Hello there! the answer would be x = 3/4.

You are given the two equations: 4x - 2y = 8 and y = 1/2x + 2. You are asked to solve via substitution. To do this, substitute the value of y in the second given equation into the first given equation, and solve using PEMDAS.

4x - 2(1/2x + 2) = 8 - Start by distributing 2 into (1/2x + 2).

4x - 1x + 4 = 8 - Combine like terms.

3x + 4 = 8 - Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x = 4 - divide both sides by 3.

x = 3/4. This is your final answer.

I hope this was helpful, have a great day! :)

Solve the system. -3x-y=10; y-4z=-13; x-4y+z=4

Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.

Use the last equation to write an expression for z.

  z = 4 -x +4y

Substitute this into the second equation:

  y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13

  y -16 +4x -16y = -13

  4x -15y -3 = 0

In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...

  3x +y +10 = 0

Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...

  x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"

  y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation

  z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z

The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

<em>Additional comment</em>

Written as an augmented matrix, the system of equations is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}-3&-1&0&10\\0&1&-4&-13\\1&-4&1&4\end{array}\right]

A company offers a flood insurance policy that costs a homeowner $200 per year, and the company will make a payout of $100,000 t
wel

Answer:

σX​ = 3161

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is the square root of the multiplication of each probability multiplied by the squared difference between the values and the mean.

In this question:

\sigma X = \sqrt{0.999*(200-100)^2 + 0.001*(-99800-100)^2} = 3160.7

Rounding to the nearest dollar, σX​ = 3161
