-4.5x-2y=-12.5 and 3.25x-y=-0.75
we first multiply the second equation by -2
(-2)*(3.25x-y=-0.75)=-6.5x+2y=-1.5
add the equation to eliminate the y
so yo get (-4.5x-6.5x)=(-12.5-1.5)
-11x=-11
x=1
now we plug in x into any equation to solve for y
-45x-2y=-12.5 and x=1
(-45*1)-2y=-12.5
-4.5-2y=-12.5
-2y=-12.5+4.5
-2y=-8
y=4
then your answer is x=1 and y=4

The ratio of the number of songs Brody bought to the number of songs Jayliah bought is 2:3. The ratio of the number of songs Jay

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Brody purchased 16 songs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the number of songs purchased by Brody(B) and Jayliah(J) = 2 : 3

$\frac{B}{J}=\frac{2}{3}$ ------(1)

Similarly ratio of the songs purchased by Jayliah(J) and Sadie(S) = 4 : 5

$\frac{J}{S}=\frac{4}{5}$ -------(2)

If Sadie bought the songs (S) = 30

From equation (2),

$\frac{J}{30}=\frac{4}{5}$

J = $\frac{4\times 30}{5}$

J = 24

By substituting the value J = 24 in equation (1),

$\frac{B}{24}= \frac{2}{3}$

B = $\frac{2\times 24}{3}$

B = 16

Therefore, number of songs purchased by Brody = 16.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

3.188

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Sample data: 26.5, 28, 30.2, 29.6, 32.3, 24.7

Sample standard deviation (s) = 2.728

Mean (mu) = 25

Tstatistic formula :

(x - mu) / (s/sqrt(n))

n = sample size = 6 ; s = 2.728 ; mu = 25

Sample mean (x) = (26.5 + 28 + 30.2 + 29.6 + 32.3 + 24.7) / 6

Sample mean (x) = 171.3 / 6 = 28.55

Tstatistic = (28.55 - 25) / (2.728 / sqrt(6))

Tstatistic = 3.55 / 1.1137013

Tstatistic = 3.1875692
