Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 4, y = 5

Discussion:

-2x + 5y = 17 (*)

x + y = 9 (**)

Multiplying (**) by 2 gives

2x + 2y = 18 (***)

Adding (*) and (***) gives

(-2x + 5y) + (2x + 2y) = 17 + 18 =>

(-2x + 2x) + (5y + 2y) =35 => as -2x + 2x = 0 and 5y +2y = 7y

0 + 7y = 35 => divide both sides by 7

y = 35/7 = 5

Substituting y = 5 in (**) gives x + y = 9 or x + 5 = 9 => x = 9-5 = 4

Thank you,

MrB

(4, -2), y = –2x + 3<br><br> PLS HELP HOW DO I DO THIS?

It looks like your instructor wants you to write in point-slope form.

the equation for point slope form is quite simple

y-y1=m(x-x1)

your variables:

y and x: just state these as they are

m: slope

y1 and x1: the numbers in the point given

keep in mind a double negative equals a positive, so when you come across a negative coordinate you would put + instead of - in your equation.

your final answer would be

y+2=-2(x-4)

I hope this helped :)

please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions

A certain firm has plants A, B, and C producing respectively 35%, 15%, and 50% of the total output. The probabilities of a non-d

Sliva [168]

Answer:

There is a 44.12% probability that the defective product came from C.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

-In your problem, we have:

P(A) is the probability of the customer receiving a defective product. For this probability, we have:

$P(A) = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3}$

In which $P_{1}$ is the probability that the defective product was chosen from plant A(we have to consider the probability of plant A being chosen). So:
