Answer:

Solution point is (-1,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value of y in the first equation into the second equation.

2x + 5(3x - 5) = - 42 Remove the brackets on the left
2x + 15x - 25 = - 42 Combine like terms on the left
17x - 25 = - 42 Add 25 to both sides
17x - 25 + 25 = - 42 + 25 Do the addition
17x = - 17 Divide by 17
17x/17 = -17/17 Do the division
x = - 1

=======

Solve for y

y = 3x - 6
x = -1
y = 3(-1) - 6
y = -3 - 6
y = - 9

mary will spin the spinner below 150 times. about how many times should mary expect the spinner to land on a number greater than

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

56 times (This is still assuming 1 isnt an option)

Step-by-step explanation:

0,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

There are 8 options, 3 of which are greater than 5

3/8

3/8 = x/150

3*150 = 450

8 * x = 8x

8x = 450

450/8 = 56.25

56 times

Which of the following are important properties of the arithmetic mean? Check all that apply. Multiple select question. The mean

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

All of the values in the data are used in calculating the mean.

The sum of the deviations is zero.

There is only one mean for a set of data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

True statement about arithmetic mean

(a) False

The mean can be equal to, greater than or less than the median

(b) True

The arithmetic mean is the summation of all data divided by the number of data; hence, all values are included.

(c) True

All mean literally represent the distance of each value from the average; so, when each value used in calculating the mean is subtracted from the calculated mean, then the end result is 0. i.e. $\sum(x - \bar x) = 0$

(d) True

The mean value of a distribution is always 1 value. When more values are added to the existing values or some values are removed from the existing values, the mean value will change.

(e) False

Nominal data are not numerical or quantitative data; hence, the mean cannot be calculated.

In blueprints an architects firm drew everything 1/24 of the actual size the windows will actually measure 4feet by 6 feet and t

stich3 [128]

To apply a scale to a measure, you have to follow this rule:

Real measure x Scale = Scaled measure

So the drawings will have:

4 x 1/24 = 0'167 feet
6 x 1/24 = 0'25 feet
Windows: 0'167 by 0'25 feet

12 x 1/24 = 0'50 feet
8 x 1/24 = 0'33 feet
Doors: 0'33 by 0'50 feet
