Let the two number be x and y.
x+y=-1......i
2x+4y=-10.....ii
solving the simultaneous equation we have:
from equation i, making x the subject we get:
x=-1-y........iii
substituting iii in ii we get:
2(-1-y)+4y=-10
-2-2y+4y=-10
2y=-10+2
2y=-8
y=-8/2=-4
substituting the value of y in iii we get:
x=-1-(-4)
x=-1+4
x=3
therefore the first number is 3 and the second number is -4

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

2x + y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + b

Juliette [100K]

Answer: 0.4667

Step-by-step explanation:

According to 68–95–99.7 rule , About  99.7% of all data values lies with in 3 standard deviations from population mean (\mu).

Here , margin of error = 3s , where s is standard deviation.

As per given , we have want our sample mean \overline{x} to estimate μ μ with an error of no more than 1.4 point in either direction.

If 99.7% of all samples give an \overline{x} within 1.4 , it means that

3s=1.4

Divide boths ides by 3 , we get

s=0.466666666667\approx0.4667

Hence, So \overline{x} must have 0.4667 as standard deviation so that 99.7 % 99.7% of all samples give an \overline{x} within 1.4 point of μ .
