You can write the two equations x = 4y - 7 and x + y = 93; substitute the value of x into the other equation

(4y - 7) + y = 93; combine like terms

5y - 7 = 93; add 7 to both sides

5y = 100; divide both sides by 5

y = 20; substitute this value into the other equation

x + 20 = 93

x = 73

So the numbers are 20 and 73

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

time interval when Tree A is taller than Tree B is;

t > 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Tree A;

Initial height = 24 inches

Increase in height per year = 6 inches per year

Thus, for t years after being planted, height is;

A = 6t + 24

Tree B;

Initial height = 39 inches

Increase in height per year = 3 inches per year

Thus, for t years after being planted, height is;

B = 3t + 39

For tree A to be taller than tree B, then it means thay;

A > B

Thus;

6t + 24 > 3t + 39

Subtract 3t from both sides to get;

6t - 3t + 24 > 39

3t + 24 > 39

3t > 39 - 24

3t > 15

Divide both sides by 3 to get;

t > 5

Thus, time interval when Tree A is taller than Tree B is; t > 5

Answer:

$ME= 2.33*\sqrt{\frac{0.096*(1-0.096)}{250}}= 0.0434$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a sample size of n = 250 units and in this sample they found that 24 units failed one or more of the tests.

We are interested in the proportion of units that fail to meet the company's specifications, and we can estimate this with:

$\hat p = \frac{24}{250}= 0.096$

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 98% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$ and $\alpha/2=0.01$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$

And the margin of error would be:

$ME= 2.33*\sqrt{\frac{0.096*(1-0.096)}{250}}= 0.0434$

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

If the time is 4:00 and 15 minutes pass, the new time is 4:15. "Quarter past 4" is referring to a quarter of an hour (60 / 4 = 15, so 15 minutes) after 4:00, which would be 4:15. 15 minutes after 4:00 would also be 4:15.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

4π in ≈ 12.57 in

Step-by-step explanation:

One full revolution (2π radians) is made in 60 minutes. In 40 minutes, the hand moves through an angle θ of (40/60)(2π) = 4π/3 radians. The length of the arc is ...

s = rθ = (3 in)(4π/3) = 4π in ≈ 12.57 in
