That question is accompanied by these answer choices:
<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.
Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.
Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.
The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.
So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5<x<8.0???????????
Answer:
x = 2
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 2y = -2, then 2y = -2 - 2x
3x - 2y = 12, then 2y = 3x - 12
so:
-2 - 2x = 3x - 12
add 2x and 12 to each side of the equation:
5x = 10
divide both sides by 5:
x = 2
2y = 3(2) - 12
2y = -6
divide both sides by 2:
y = -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using elimination means you either add the two equations together or subtract them. You can first multiply the second equation by 2, so you get 4x - 6y = 24. Then you add the two equations together to get 9x = 42. Then you solve for x and then you can solve for y.
