What is the solution to the system of equations?use the linear combination method

Mathematics
1 answer:
galina1969 [7]3 years ago

The 2 equations are 
-2x + y = -17 ---1)
3x + y = 23 ---2)
we need to have the same coefficient for one of the variables.
Already y variable has the coefficient of 1 for both equations so we can use the equations  as it is. 
2) - 1) subtract 1) from 2)
3x-(-2x) + y -y = 23-(-17)
5x = 40
x = 8
substituting x = 8 in the 2nd equation 
3*8 + y = 23
24 + y = 23
y = -1

solution - (8,-1)

The heights in inches of orangutans Are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 3" and an unknown populatio
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: The 95% confidence interval is approximately (55.57, 58.43)

======================================================

Explanation:

At 95% confidence, the z critical value is about z = 1.960 which you find using a table or a calculator.

The sample size is n = 17

The sample mean is xbar = 57

The population standard deviation is sigma = 3

The lower bound of the confidence interval is

L = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n)

L = 57 - 1.960*3/sqrt(17)

L = 55.5738905247863

L = 55.57

The upper bound is

U = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n)

U = 57 + 1.960*3/sqrt(17)

U = 58.4261094752137

U = 58.43

Therefore the confidence interval (L, U) turns into (55.57, 58.43) which is approximate.
