We have a system of 2 linear equations with 2 unknown, so we can solve it:
<span> 2x + y = 5
-3x + 2y = 17
We'll use substitution, so lets solve for y in the first equation and substitute that in the second afterwards:
y = 5 - 2x
</span>-3x + 2(5 - 2x) = 17
-3x + 10 - 4x = 17
-7x = 7
x = -1
then substitute in the original equation to find y:
<span>y = 5 - 2x = 5 - 2(-1)
</span>= 5 + 2
y = 7

A=1/2bh. A=200ft. H=10. What is b

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

B= $\frac{2A}{H}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you noticed, A= $\frac{1}{2}$ BH is the formula for finding the area for a triangle. Your goal is to get B by it's self. Your first step will be to clear of the fraction first, so you will multiply both sides by 2. 2(A)=2( $\frac{1}{2}$ BH). On the left, you have 2×A= On the right side, you have 2( $\frac{1}{2}$ BH), but since you have a number in the equation, you will only use 2× $\frac{1}{2}$ . To solve 2× $\frac{1}{2}$ , you will cnacel out both 2's and you have 1. 1×BH will still equal BH, so you are now left will B×H.

(Your new equation looks like this by the way). 2A=BH

Since you need to get B by its self, the way to clear the H away from the B is by dividing. You will now divide the B and H aswell as 2A and H. (It will look like this) $\frac{2A}{H} = \frac{BxH}{H}$ . (Again when you have the same number or letter, you cross it out. When you divide, you won't change anything on the left side, and all you have to do on the right id to cross out the H next to the B and cross out the H on the bottom of the equation). You should be left with $\frac{2A}{H}$ = B. Now you can turn it around for your final answer. B= $\frac{2A}{H}$ .

Please let me know if i helped, how I did, and if you have any questions.

Look at this graph:

Alina [70]

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this graph are (40, 80) and (70, 90). These points can be used to find the slope.
The formula for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Plugging our numbers into the formula:
(80-90)/(40-70) = (-10)/(-30) = 1/3

Complete Question

A researcher posed a null hypothesis that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test. He randomly sampled 40 girls and 40 boys in a community and gave them the standard memory test. The mean score for girls was 68 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. The mean score for boys was 66 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. What is the p-value and your conclusion at alpha 0.05

Answer:

The p-value is $p-value =0.073614$
