2x+3y=12 and y=x+1.5 in substitution form

Mathematics

Answer:

(1.5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 12 → (1)

y = x + 1.5 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 1. 5 into (1)

2x + 3(x + 1.5) = 12 ← distribute and simplify left side

2x + 3x + 4.5 = 12

5x + 4.5 = 12 ( subtract 4.5 from both sides )

5x = 7.5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 1.5

Substitute x = 1.5 into (2) for corresponding value of y

y = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3

Solution is (1.5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability of getting heads</u>

  • Outcome (head) = 1
  • Total outcomes = 2
  • P (head) = <u>1/2</u>

<u></u>

<u>Probability of getting an odd number</u>

  • Outcome (odd) = {1, 3, 5} = 3
  • Total outcomes = 6
  • P (odd) = 3/6 = <u>1/2</u>

<u></u>

The outcomes are equally likely because the probabiity of each outcome is the same.

dem82 [27]
Basically its 250 + 16x = 210 + 18x where x = the number of hours doing the job.

Solving, we get 40 = 2x, x =20

The jobs has to be 20 hours long in order for their two painting jobs to be equally priced.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 6 costing $1600 each, 4 costing $1200 each, and y costing $900 each, where y is a positive odd integer. what is the greatest possible value of y

Solution:

The median of a group of numbers is the middle number when the group of numbers have been arranged either in ascending of descending other. The median of an even group of numbers is the average of the two most middle most numbers while the median of an odd group of numbers is the middle number.

Since there are 6 computers costing $1600, 4 computers costing $1200 each and y computers costing $900 each. Since y is odd, hence y + 6 + 4 would be odd and the median would be the middle number.

Given that the median price = $1200, this means that the middle of the group of numbers is $1200

900, 900, ..., 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Since y is odd, for the median price to be $1200, y has to be 3 or 5.

If y = 3:

900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

median = $1200

If y = 5:

900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Median = $1200

Therefore the greatest possible value of y is 5
