Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-17(y-2)=-17y+64\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(-17)(y)+(-17)(-2)=-17y+64\\\\-17y+34=-17y+64\qquad\text{add}\ 17y\ \text{to both sides}\\\\-17y+17y+34=-17y+17y+64\\\\34=64\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\\bold{CONCLUSION:}\ \large\boxed{\text{no solution}}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-17(y - 2) = -17y + 64

-17y + 34 = -17y + 64

-17y + 17y = 64 - 34

0 = 30 (incorrect)

this system has NO SOLUTIONS

A survey asked students whether they have any siblings and pets. the survey data are shown in the relative frequency table.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The likelihood that he or she has a pet given that a student does not have a sibling is:

Option: D ( 60%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that a student does not have a sibling.

Let B denote the event that a students has a pet.

Then A∩B denotes the event that the student does not have a sibling but has a pet.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

Then, we are asked to find:

P(B|A)

We know that:

$P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(A)}$

Also from the table we have:

P(A)=0.25

and P(A∩B)=0.15

Hence,

$P(B|A)=\dfrac{0.15}{0.25}\\\\P(B|A)=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\P(B|A)=0.6$

which in percentage is:

$0.6\times 100=60\%$

Hence, the likelihood is:

60%

Use the law of cosines to solve for the length of side b. Show all of your work for full credit.

BigorU [14]

According to the law of cosines:

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2-2\cdot AB\cdot BC\cdot\cos33^{\circ}$ .

Substituting all the values we know and finding $\cos33^{\circ}\approx0.84$ using a calculator, we have:

$b^2=16^2+11^2-2\cdot 16\cdot 11\cdot 0.84\\\\b^2=256+121-295.68\\\\b^2=81.32\\\\b=\pm \sqrt{81.32} \approx\pm9$

We discard the negative solution clearly.

Answer: b=9 units

The measure of Angle 2 is twelve less than five

hoa [83]

Answer: The measure of Angle 2 = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The measure of Angle 2 is twelve less than five times the measure of Angle 1.

Let the measure of Angle 1 = x

Then, measure of Angle 2 = 5x-12

Since both the angles form linear pair, so their sum = 180° [linear pair of angles must add up to 180°.]

Then, x+ (5x-12) = 180

⇒ x+ 5x-12= 180

⇒ 6x-12= 180

⇒ 6x= 180+12

⇒ 6x= 192

⇒ x= 32 [divide both sides by 6 ]

So, measure of Angle 2 = 5(32)-12 = 160-12 = 148°

Hence, the measure of Angle 2 = 148°
