Answer:

x = 20

y = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y = 16 -------eqn 1

2x + y = 28 ----------eqn 2

From eqn 2, let's make y the subject of the formula

2x + y = 28

y = 28 - 2x

Substitute the value of y into eqn 1

2x + 2y = 16

2x + 2(28 - 2x) = 16

2x + 56 - 4x = 16

Collect like terms

2x - 4x = 16 - 56

-2x = -40

- cancels -

2x = 40

Divide both sides by 2 to get the value of x

2x/ 2 = 40/ 2

x = 40/2

x = 20

Substitute the value of x = 20 into eqn 2

2x + y = 28

2 (20) + y = 28

40 + y = 28

y = 28 - 40

y = - 12

Therefore,

x = 20

y = -12

Hint, to prove this values, let's pick eqn 1

2x + 2y = 16

x = 20

y = -12

2 ( 20) + 2(-12)

40 - 24 = 16

So our values are correct

Tan weighs 146 pounds. Minh weighs 15 pounds more than Tan. How much does Minh weigh?
dimaraw [331]

Given parameters:

Weight of Tan  = 146pounds

Unknown:

Weight of Minh = ?

Following this problem step wisely, we can derive a solvable algebraic equation;

  Let the weight of Minh  = M

In the second sentence, we see that Minh weighs 15pounds more than Tan;

    So;

              M  = 15 + Weight of Tan

Since we already know the weight of Tan,

  Weight of Minh  = 15 + 146  = 161pounds

We clearly see that Minh's weight will be 161 pounds.

Navy PilotsThe US Navy requires that fighter pilots have heights between 62 inches and78 inches.(a) Find the percentage of women
Zigmanuir [339]

The first part of the question is missing and it says;

Use these parameters: Men's heights are normally distributed with mean 68.6 in. and standard deviation 2.8 in. Women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in.

Answer:

A) Percentage of women meeting the height requirement = 72.24%

B) Percentage of men meeting the height requirement = 0.875%

C) Corresponding women's height =67.42 inches while corresponding men's height = 72.19 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

For men;

Mean μ = 68.6 in

Standard deviation σ = 2.8 in

For women;

Mean μ = 63.7 in

Standard deviation σ = 2.9 in

Now let's calculate the standardized scores;

The formula is z = (x - μ)/σ

A) For women;

Z = (62 - 63.7)/2.9 = - 0.59

Z = (78 - 63.7)/2.9 = 4.93

The original question cam be framed as;

P(62 < X < 78).

So thus, the probability of only women will take the form of;

P(-0.59 < Z < 4.93) = P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59)

From the normal probability table attached, when we interpolate, we'll arrive at P(Z<4.93) = 0.9999996

And P(Z > - 0.59) = 0.277595

Thus;

P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59) =0.9999996 - 0.277595 = 0.7224

So, percentage of women meeting the height requirement is 72.24%.

B) For men;

Z = (62 - 68.6)/2.8 = -2.36

Z = (78 - 68.6)/2.8 = 3.36

Thus, the probability of only men will take the form of;

P(-2.36 < Z < 3.36) = P(Z<3.36) - P(Z > - 2.36)

From the normal probability table attached, when we interpolate, we'll arrive at P(Z<3.36) = 0.99961

And P(Z > -2.36) = 0.99086

Thus;

P(Z<3.36) - P(Z > -2.36) 0.99961 - 0.99086 = 0.00875

So, percentage of women meeting the height requirement is 72.24%.

B)For women;

Z = (62 - 63.7)/2.9 = - 0.59

Z = (78 - 63.7)/2.9 = 4.93

The original question cam be framed as;

P(62 < X < 78).

So thus, the probability of only women will take the form of;

P(-0.59 < Z < 4.93) = P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59)

From the normal probability table attached, when we interpolate, we'll arrive at P(Z<4.93) = 0.9999996

And P(Z > - 0.59) = 0.277595

Thus;

P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59) =0.9999996 - 0.277595 = 0.00875

So, percentage of women meeting the height requirement is 0.875%

C) Since the height requirements are changed to exclude the tallest 10% of men and the shortest10% of women.

For women;

Let's find the z-value with a right-tail of 10%. From the second table i attached ;

invNorm(0.90) = 1.2816

Thus, the corresponding women's height:: x = (1.2816 x 2.9) + 63.7= 67.42 inches

For men;

We have seen that,

invNorm(0.90) = 1.2816

Thus ;

Thus, the corresponding men's height:: x = (1.2816 x 2.8) + 68.6 = 72.19 inches

How to <br> Swoop the decimal
ddd [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: I don’t really understand what this means, but I think it might. For multiplication of decimals, you would move the decimal point to the left. For division, you’d move the decimal point to the right.

30 POINTS!! Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line.
Anton [14]

Answer:

B. y = -\frac{3}{10}x + \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Well slope-intercept form is y = ax + b.

Let's start with the slope.

In this case, finding the slope is easy.

It should have a negative slope.

So we can cross out answer choices A. and C.

Also, we can cross out D. because it just makes no sense, -10/3, if you start from the y-intercept and go down 10 and across 3, yeah that's

not the slope.

So we can cross out D.

The only answer choice left is B.

We can tell the y-intercept is 1/2 because like come on so B is the correct answer.

B. y = -\frac{3}{10}x + \frac{1}{2}
