Answer:

  • 6 # plastic bricks
  • 4 # wooden blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pounds of plastic bricks in the mix. Then the number of pounds of wooden blocks is (10-p), and the total cost is ...

  10p +5(10-p) = 80

  5p = 30 . . . . . . . . . subtract 50

  p = 6 . . . . divide by 5; there are 6 pounds of plastic bricks in the mix

4 pounds of wooden blocks and 6 pounds of plastic bricks should be used to make a 10-lb mix worth $80.

Solve the system by elimination 1: x+5y-4z=-10, 2x-y+5z=-9, 2x-10y-5z=0 .. . 2. Solve the system by substitution: 2x-y+z=-4, z=5

1 )
1st and 2nd equation (multiply 1st by -2 ):
-2x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
2 x -  y    + 5 z = -9
---------------------------
       - 11 y + 13 z = 11  /  * ( -20 )
1st and 3rd:
- 2 x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
   2 x - 10 y - 5 z = 0
-----------------------------
         - 20 x + 3 z = 20  /  * 11
        ----------------------------------
         220 y - 260 z = -220
        - 220 y + 33 z = 220
        ------------------------------
                       z = 0,      y = -1,        x = - 5
2 )  
       2 x - y + 5 = -4
       - 2 x + 3 y - 5 = - 10
       Substitution: y = 2 x + 9
       - 2 x + 3(2 x + 9 ) = -5
        4 x = - 32,          x = -8,    y = -7,   z = 5
3 )
      x + y + z = 11
   1.5 x+3 y +1.5 z = 21
      x = 2 y
   ------------------------
      3 y + z = 11  / * (-2)
      6 y + 1.5 z = 21
    ------------------------
     - 6 y - 2 z = -22
       6 y + 1.5 z = 21
      ------------------------
                 -0.5 z = -1,           z = 2,   y = 3,   z = 6

The value of an explanatory variable is 5, while the corresponding value of the response variable is 15. What would be the coord
vampirchik [111]

An explanatory variable is a type of independent variable. A response variable is a type of dependent variable. An explanatory variable is used to predict or explain differences in the response variable.

The first coordinate corresponds to independent variable and the second coordinate corresponds to dependent variable.

Since independent variable takes value 5 and dependent variable takes value 15, then the point (5,15) would be the  point when plotted on a scatterplot.

Answer: correct choice D
