Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y = 16 ------------------(1)
-5x -2y = 2 ------------------(2)
<u>Multiplying (1) by 5 </u>
5(2x+5y) = 16*5
10x+25y = 80 ----------------(3)
<u>Multiplying (2) by 2</u>
2(-5x-2y) = 2*2
-10x - 4y = 4 -----------------(4)
Adding Eq. (3) and (4)
10x + 25y -10x -4y = 80 + 4
25y - 4y = 84
21y = 84
Dividing both sides by 21
y = 4
Now, Putting y = 4 in Eq. (1)
2x + 5(4) = 16
2x + 20 = 16
2x = 20 - 16
2x = 4
Dividing both sides by 2
x = 2
Ordered Pair = (x,y) = (a,b) = (2,4)

= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12
= > x² + ( 4 + 3 )x + 12 = 12
= > x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = 12
= > x( x + 4 ) + 3( x + 4 ) = 12
= > ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 12
Percy did correct till this step. But by doing like this, Percy can't get the values of the variable x.
Percy should follow the following steps :
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12
Add -12 on both sides,
= > x² + 7x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12
= > x² + 7x = 0
= > x( x + 7 ) = 0
= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x + 7 = 0 )
= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x = - 7 )
Hence, required value(s) of x is 0 or -7

Answer:
Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours.
<em>Let X = length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials</em>
So, X ~ N()
The z score probability distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = mean time = 12.56 hours
= standard deviation = 6.7 hours
So, Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is given by = P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = P(X < 15) - P(X 12)
P(X < 15) = P( <
) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058
P(X 12) = P(
) = P(Z
-0.08) = 1 - P(Z < 0.08)
= 1 - 0.53188 = 0.46812
<em>Therefore, P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = 0.64058 - 0.46812 = 0.1725</em>
Hence, probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.
