Answer:

We can write:

x + y = -2

xy = -80

We can rewrite the first equation as x = -y - 2 and then plug that into the second equation to get (-y-2) * y = -80 → -y² - 2y = -80 → y² + 2y - 80 = 0 → (y - 8)(y + 10) = 0 → y = 8, -10. Substituting these values into the first equation we get x = -10, 8 so the answer is (x₁, y₁) = (-10, 8) or (x₂, y₂) = (8, -10).

(1/2)x +y = 3 (equation 1)
2x +4y = 12 (equation 2)

((1/2)x +y = 3) x4
= 2x +4y = 12

2x +4y = 12
-
2x +4y = 12
= nothing

answer is B infinitely many solutions as the lines are stacked on top of another.

Triangle ABC:

m∠A = x° (m∠A is represented by x°)

m∠B = (4x)° (m∠B is 4 times greater than m∠A, you know m∠A is x°, so it is (4x)°)

m∠C = (5x - 30)° (m∠C is 30° less than five times m∠A, so it is (5x - 30)°)

A triangle is 180°, so the angles in the triangle should add up to 180°

The second option is FALSE, so everything else is true

Burka [1]

Answer:

B. NON-REPRESENTATIVE

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample does not represent the population as a researcher is taking a sample from the hospital where the cholesterol level of the patient is generally high and the researcher is not randomly selecting the U.S. citizens.

Thus, option (B) is correct.

Further, the sample is a subset of the population and it is easy to analyze as compared to the population.

The sample is said to be representative if it represents the whole population.
