-4x+y=6
-5x-y=21

Solve for one side of either equation. I will use the first equation and solve for y.

-4x+y=6
+4x +4x

Y=4x+6
-5x-y=21

Now when you substitute, make sure to distribute properly including the easily missed negative.

-5x-(4x+6)=21
-5x-4x-6=21
-9x-6=21
-9x=27
X=27/-9

X=-3

Now that you know X, substitute to find Y.

Y=4(-3)+6
Y=-12+6

Y=-6

So your final answer is:
X=-3 Y=-6
(-3,-6)

To make fruit punch for a party, we need 4 1⁄2 gallons of ginger ale, 1 gallon of strawberry juice, 2 3⁄4 gallons of frozen oran

lina2011 [118]

For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:

$4 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 4 + 1} {2} = \frac {9} {2}\\2 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 2 + 3} {4} = \frac {11} {4}$

Now we add the fractions:

$\frac{9} {2}+1+ \frac {11} {4} + \frac {1} {8} =$

We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

$\frac {36 + 8 + 22 + 1} {8} =\\\frac {67} {8} =$

8,375

Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

Answer:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

425 school children were surveyed about what they want to be when they grow up, out of a choice of five professions. The results

hammer [34]

Given:

425 school children

Teacher : 80
Doctor : 105
Lawyer : 70
Police Officer : 70
Firefighter : 100
Total = 425

After applying Pearson's chi-squared test, it is concluded that this data reflects a real difference in the population.

$x^{2} = summation ((O_i - E_i)^2/E_i)$
