Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.

12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =
b =  \frac{8 - 12a  }{2}
b = 4 - 6a

Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.

a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19

a + 20 - 30a = 19

-29a = -1

a = 1/29 (answer)

Now plug a into the equation for b

b= 4 - 6(1/29)

b= 110/29 (answer)

A restaurant manager collected data on the number of customers in a party in the restaurant and the time elapsed until the party
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Option C The parties with a larger number of customers are associated with the longer times elapsed until the party left the restaurant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient 0.78 shows that positive association between two variables number of customers and elapsed time until party left restaurant.

The positive association means that as the number of customers in a party increases the elapsed time also increase. So, we can say that the parties with a larger number of customers are associated with the longer times elapsed until the party left the restaurant.
