A map has a scale of 4cm. to 12 km. what distance does 16 cm represent

What is 2x+y=12 and 3x-18=y which are linear equations but need to be solved by elimination

Sidana [21]

Answer:

x=6,y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=12

3x-y=18

5x=30

x=6

6(3)-y=18

18-y=18

y=0

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

(A) The odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B) The odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.

A. What are the odds that the taxpayer will be audited?

B. What are the odds against such tax payer being audited?

Solution:

The proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were audited is:

P (A) = 0.015

Then the proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were not audited will be:

P (A') = 1 - P (A)

= 1 - 0.015

= 0.985

(A)

Compute the odds that the taxpayer will be audited as follows:

$\text{Odds of being Audited}=\frac{P(A)}{P(A')}$

$=\frac{0.015}{0.985}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=0.015228\\\\\approx 0.015$

Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B)

Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:

$\text{Odds against Audited}=\frac{P(A')}{P(A)}$

$=\frac{0.985}{0.015}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=65.666667\\\\\approx 65.67$

Thus, the odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.
