Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x=0, \ \ y=-5 \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

We have two equations:

(1) -2x - 4y = 20

(2) -3x + 5y = -25

5*(1)+4*(2) gives

   -10x - 20y -12x + 20y = 100 - 100 = 0

   -22x = 0

   x = 0

I replace in (1)

   -4y = 20

   y = -20/4 = -5

There is one solution x = 0, y = -5

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Use the confidence interval to find the margin of error and the sample mean (0.118,0.220)
malfutka [58]

Answer:

μ = 0.169

ME = 0.051

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is:

CI = μ ± ME

So the mean is the middle of the confidence interval, and the margin of error is half the difference.

μ = (0.118 + 0.220) / 2 = 0.169

ME = (0.220 − 0.118) / 2 = 0.051
