Answer:

a=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

ax+3y=2 and 4x+5y=6

In elimination method we try to eliminate one variable

To eliminate one variable we need to make the coefficients same with different sign

to eliminate the variable x  we need to make the number before x same and with different sign

In the second equation the coefficient of x is 4

so the value of 'a' should be -4 to eliminate

a=-4

Circle A has a diameter of 9 inches, a circumference of 28.26 inches, and an area of 63.585 square inches. The diameter of circl
torisob [31]
Please note that pi has just one value.  The only difference stems from round-off error when you don't use all of the digits following "3.14159 ... " to represent the value of pi.  The formula for circumference is C = 2 pi r, or C = pi d, 
where r=radius and d=diameter.

Circle A:  Diameter 9 inches and Circumference of 28.26 inches

If the diameter is 9 inches, then C = 28.26 inches = pi (9 inches).  Divide 28.26 inches by 9 inches.  Note that you MUST round off the ratio (pi) that you obtain, since 28.26 has 4 significant figures and 9 has just one.

28.26
------- = 3.14, but because 9 has just one significant figure, you must round 
    9           this 3.14 to just 3.

ELEN [110]
The formula to use here would be:

A = P(1+r)^t  where P is the principal (starting) amount, r is the rate of interest, and t is time. Knowing this, plug in your values:

A = 14,000(1+0.07)^4 once worked out, you should get $18,351.14414 < this is the total amount he would be paying at the end of 4 years. to find the interest, subtract this amount from the principal amount (14,000):

$18,5351.14414 - 14,000 = 4,351.14414 < this is the amount of interest. Round your answer. 

Answer: Jamal will pain $4,351.14 interest.

Given that 10% of the nails made using a certain manufacturing process have a length less than 2.48 inches, while 5% have a leng
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The mean, μ is 2.5063 and

The standard deviation, σ = 2.0499 × 10⁻²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}

z \sigma ={x- \mu}{} and

10% have length < 2.48 in while

5% have length > 2.54 in

and

From the z score table

Critical z at 10% to the left = -1.282

Critical z at 5% to the right = 1.645

Therefore, the equations become

-1.282σ = 2.48 - μ → μ -1.282σ = 2.48

1.645σ = 2.54 - μ → μ + 1.645σ = 2.54

Solving the above equations gives

The mean, μ = 2.5063 and

The standard deviation, σ = 2.0499 × 10⁻².

Solve the following system of equations.<br> 4x-2y-z=-5<br> x-3y+2z=3<br> 3x+y-2z=-5
Stels [109]
4x - 2y - z = - 5 ______×2x - 3y + 2z = 3 _______×13x + y - 2z = - 5 ______×1
8x - 4y - 2z = - 10x - 3y + 2z = 33x + y - 2z = - 5
8x - 4y - 2z = - 10(+) x - 3y + 2z = 3_____________9x - 7y = - 77y = 9x + 7y = 9/7x + 1
x - 3y + 2z = 3(+) 3x + y - 2z = - 5_____________4x - 2y = - 24x - 2(9/7x + 1) = - 24x - 18/7x - 2 = - 210/7x = 0x = 0
y = 9/7(0) + 1y = 1
0 - 3(1) + 2z = 32z = 6z = 3
