Answer:

m=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=11............. (eqn 1)

2x-4y=-24...........(eqn 2)

Subtract eqn 1 from eqn 2

7y=35

y=5

Substitute for y in eqn 1

2x+3(5)=11

2x+15=11

2x=11-15

2x=-4

x=-2

y=mx+3

5=-2m+3

5-3=-2m

2=-2m

m=-1

Answer:Here,

2x+3y=11..........(i)
2x-4y= -24......... (ii)

Subtracting (ii) from (i),we get

2x+3y=11

- 2x+4y=24

7y =35

y=5

Substituting y = 5 in (i) we get

2x+3×5=11

or,2x +15 =11

or,2x = 11- 15

or,x= -2

Now,

We know,y=mx+c

5=m ×(-2) +3

or,2=m×(-2)

or,2/-2 =m

m= -1

An up-and-coming artist has 85 followers on Twitter and this number doubles every week. In what week will the artist first reach

Alik [6]

Answer:

5.8 , which approximately is 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

the first method is the short one since u just have to double the 85 then divide to 1000.

1000 ÷ ( 85 × 2)

1000 ÷ 170 = 5.882,,,,,. round off to whole number to get 6.

the second method is the addition method.

we start by 85 then keep doubling 85 for every week........inshort.......we add 170 to each weeks number to get the number of followers for the following week.

85 ⇒ 170 ⇒ 340 ⇒ 510 ⇒ 680 ⇒ 850 ⇒ 1020.

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th week.

u notice that we add (85×2), 170, to get the following week's number of followers..

in 5 weeks..... the number of followers is yet to get to 1000.

when u divide, u get 5.8.....,and it is not logic to say 5.8823....weeks

since she reaches 1000 followers in the 6th week.......though there is an addition,,,, it is the most appropriate answer.

The number of books borrowed from a library each week follows a normal distribution. When a sample is taken for several weeks, t

Marat540 [252]

$\mathbb P(X>250)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-190}{30}>\dfrac{250-190}{30}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.0228$

Or, if you're familiar with the empirical rule and the basic properties of the normal distribution, you can use the fact that approximately $95/%$ of the distribution lies within two standard deviations of the mean, or

$\mathbb P(|Z|$

which means about $5\%$ of the distribution lies outside this interval, or

$\mathbb P((-22))\approx0.05$

Because the distribution is symmetric, you have

$\mathbb P(-22)$
$\implies \mathbb P((-22))=\mathbb P(-22)=2\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.05$
$\implies \mathbb P(Z>2)\approx 0.025$
