Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello

from 4x-y=8 we can say that y = 4x-8

we substitute in the first equation to get

5x + 4 (4x-8) = 10

then

5x + 16 x -32 = 10

<=> 21x = 32+10=42

<=> x = 42/21 = 2

and then y = 8-8=0

don t hesitate if you need any further explanation

thanks

Answer: x = 2, y = 0 or (2 , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving using substitution is where you solve for a variable in one of the two equations in the system then plug it into the other.

For an easier plug in we can take the second equation. 4x-y = 8.

From here we need to isolate the y variable which is easier to isolate than x, in my opinion.

Subtract the 4x over.

-y = 8-4x

Now divide by a -1 so y is positive.

y= -8 + 4x

Now plug this in for y in the other equation.

5x + 4(-8 + 4x) = 10

Distribute the 4.

5x - 32 + 16x = 10

Combine like terms

21x - 32 = 10

Add the 32.

21x = 42

Divide by 21.

x = 2

Now that we have solved for one variable we can plug this into either equation and solve for the other.

I will plug it into the second equation.

4(2) - y = 8

Simplify.

8 - y = 8

Subtract 8.

-y = 0

Divide by -1.

y = 0

So the x and y values are.

x = 2

y = 0

Answer:

the answer would be 5

Step-by-step explanation:

because if there was 15 truth or false questions that would be 45 points and if there where 5 essay questions that would be 55 questions 45+55=100 points and 15+5 questions is 20 questions so there would be 5 essay questions.

The weights of adult male birds of a certain species are normally distributed with a mean of 27.5 grams and a standard deviation

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The z-score of a male bird of this species with a weight of 29.37 grams is 1.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weights of adult male birds of a certain species are normally distributed with a mean of 27.5 grams and a standard deviation of 1.1 grams.

Let X = weights of adult male birds of a certain species

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=27.5,\sigma^{2} =1.1^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{ X-\mu}{\sigma } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean weight = 27.5 grams

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 1.1 grams

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

SO, the z-score of a male bird of this species with a weight of 29.37 grams is given by;

Z score = $\frac{ X-\mu}{\sigma } }$ = $\frac{ 29.37-27.5}{1.1 } }$

= 1.7

Find the area of the rectangle with the given base and height.

Temka [501]

Answer: 3 1/3 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by converting the inches into feet

1 ft = 12 in

4 in/1 x 1 ft/ 12 in = 4/12 ft = 1/3 ft

Now, imagine just multiply like normal for a rectangle:

Area of a rectangle = base x height

Area of rectangle = (10 ft) (1/3 ft)

Area of rectangle = 3 1/3 ft^2

Help please? substitute

ycow [4]

Your answer to number 17 is x=4 because you replace y with 0 and you get 4x-3(0)=16. Then you multiply 3 by 0 to get 0 and get 4x=16 as ur equation. Then you can divide both sides by 4 to get 4 as your x.

Your answer to number 19 is 0 because 3(2x)-6x=0 is also known as 6x-6x=0 which equals 0.
