X=y-2
2y=5x-17
Substituting for x into the second equation, we find
2y=5(y-2)-17
2y=5y-10-17
-3y=-27
y=9
So x=7
Thus, the two numbers are 7 and 9.
You don't even have to look up the definition of 'standard deviation'. You only
have to remember that 'smaller standard deviation' means 'less spread-out'.
First, let's find the mean (average). It's not supposed to change:
1/7th of (65 + 71 + 77 + 80 + 82 + 90 + 96) = 561/7 = <u>80 and 1/7</u> .
Now, just pick 7 scores that total 561 and are all bunched up.
The easiest way would be 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 81 .
But that's so easy that it feels like cheating.
Let's say <u>77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, and 84</u> .
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by adding 9 to both sides, obtaining: √(x + 9) = 5.
Square both sides, obtaining: x + 9 = 25.
Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 16
Note that √(16+9) - 9 = -4, as required.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>So, L*W=A Because it is 4 cm longer, L=W+4 Because the area is 96, LW=96 Substitute to get W(W+4)=96 Multiply it out. W^2+4W-96=0 By solving the quadratic, W+12(W-8)=0 so either W+12 or W-8 is zero. The width must be positive, so the width is 8. Therefore the length is 12.
Hope this helps.</span>
