Answer:

x= 5/4 ; y= -7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

3x+y=2;5x−y=8

Step: Solve3x+y=2for y:

3x+y+−3x=2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

y=−3x+2

Step: Substitute−3x+2foryin5x−y=8:

5x−y=8

5x−(−3x+2)=8

8x−2=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)

8x−2+2=8+2(Add 2 to both sides)

8x=10

(Divide both sides by 8)

Step: Substitute

forxiny=−3x+2:

y=−3x+2

y=−3(

)+2

−7

(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

and y=

−7

C=2(3.14)r; c=14(3.14) solve for r

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

c=2(3.14)r

given c=14(3.14), then r

make r the subject formula and substitute given c=14(3.14)

r=c/2(3.14)

r=14(3.14)/2(3.14)

r=7

If the weight (in grams) of cereal in a box of Lucky Charms is N(489,6), what is the probability that the box will contain less

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.000064 = 0.0064% probability that the box will contain less than the advertised weight of 466 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

N(489,6)

This means that $\mu = 489, \sigma = 6$
