The answer is x= 4 and y= -3

6x-4y=36 -- (1)

2x-8y=32- (2)

from (1)
-4y= 36-6x
y= -9+3/2x 

(3) into (2)
2x-8(-9+3/2x)=32
2x+72-12x=32
72-10x=32
-10x= -40
x= 4

sub x=4 into y= -9+3/2x
y= -9+3/2(4)
y= -3

First, we take one of our equations and solve for one variable in terms of the other.
This is similar to solving a one-variable equation.

6x - 4y = 36
Get one variable on one side.
6x = 36 + 4y
Divide by 6.
x = 6 + 2/3y

Now, we substitute this value for x in our second equation.

2x - 8y = 32
2(6 + 2/3y) - 8y = 32
Distribute the 2...
12 + 4/3y - 8y = 32
Subtract 12 from each side...
4/3y - 8y = 20
Multiply everything by 3 to get rid of that fraction.
4y - 24y = 60
-20y = 60
Divide by -20...
y = -3

Use this value in an earlier equation to find x.

<span>6x − 4y = 36
</span>6x - 4(-3) = 36
6x + 12 = 36
6x = 24
x = 4

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 dollars because

1 pound = 16 ounces

and 1 pound costs 1.5 dollars

if there are 32 ounces of broccoli, you divide the number of ounces by 16 and multiply that by 1.5

32/16 = 2 x 1.5 = 3

How do I solve this?: The times of all 15 year olds who run a certain race are approximately normally distributed with a given m
Effectus [21]
We need to 'standardise' the value of X = 14.4 by first calculating the z-score then look up on the z-table for the p-value (which is the probability)

The formula for z-score:
z = (X-μ) ÷ σ

Where
X = 14.4
μ = the average mean = 18
σ = the standard deviation = 1.2

Substitute these value into the formula

z-score = (14.4 - 18) ÷ 1..2 = -3

We are looking to find P(Z < -3)
The table attached conveniently gives us the value of P(Z < -3)  but if you only have the table that read p-value to the left of positive z, then the trick is to do:
1 - P(Z<3)

From the table
P(Z < -3) = 0.0013

The probability of the runners have times less than 14.4 secs is 0.0013 = 0.13%
