Combine 2y+1x=40 and y=2x using substitution

fomenos

2(2x) + 1x = 40 or 4x + 1x = 40 is the result of combining by substitution

Solution:

Given that we have to combine 2y + 1x = 40 and y = 2x using substitution method

The substitution method for solving systems of equations involves expressing one variable in terms of another, thus removing one variable from an equation.

Given equations are:

2y + 1x = 40 -------- eqn 1

y = 2x ----------- eqn 2

We can substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

Which means, substitute y = 2x in place of y in eqn 1

2(2x) + 1x = 40

4x + 1x = 40

5x = 40

x = 8

From eqn 2,

y = 2(8)

y = 16

Thus by combining using substitution method we found the solution

Let $a$ and $b$ be nonzero real numbers such that

algol [13]

<h3>Answer: -7/2</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let's expand out (2 - 7i)(a + bi) using the FOIL rule

(2 - 7i)(a + bi) = 2a + 2bi - 7ai - 7bi^2

(2 - 7i)(a + bi) = 2a + 2bi - 7ai - 7b(-1)

(2 - 7i)(a + bi) = 2a + 2bi - 7ai + 7b

(2 - 7i)(a + bi) = (2a+7b) + (2bi-7ai)

(2 - 7i)(a + bi) = (2a+7b) + (2b-7a)i

We're told the result is purely imaginary. What this means is that the real part (2a+7b) is zero, while the imaginary part (2b-7a) is nonzero. If both are zero, then we have 0+0i = 0 which is purely real.

For example, the complex numbers 0-7i and 0+2i are purely imaginary.

Let's use the fact that 2a+7b must be zero to do the following steps:

2a+7b = 0

2a = -7b

a = -7b/2

a/b = -7/2 which is the final answer

We must check to see if 2b-7a is nonzero

2b - 7a = 2b - 7(-7b/2)

2b - 7a = 2b + 24.5b

2b - 7a = 26.5b

The result is nonzero if and only if b is nonzero. Luckily we're told b is nonzero at the top of the problem. So we don't have any worries that (2b-7a) is zero.

Therefore, (2a+7b) + (2b-7a)i will be purely imaginary with a/b = -7/2

------------------

A concrete example:

Let a = -14 and b = 4

a/b = -14/4 = -7/2

(2-7i)(a+bi) = (2-7i)(-14+4i) = 0 + 106i which is purely imaginary.

I'll let you do the steps in expanding that out using the FOIL rule.

Two ballpoint pens are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue pens, 2 red pens, and 3 green pens. If X is the number

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) f(x,y) = $\frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}}$ ; x = 0, 1 , 2; y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b) = $\frac{9}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

joint probability is a function that characterizes the distribution of a random variable. If X and Y be two random variables then the joint probability will be P(X = x, Y=y)

Given Data,

X = The number of blue Pens

Y = The number of red Pens

a)

possible outcomes(X, Y) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (2,0)

Please refer fig. also

total number ways of selecting any 2 pens = $\binom{8}{2}$ = $\frac{8!}{2! 6!}$ =28
