Their are 2 main methods of solving 2 equations with 2 variables:
1) SUBSTITUTION
2) ELIMINATION
I'll show you both:

1) y = 2x + 160
y = - 3x + 208
plug what y is equal to in 1st equation into the y of the 2nd:
2x + 160 = -3x + 208
2x + 3x + 160 = -3x + 3x + 208
5x + 160 -160 = 208 - 160
5x = 48
5x/5 = 48/5
x = 48/5 = 9 3/5
now plug that x into either one of the original equations: y = -3x + 208 = -3(48/5) + 208
y = -144/5 + 208 = 1040/5 - 144/5 = 896/5
y = 179 1/5

2) add the whole equations together so as to cancel out one of the variables:
I'm choosing to eliminate the y, so we need y-y to remove the y's, I'll multiply the whole 2nd equation by -1 to make that -y
-1 (y = - 3x + 208)
-y = 3x - 208
So set it up like:
y = 2x + 160
-[y = 3x - 208]
---------------------
0 = 5x - 48
0+48 = 5x -48 +48
5x = 48
5x/5 = 48/5
x = 48/5
plug that x value into one of the original equations: y = 2x + 160 = 2(48/5) + 160
y = 96/5 + 160 = 96/5 + 800/5 = 896/5
y = 179 1/5

SO WE GOT THE SAME VALUES BOTH WAYS.
WHEN YOU SEE FUTURE PROBLEMS LIKE THESE, SOME WILL BE QUICKER BY ELIMINATION AND OTHERS BY SUBSTITUTION

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

(a) H0:μ1=μ2; Ha:μ1≠μ2, which is a two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate the

H0: μ1=μ2; null hypothesis that the two means are equal and alternate hypothesis that the two mean are not equal.

Ha:μ1≠μ2 Two tailed test

Test statistic used is

t= x1`-x2` / s√n as the variances are equal and sample size is same

T value for 9 degrees of freedom for two tailed test at α = 0.05 is 2.26

P- value for t test for 9 degrees of freedom is 0.125 from the table.

Hence only a is correct .

A test is worth 50 points. Multiple- choice questions are worth 1 point, and short answer questions are worth 3 points. if the t
bagirrra123 [75]
Correct answer is C. 
m + 3s = 50 
the total number of questions is 20. since the paper is made of only multiple choice and short answer questions, the sum of the multiple choice and short answer questions should be 20.
since multiple choice is 'm' and short answer is 's'
then m + s = 20
but theres no option for that 
if we take the number of points 
points for 1 multiple choice question - 1
then points for m number of multiple choice questions = 1 * m = m
points for 1 short answer - 3
then points for s number of short answer question = 3 * s = 3s
then total number of points = m + 3s
and the total number of points = 50
therefore 
m + 3s = 50
this is the correct answer C.
