Solve by elimination method -> x/10+y/5=1 , x/8+y/6=15

Mathematics

Serggg [28]3 years ago

Answer:

x=340

y=-165

Step-by-step explanation:

x/10+y/5=1 Equation 1

x/8+y/6=15 Equation 2

Using elimination method, we multiply equation 1 by 1/6, the coefficient of y in equation 2 and then also multiply equation 2 by 1/5, the coefficient of y in equation 1, this will make you have the same coefficient and then easy to eliminate.

1/6(x/10+y/5=1)

x/60+y/30=1/6 Equation 3

1/5(x/8+y/6=15)

x/40+y/30=15/5

x/40+y/30=3 Equation 4

We subtract equation 3 from equation 4 to eliminate y

x/40-x/60= (3x-2x)/120= x/120

y/30-y/30

3-1/6= (18-1)/6= 17/6

We now have

x/120=17/6

Cross multiply

6x=2040

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6=2040/6

x=2040/6

x=340

Substitute x for 340 in equation 1

x/10+y/5=1

340/10+y/5=1

34+y/5=1

y/5=1-34

y/5=-33

Cross multiply

y=-33(5)

y=-165

What is the decimal multiplier to decrease by 15%?
REY [17]
<h3>Answer:   0.85</h3>

Explanation:

If we start off with $100 and decrease by 15%, then we are decreasing by $15 since 15% of 100 = 0.15*100 = 15

We start with $100 and drop to 100-15 = 85. Dividing this over the original 100 gets us 85/100 = 0.85

Put another way, 100% - 15% = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

The decimal multiplier for "decrease by 15%" is 0.85; this sort of thing is useful if you wish to apply multiple discounts to a product.

Side note: the 0.85 can be thought of as 85%, so the product's new value is 85% of its original value

Why is sample size important in experimental design? A. Larger sample sizes increase the likelihood that the sample is a good re
nlexa [21]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: when Constructing a confidence interval, it is important to take note of the margin of error which is given by the formulae below

Margin of error = critical value × σ/√n.

Where n is the sample size.

As we can see that the critical value is a constant and the population standard deviation.

Hence there is an inverse relationship between margin of error and sample size, which implies that a large sample size produces a small margin of error.

If the margin of error is small, it means the sample size will increase the like hood that the sample is a good representation of the population.
