score for the sample mean.

3. Determine the probability at which you will conclude that the sample outcome is very unlikely.

4. Make a decision about the unknown population.

These steps are performed in the given sequence to test a hypothesis.

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to solve this is to realise that a triangle takes up half the area of a rectangle of the same width and height.

We are told that the width of the triangle is 10, and that the line of length 10 is perpendicular to the longest side of the triangle. Because of that we know that x can be multiplied by ten to get the area of the rectangle that is twice the area of the triangle.

We are also told that the triangle's area is 75 units. With all of that put together, we can say:

$a = (10 * x) / 2\\75 = 5 * x\\x = 15$
