5 0

Answer: x = - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

−12x−60=144

add 60 to both sides

-12x-60+60=144+60

simplify

-12x=204

divide both sides by -12

-12/-12 = 204/-12

simplify and ur Answer!! is x=-17

What is the solution of the system of equations? -y+3x=6 y=-6x+12
irinina [24]

Answer:

x = 2

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using substitution, substitute y in the first equation with the second equation:

-(-6x + 12) + 3x = 6

Distribute the negative sign:

6x - 12 + 3x = 6

Combine like terms:

9x - 12 = 6

Isolate the variable and solve for x by adding 12 in both sides:

9x = 18

x = 2

Substitute 2 with x in any equation to find the value of y:

-y + 3(2) = 6

-y + 6 = 6

Subtract 6 in both sides to isolate the variable:

-y = 0

0/-1 = 0

y = 0

Our answer would be x = 2 and y = 0

since the total number of stamps didn't change, the total ratio should be the same.

7:5(after)

so this means 1 unit is 10stamps.

14-10=4
4 X 10= 40

Kaye have 40 more stamps than Alberto.

Inga [223]

Answer:

No, a convenience sample was taken.Therefore, the sample may not be representative of all college students in terms of number of hours studied per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the important conditions required in other to estimate the mean of the population from the confidence interval. Requires that the data must be a random Sample. This is to ensure that sample values are not biased and as such are representative of the larger group of data.

However, in the scenario described above, the sample chose. Are friend's of the student, this makes the data lack randomness as those who aren't friends to the student do not stand a chance of being selected. The sampling procedure employed is called convenience sampling.
