If you have a problem like:
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2

Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20

You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20

Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12

The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6

So your answers would be
x=2
y=6

Shaun's savings can be modeled by the regression equation y = 6x^2 + 75x+200. Which of the following is the best prediction for

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to predict the amount saved is

$y = 6x ^ 2 + 75x + 200.$

Assuming that the variable x represents the saving months, then substitute $x = 25$ in the quadratic equation and solve for y.

$y = 6 (25) ^ 2 +75 (25) +200\\\\y = \$\ 5,825$

The answer is the option D $5,825

A group of 5 men are meeting for lunch.

Sladkaya [172]

Tile:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

There were total 5 men wearing coats.

5 coats can be returned to 5 men in 5! = 120 ways.

The coats can be returned to the accurate persons only in 1 way.

Hence, the probability that each man gets the correct coat is $\frac{1}{120}$ .

(b)

At the time of returning the first coat, the hostess will have 5 choices and for the second she will have 4 choices.

Hence, in $5\times4 = 20$ ways the hostess can return the 2 coats.

There is only 1 possible case that each of the coats will return to the correct owner.

Hence, the required probability is $\frac{1}{20}$ .
