How to use substitution to solve system of equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you have a System of two equations. You can solve this System using the Substitution Method.

In order to use that method to solve the System of equations, you can follow the steps shown below:

Step 1: You must choose one of the equations of the system and solve for one of the variables. Let's call this new equation "Equation A"

Step 2: Then you must substitute"Equation A" into the other equation.

Step 3: Now you must solve for the other variable in order to find its value.

Step 4: Finally, you need to substitute the value of the variable obtained in the previous step, into the "Equation A" and then evaluate in order to find the value of the other varibale.

(Note: You can also substitute the value of the variable calculated in Step 3 into any original equation and solve for the other variable to find its value).

Solve this system of equations
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

D) x = 4, y = -2, z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 3z − 5

2x + 2z = y + 16

2(3z - 5) + 2z = y + 16

6z - 10 + 2z = y + 16

8z = y + 26 ---> (A)

7x − 5z = 3y + 19

7(3z - 5) - 5z = 3y + 19

21z - 35 - 5z = 3y + 19

16z = 3y + 54 ---> (B)

8z = y + 26

16z = 3y + 54

2(y + 26) = 3y + 54

2y + 52 = 3y + 54

y = -2

8z = -2 + 26

8z = 24

z = 3

x = 3(3) - 5

x = 4

According to the ratio of the age, if Rs. 216 is divided to the girls of age 8, 9 ad 10 yearsHow much money will each get ​
SSSSS [86.1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 8 years: Rs. 64
  • 9 years: Rs. 72
  • 10 years: Rs. 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of ages is 8+9+10 = 27, so each year of age is rewarded by ...

  216/27 = 8 . . . Rs

Then age 8 gets 8(Rs. 8) = Rs. 64

  age 9 gets 9(Rs. 8) = Rs. 72

  age 10 gets 10(Rs. 8) = Rs. 80

The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a simple blood test to screen for prostate cancer. It has been used in men over 50 a
Ugo [173]

The question is incomplete. I am writing the complete question below:

The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a simple blood test to screen for prostate cancer. It has been used in men over 50 as a routine part of a physical exam, with levels above 4 ng/mL indicating possible prostate cancer. The test result is not always correct, sometimes indicating prostate cancer when it is not present and often missing prostate cancer that is present. Suppose that these are the approximate conditional probabilities of a positive (above 4 ng/ml) and negative test result given cancer is present or absent.

                                    Positive Result                 Negative Result

Cancer Present                   0.21                                       0.79

Cancer Absent                    0.06                                      0.94

In a large study of prostate cancer screening, it was found that about 6.6% of the population has prostate cancer.

What is the probability that the test is positive for a randomly chosen person from this population? (Enter your answer to five decimal places.)

P(Positive test) =

Answer:

P(Positive Result) = 0.0699

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 6.6% of the population has prostate cancer. So,

P(Cancer Present) = 0.066

P(Cancer Absent) = 1 - 0.066 = 0.934

From the given conditional probability table, we have:

P(Positive Result | Cancer Present) = 0.21

P(Positive Result | Cancer Absent) = 0.06

We need to find the probability that the result is positive. It can be either that the result is positive and cancer is present or the result is positive and the cancer is absent. So,

P(Positive Result) = P(Positive Result∩Cancer Present) + P(Positive Result∩Cancer Absent)

                             = P(Positive Result | Cancer Present)*P(Cancer Present) + P(Positive Result | Cancer Absent)*P(Cancer Absent)

                             = (0.21)*(0.066) + (0.06)*(0.934)

                             = 0.01386 + 0.05604

P(Positive Result) = 0.0699
