Solve:(1/7)x +(1/6)y =3 ; (1/2)x - (1/3)y =5​

Mathematics

Svetach [21]3 years ago

Answer:

(14, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{7} x + \frac{1}{6} y = 3 ( multiply through by 42 to clear the fractions )

6x + 7y = 126 → (1)

\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{3} y = 5 ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )

3x - 2y = 30 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term

- 6x + 4y = - 60 → (3)

Add (1) and (3)term by term to eliminate x

11y = 66 ( divide both sides by 11 )

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

6x + 7(6) = 126

6x + 42 = 126 ( subtract 42 from both sides )

6x = 84 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 14

Solution is (14, 6 )

Write an expression in simplest form that represents the perimeter of the polygon ​
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Perimeter = (11x + 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, perimeter of a polygon is represented by the sum of measures of all sides,

Perimeter of the given polygon = 3x + (x + 10) + 5x + (2x + 2)

By adding like terms of the expression,

Perimeter of the polygon = (3x + x + 5x + 2x) + (10 + 2)

                                          = (11x + 12)

Therefore, expression for the perimeter is (11x + 12).

ACT scores have a mean of 20.8 and 9 percent of the scores are above 28. The scores have a distribution that is approximately no
dimaraw [331]

Answer: 5.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =  ACT scores.

Given: ACT scores have a mean of 20.8 and 9 percent of the scores are above 28. The scores have a distribution that is approximately normal.

i.e. P(X>28)=0.09   (i)

Now,

P(X>28)=P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{28-20.8}{\sigma})\\\\= P(z>\dfrac{7.2}{\sigma})\ \ \ \ [z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}]    (ii)

One -tailed z value for p-value of 0.09 =1.3408 [By z-table]

From (i) and (ii)

\dfrac{7.2}{\sigma}=1.3408\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sigma=\dfrac{7.2}{1.3408}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sigma=5.37

Hence, the standard deviation = 5.37
