Answer:

Occam’s razor theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

This theory is known as Occam’s razor theory.

It's a theory based on the principle whereby we give precedence to simplicity. It states that out of two competing theories, the one with the simpler explanation of an object should be embraced over the other. The reason is that the philosopher William of Ockham said that "objects are not meant to be multiplied beyond absolute necessity.”

This definition resonates with what is explained in the question.

Thus, the theory is as explained.

Four times a number minus twice another number is -16. The sum of the two numbers is -1. Find the numbers
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

2 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y ∴ 4x -2y =-16......................Eqn 1

and x+y=-1.................................Eqn 2

this ⇒x=-1-y. Substitute the value of x to be=-1 -y and putting in Eqn 1 yields the following 4(-1-y)-2y =-16 0r -4-4y-2y=-16

⇒-4-6y=-16 0r =-6y=-12 ∴y is 2

⇒ and x is -3

Find the slope of the line passing through the points <br> , −8−3<br> and <br> , −34<br> .
alukav5142 [94]

Slope of the line passing through two points <span><span>P=<span>(<span><span>x1</span>,<span>y1</span></span>) </span></span></span>and <span><span>Q=<span>(<span><span>x2</span>,<span>y2</span></span>)</span></span></span> is given by <span><span>m=<span><span><span>y2</span>−<span>y1/</span></span><span><span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span></span></span></span></span>.

We have that <span><span><span>x1</span>=−8</span></span>, <span><span><span>y1</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>x2</span>=−3</span></span>, <span><span><span>y2</span>=4</span></span>.

Plug given values into formula for slope: <span><span>m=<span><span><span>(4)</span>−<span>(<span>−3</span>)/</span></span><span><span>(<span>−3</span>)</span>−<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>7/5</span></span></span>.

Now y-intercept is <span><span>b=<span>y1</span>−m⋅<span>x1</span></span></span> .

<span><span>b=−3−<span>(<span>7/5</span>)</span>⋅<span>(<span>−8</span>)</span>=<span>41/5.</span></span></span>

Finally, equation of the line can be written in the form <span><span>y=mx+b</span></span>.

<span><span>y=<span>7/5</span>x+<span>41/5</span></span></span>

Find the median<br> 45. 28 37 30 42 44 35 40
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The median means the number in the middle, I look at the word median and think mid! So by ordering the numbers from highest to lowest you cross one off from each end back and forth! So you cross off 45, then 28, 44 then 30, 42 then 35 leaving one last number 40!! That is your median :)
