Answer:
(x, y) = (1, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The augmented matrix of coefficients for these equations is ...
![\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}2&-5&7\\-2&4&-6\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Cc%7D2%26-5%267%5C%5C-2%264%26-6%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The row-reduction function of your calculator can find the solution to the system of equations. The result of using that function is ...
![\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&0&1\\0&1&-1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Cc%7D1%260%261%5C%5C0%261%26-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This tells you the solution is (x, y) = (1, -1).
Answer:
about 520,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Following directions, we evaluate the equation by putting the value where the variable is and doing the arithmetic.
__
The value of x will be the number of days between May 26 and May 12. That value is ...
x = 26 -12 = 14
Then the number of mosquitos is estimated to be ...
y = 230,000(1.06^14) ≈ 520,008
About 520,000 mosquitos will inhabit the city on May 26.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Typically, an "estimate" is one or two significant figures. So, 520,000 is a reasonable estimate. 520,008 has more precsision than can be justified.
Step-by-step explanation:
-7/2 = -28
-7 = -28 × 2
-7 = -56
These statistics are impossible: all students who ride bike and use crossing guard ride a bike, so the proportion of students who ride a bike and use the crossing guard must be less than or equal to the proportion of students who ride a bike. This is not true in the given stats; 0.12 > 0.1
The speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.
Let the speed of one bicyclist=x mph
Let the speed of the other bicyclist=(x+3) mph
Hence:
Speed of one bicyclist:
3x+3(x+3)+2=98
3x+3x+9+2=98
6x=87
Divide both side by 6x
x=87/6
x=14.5 mph
Speed of the other bicyclist:
x+3 mph
14.5 mph+3 mph
=17.5 mph
Inconclusion the speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.
