(A) In some cases, neither of the two equations in the system will contain a variable with a coefficient of 1, so we must take a

further step to isolate it. Let's say we now have:
3C+4D=5
2C+5D=2
None of these terms has a coefficient of 1. Instead, we'll pick the variable with the smallest coefficient and isolate it. Move the term with the lowest coefficient so that it's alone on one side of its equation, then divide by the coefficient.
(B) Now that you have one of the two variables in Part (A) isolated, use substitution to solve for the two variables. You may want to review the Multiplication and Division of Fractions and Simplifying an Expression Primers..

Answer:

C = 17/7 or 2 3/7

D = -4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

3C+4D=5

2C+5D=2

2C = 2 - 5D

C = 1 - 2.5D

3(1 - 2.5D) + 4D = 5

3 - 7.5D + 4D = 5

-3.5D = 2

D = -4/7

C = 1 - 2.5(-4/7)

C = 1 + 10/7 = 17/7

the bases of a frustum of a cone have radii 1 1/3 and 2. The height of the frustum is 2. What were the dimension of the original
Sedbober [7]

One of the major advantage of the two-condition experiment has to do with interpreting the results of the study. Correct scientific methodology does not often allow an investigator to use previously acquired population data when conducting an experiment. For example, in the illustrative problem involving early speaking in children, we used a population mean value of 13.0 months. How do we really know the mean is 13.0 months? Suppose the figures were collected 3 to 5 years before performing the experiment. How do we know that infants haven’t changed over those years? And what about the conditions under which the population data were collected? Were they the same as in the experiment? Isn’t it possible that the people collecting the population data were not as motivated as the experimenter and, hence, were not as careful in collecting the data? Just how were the data collected? By being on hand at the moment that the child spoke the first word? Quite unlikely. The data probably were collected by asking parents when their children first spoke. How accurate, then, is the population mean?

use elimination to solve. For a production of sweeney Todd in Las Vegas, orchestra seats cost $42 and mezzanine seats cost $25.
lidiya [134]

They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one orchestra seat = $42

Cost of one mezzanine seat = $25

No. of people = 14

Amount spent = $486

Let,

x be the number of orchestra seats

y be the number of mezzanine seats

According to given statement;

x+y=14     Eqn 1

42x+25y=486    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 25;

25(x+y=14)\\25x+25y=350\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2 to eliminate y;

(42x+25y)-(25x+25y)=486-350\\42x+25y-25x-25y=136\\17x=136

Dividing both sides by 17

\frac{17x}{17}=\frac{136}{17}\\x=8

Putting x=8 in Eqn 1

8+y=14\\y=14-8\\y=6

They bought 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.
