x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.

pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120

pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54

eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.

9x + 6y = 162

-2x - 6y = -120

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

7x = 42

x = 6

y = 18

Equate 3 parts tp 9 inches:

3 parts = 9 inches


Find 1 part:

1 part = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 inches


Find 7 parts:

7 parts = 3 x 7 = 21 inches


Area = Length x Width = 21 x 9 = 189 in²


Answer: The longer side is 21in and the area is 189 in²

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

i use the two sided t-test.

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be nearly impossible to ascertain with certain the proposition above but we would rather guess using the parameters that were available at the time.

generally in statistics, we use a two sided t-test when an area of a distribution is two-sided and tests whether a particular given sample in question  is greater than or less than a exact range of values.

the two sided t-test  is mostly used in null-hypothesis testing and testing for statistical significance.
