To answer this question, you should set up and equation before doing anything else. So for this question you 're going to set up two equations.

The first equation is 2x+5y=33

The second equation is 8x+3y=30

Once you do that you have to solve for either X or Y by canceling out the other one. In this problem figuring out the Y is easier because you can cancel the X's more easily than the Y. To cancel a variable, they have to add up to 0.

So to cancel the X you multiply the equation 2x+5y=33 by -4.

That gives you -8x-20y= -132

Then you set up the two equations and add them together.

(-8x-20y= -132) + (8x+3y=30)

That gives you -17y = -102

So then you solve for Y by dividing by -17. You find out that Y is equal to 6. Then you plug the 6 back into the ORIGINAL equations and solve for X, which turns out to be 1.5

Hope this helped and if you get confused or have questions please ask :)

For the following pair of variables, state the units that might be used to measure each variable. Then state whether you believe
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

There is a positive correlation because women's weight tend to increase when height increases (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The units that might be used to measure each variable are:

Height : meter (m) or foot (plural, feet) (Ft.)

weight : kilograms (kg) or Pounds (lb)

A positive correlation is said to occur between two variables when they both move in the same direction, that is, when they both increase or decrease, while a negative correlation occurs when the movement is not in tandem, i.e, as one increases, the other decreases. The relationship between height and weight is a positive correlation because, an increase in height, which is mainly as a result of elongation of bones, leads to an accumulated increase in total body mass, which in turn increases the body weight.

rita is make chili the recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of tomatoes. How many cups of tomatoes,written as a fraction greater than one
Burka [1]
Given:
2 3/4 cups of tomatoes.

Number of cups of tomatoes written as a fraction greater than one.

2 3/4 is a mixed fraction. It is called such because it is a combination of a whole number and a fraction.

To find the number of cups of tomatoes written as fraction greater than 1, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

Improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator.

2 3/4 ⇒ ((2*4)+3)/4 ⇒ (8+3)/4 ⇒ 11/4

11/4 is a fraction greater than one.

4/4 is a fraction that is equal to one.  So, any numerator that is greater than 4 is a fraction that is greater than one. In this case, it is 11/4.

ky has 3 times more books than grant and grant has 6 fewer books than Jaime if the total combined number of books is 176 how man
sergiy2304 [10]
Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24                        / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200                              / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
