Mathematics

-x + 5y = 8

multiply this equation by 3

-3x + 15y = 24

now add it to the other equation  ( elimination)

-3x + 15y = 24

3x + 7y = -2

-----------------------

0x  + 22 y = 22

divide each side by 22

y =1


substitute into -x + 5y =8  to find x

-x + 5(1) = 8

-x + 5 = 8

-x =3

divide by -1

x =-3

Answer (-3,1)

Choice A

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Ben's rate is \dfrac{1}{6} greater than Kate's rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If it takes Ben 2 days to write reports, then his rate is \dfrac{1}{2} of reports per day.

2. If it takes Kate 3 days to write reports, then her rate is \dfrac{1}{3} of reports per day.

For a process, the average range for all samples was 5 and the process average was 25. If the sample size was 10, calculate UCL
alexira [117]

Answer:

8.885

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sample size, n = 10

The average range, Rbar for all samples = 5

The upper control limit, UCL for the R-chart is :

UCL L= D4Rbar

From the control chart constant table, D4 = 1.777

Hence,

UCL = 1.777 * 5

UCL = 8.885

The UCL for the R-chart is 8.885
