Answer:

x=-9,y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y=-6...(1)

-2x-2y=26...(2)

To solve we will have to eliminate one of the given variables, the variable to be eliminated is x

And it can be done by adding up (1) and (2)

It gives

-5y=20

Divide both sides by-5

y=-4

Then substitute the value of y into (1)

2x-3(-4)=-6

2x+12=-6

Substrate 12 from both sides

2x=-18

Divide both sides by 2

x=-9

Therefore x gives -9 and y gives-4

Andrew needs to print a document that is 180 pages long. How much longer will it take to print the document on a Sure-Fire print

drek231 [11]

If you divide 180 by 12 you will get 15 and if you divide 180 by 15 you will get 12 then subtract both products and i t will give you the answer 3

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.22 degrees Upper F 98.22°F and a standard deviati

Anna35 [415]

Answer: 0.00102%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of $\mu=98^{\circ}F$ and a standard deviation of $s=0.61^{\circ}F$

A hospital uses $100.6^{\circ}F$ as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever.

Let x be the random variable that represents the human body temperatures.

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{s}$

For x= 100.6, $z=\dfrac{100.6-98}{0.61}=4.26229508197\approx4.26$

Using normal distribution table for z-values for right-tailed area ,

P(x>100.6)= $P(Z>4.26)=0.0000102=0.00102\%$

Hence, the required probability = 0.00102%

Explain how 6/12 and 4/8 are equal fractions

bogdanovich [222]

6/12 and 4/8 are equal fractions, as, when simplified, they share a simplified fraction.

Note that what you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator. Find common denominators for both fractions:

(4/8)/(2/2) = 2/4

(6/12)/(3/3) = 2/4

As you can tell, when they share a common denominator (4), the numerators are the same as well (3).
