Answer:

X= - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7−4x=2−9x

7+−4x=2+−9x

−4x+7=−9x+2

Step 2: −4x+7+9x=−9x+2+9x

5x+7=2

Step 3: 5x+7−7=2−7

5x=−5

Step 4: 5x

= −5

x=−1

Solve the system: 2/x - 3/y =-5; 4/x + 6\y =14

sertanlavr [38]

The solution is $x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

Let us assume,

$a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\b = \frac{1}{y}$

Given system of equations are:

$\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{y} = -5$

$\frac{4}{x} + \frac{6}{y} = 14$

Rewrite the equation using "a" and "b"

2a - 3b = -5 ------------ eqn 1

4a + 6b = 14 -------------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 2

2(2a - 3b = -5)

4a - 6b = -10 ------------- eqn 3

Add eqn 2 and eqn 3

4a + 6b = 14

4a - 6b = -10

( - ) --------------------

8a = 4

$a = \frac{4}{8}\\\\a = \frac{1}{2}$

Substitute a = 1/2 in eqn 1

$2(\frac{1}{2}) -3b = -5\\\\1 - 3b = -5\\\\3b = 6\\\\b = 2$

Now let us go back to our assumed values

Substitute a = 1/2 in assumed values

$a = \frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{x}\\\\x = 2$

Substitute b = 2 in assumed value

$b = \frac{1}{y}\\\\2 = \frac{1}{y}\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}$

Thus the solution is $x = 2 \text{ and } y = \frac{1}{2}$

Vidhur is thinking of a three digit number.

antoniya [11.8K]

I think there are 200 numbers as if we do 1000-800 (10-8 as there are only 2 numbers that can be divided by 5 exactly up to 10) that leaves 200 numbers

The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the e

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

(a) The proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is 0.1673.

(b) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.198, 0.260).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of students who read above the eighth grade level.

(a)

A sample of n = 269 students are selected. Of these 269 students, X = 224 students who can read above the eighth grade level.

Compute the proportion of students who can read above the eighth grade level as follows:

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{224}{269}=0.8327$

The proportion of students who can read above the eighth grade level is 0.8327.

Compute the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level as follows:

$1-\hat p=1-0.8327$

$=0.1673$

Thus, the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is 0.1673.

(b)

the information provided is:

n = 709

X = 546

Compute the sample proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level as follows:

$\hat q=1-\hat p$

$=1-\frac{X}{n}$

$=1-\frac{546}{709}$

$=0.2299\\\approx 0.229$

The critical value of z for 95% confidence interval is:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion as follows:

$CI=\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

$=0.229\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.229(1-0.229)}{709}}\\=0.229\pm 0.03136\\=(0.19764, 0.26036)\\\approx (0.198, 0.260)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.198, 0.260).

80,607.202 rounded to the nearest tens place is

postnew [5]

It’s 80,610 if you really mean the tens place.
If you mean the one tenths place then it’s 80,607.2
