Answer:

Ages of cats => a, a+4, 2a-3

Thus,

a + a + 4 + 2a - 3 = 21 \\  \\ 4a + 1 = 21 \\  \\ 4a = 20 \\  \\ a = 5

The a is 5.

A+a+4+2a-3= 21

combine like terms

1+4a= 21
-1. -1

4a= 20

Suppose that you are asked to conduct a study to determine whether smaller class
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a. correlation

b. inverse linear correlation exists If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score,

c. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Correlation is a measure of the amount of association existing between two variables.

b. For linear correlation, if points are plotted on a graph and all the points lie on a straight line, then perfect linear correlation is said to exist. When a straight line having a positive gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph positive or direct linear correlation exists,

Similarly,when a straight line having a negative gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph, negative or inverse linear correlation exists,

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where +1 indicates perfect direct  Positive linear correlation and −1 indicates perfect inverse correlation or Negative linear correlation and 0 indicates that no correlation exists.

If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score, there will definitely be a negative correlation between class size and test score. i.e low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to high performance.

c. YES

A negative correlation means low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to better performance.

Solve the system of linear equations using linear combination.
brilliants [131]
3a + 6b = 45
2a - 2b = -12....multiply by 3
----------------
3a + 6b = 45
6a - 6b = - 36 ...(result of multiplying by 3)
---------------add
9a = 9
a = 1

3a + 6b = 45
3(1) + 6b = 45
3 + 6b = 45
6b = 45 - 3
6b = 42
b = 7

solution is : (1,7)
