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

Mathematics

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)

Blababa [14]
Length= 2*width

area=l*w=2*width*width=2*width^2
area+160=(2*width+1)*(width+1)
A+160=2w^2+2w+w+1
A+160=2w^2+3w+1
putting value of a
2w^2+160=2w^2+3w+1
160=3w+1

What is the significance of the mean of a probability​ distribution?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Significance of the mean of a probability​ distribution.          

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The mean of a probability distribution is the arithmetic average value of a random variable having that distribution.
  • For a discrete probability distribution, the mean is given by, \sum x_iP(x_i), where P(x) is the probabiliy mass function.
  • For a continuous probability distribution, the mean s given by, E(x) = \int x_if(x_i), where f(x) is the probability density function.
  • Mean is a measure of central location of a random variable.
  • It is the weighted average of the values that X can take, with weights given by the probability density function.
  • The mean is known as  expected value or expectation of X.
  • An important consequence of this is that the mean of any symmetric random variable (continuous or discrete) is always on the axis of symmetry of the distribution.
  • For a continuous random variable, the mean is always on the axis of symmetry of the probability density function.
