Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2y = 14

2x + y = 3

In order to find the number x represents, you have to make the number of y for both equations the same. So:

8x + 2y = 14

(×2) 4x + 2y = 6 (×2)

Then, you can cancel the y off both equations, which will leave:

8x = 14

4x = 6

To find 4x, you have to find the difference between both equations, so you have to:

14 - 6 = 8

Now that the actual number 4x represents is 8, so:

4x = 8

(÷4) x = 2 (÷4)

Now to find y, substitute the letter x with 2:

2x + y = 3

2 (2) + y = 3

4 + y = 3

4 - 3 = -y

1 = -y

(× -) -1 = y (× -)

Answer: x = 2

y = -1

Hope this helps! :)

There is no simplest fraction, because no same numbers go into 33 and 100. (The hundred is from 33/100, because 33% and 33/100 are the same thing.

A car owner buys diesel at rs 7.50, rs 8, rs 8.50 per litre for three successive years. what approximately is the average cost p

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Average cost per litre of diesel = rs 8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent on diesel each year = rs 4000

Price of a litre of diesel in the first year = rs 7.50

Price of a litre of diesel in the second year = rs 8.00

Price of a litre of diesel in the third year = rs 8.50

Average cost per litre of diesel = $\frac{p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3} }{n}$

where n is the number of years.

Average cost per litre of diesel = $\frac{7.5 + 8.00 + 8.50}{3}$

= $\frac{24}{3}$

= 8

Average cost per litre of diesel is rs 8.00

So that he buys an average of 500 (i.e $\frac{4000}{8}$ ) litres every year.

Grapes are 2.55 per pound and on two separate occasions Dana went to the store to

fomenos

Answer: $11.48

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you have to multiply 3.25 by 2.55 because the grapes are 2.55 per pound. That makes 8.2875 for the first occasion. Next, you have to multiply 1.25 by 2.55 for the second occasion. That makes 3.1875. You then have to add 8.2875 and 3.1875. You get 11.47500, and that rounded to the nearest cent is $11.48.

Find a 75% confidence interval for the population average weight μ of all adult mountain lions in the specified region. (Round y

kupik [55]

Answer:

75% confidence interval is 91.8±16.66. That is between 75.1 and 108.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is missing. It is as follows:

Adult wild mountain lions (18 months or older) captured and released for the first time in the San Andres Mountains had the following weights (pounds): 69 104 125 129 60 64

Assume that the population of x values has an approximately normal distribution.

Find a 75% confidence interval for the population average weight μ of all adult mountain lions in the specified region. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

75% Confidence Interval can be calculated using M±ME where
