Solve the following system using the substitution, elimination, or graphing method for the x coordinate:

Hey there!

To solve this system of equations, you will need to get one of the terms in both equations to cancel out to zero. If there isn't a term that you can cancel out, you can multiply either or both equations to make that term. There's no wrong way to do this, just as long as you make sure that you double check whether your should add or subtract. This is easier shown than explained, so refer below:

 x + y = +1
5x + y = –6

–1(x + y = +1)
5x + y = –6

–x – y = –1
5x + y = –6

You can see that once we combine these equations by adding, the y term will become 0, eliminating it. This is necessary for solving the system, so make sure you do it. Also, remember to distribute the term that you need to to all of the numbers in the equation! After that, just solve for the variable that's still in the equation.

–x – y = –1
+ 5x + y = –6

4x + 0y = –7
4x = –7
x = –1.75

Now, just plug the value we found for x into either one of your equations in the original system as it's presented in your problem.

x + y = 1
–1.75 + y = 1
+1.75 +1.75

y = 2.75

All that's left to do is check your point (–1.75, 2.75). If it's true for both equations, your answer is correct!

–1.75 + 2.75 = 1
5(–1.75) + 2.75 = –6

(–1.75, 2.75) is the solution to your system.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

The amount of protein that an individual must consume is different for every person. There are solid theoretical ideas that sugg

amid [387]

Answer:

The proportion of the population that have a protein requirement less than 0.60 g P • kg-1 • d-1 is 0.239, that is, 239 persons for every 1000, or simply 23.9% of them.

$\\ 0.239 =\frac{239}{1000}\;or\;23.9\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have the following information:

The distribution for protein requirement is normally distributed.
The population mean for protein requirement for adults is $\\ \mu= 0.65 gP*kg^{-1}*d^{-1}$
The population standard deviation is $\\ \sigma =0.07 gP*kg^{-1}*d^{-1}$

We have here that protein requirements in adults is normally distributed with defined parameters. The question is about the proportion of the population that has a requirement less than $\\ x = 0.60 gP*kg^{-1}*d^{-1}$ .

For answering this, we need to calculate a z-score to obtain the probability of the value x in this distribution using a standard normal table available on the Internet or on any statistics book.

<h3>z-score</h3>

A z-score is expressed as

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

For the given parameters, we have:

$\\ z = \frac{0.60 - 0.65}{0.07}$

$\\ z = -0.7142857$

<h3>Determining the probability</h3>

With this value for z at hand, we need to consult a standard normal table to determine what the probability of this value is.

The value for z = -0.7142857 is telling us that the requirement for protein is below the population mean (negative sign indicates this). However, most standard normal tables give a probability that a statistic is less than z and for values greater than the mean (in other words, positive values). To overcome this, we need to take the complement of the probability given for z-score z = 0.7142857, that is, subtract from 1 this probability, which is possible because the normal distribution is symmetrical.

Tables have values for z with two decimal places, then, for z = 0.7142857, we need to rewrite it as z = 0.71. For this value, the standard normal table gives a value of P(z<0.71) = 0.76115.

Therefore, the cumulative probability for values less than x = 0.60 which corresponds to a z-score = -0.7142857 is approximately:

$\\ P(x$

$\\ P(x$ (rounding to three decimal places)

That is, the proportion of the population that have a protein requirement less than 0.60 g P • kg-1 • d-1 is

$\\ 0.239 =\frac{239}{1000}\;or\;23.9\%$

See the graph below. The shaded area is the region that represents the proportion asked in the question.

Solve this system of equations using the elimination method.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

(6, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our system of linear equations is:

6x + 2y = 18

-4x - 2y = -6

When we solve by elimination, we're essentially "eliminating" a variable so that we can solve for other more easily. Here, let's eliminate the y variable by adding the two equations together:

6x + 2y = 18

+ -4x - 2y = -6

____________

2x + 0y = 12

x = 12/2 = 6

Plug this back into one of the original equations to find y:

-4x - 2y = -6

-4 * 6 - 2y = -6

-24 - 2y = -6

-2y = 18

y = -9

The solution is (6, -9).

What is the y-intercept?

Reika [66]

Answer:

(0, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the point when x = 0. By looking at the graph, when x = 0, y = 9. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is (0, 9).
