The difference between two numbers is 9. The first number plus twice the other number is 27. Find the two numbers.

1 answer:

4 0

X - y = 9
x + 2y = 27
You can subtract the top equation from the bottom
3y = 18
y = 6
x = 15
The two numbers are 15 and 6

Answer:

The product of 8x(5x−6) is 40x^2−48x

The product of (x−3)(5x−6) is 5x^2−21x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Verify each option</em></u>

Part 1) The product of 8x(5x−6) is 40x^2−48x

we have

$8x(5x-6)$

Applying distributive property

$8x(5x)-8x(6)\\40x^2-48x$

Compare with the given value

$40x^2-48x=40x^2-48x$

therefore

The statement is true

Part 2) The product of −4x(2x2+1) is −8x^3−5x

we have

$-4x(2x^{2}+1)$

Applying distributive property

$-4x(2x^{2})-4x(1)\\-8x^3-4x$

Compare with the given value

$-8x^3-4x \neq -8x^3-5x$

therefore

The statement is not true

Part 3) The product of (x−3)(5x−6) is 5x^2−21x+18

we have

$(x-3)(5x-6)$

Applying distributive property

$x(5x)-x(6)-3(5x)+3(6)\\5x^2-6x-15x+18\\5x^2-21x+18$

Compare with the given value

$5x^2-21x+18=5x^2-21x+18$

therefore

The statement is true

Part 4) The product of (2x+3)(x^2+3x−5) is 2x^3+9x^2+9x−25

we have

$(2x+3)(x^2+3x-5)$

Applying distributive property

$(2x)(x^2+3x-5)+(3)(x^2+3x-5)\\(2x^3+6x^2-10x)+(3x^2+9x-15)\\2x^3+9x^2-x-15$

Compare with the given value

$2x^3+9x^2-x-15 \neq 2x^3+9x^2+9x-25$

therefore

The statement is not true

Considering that the subjects are chosen without replacement, they are not independent, and the probability cannot be found using the binomial distribution.

The binomial distribution and the hypergeometric distribution are quite similar, as:

They find the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials.
For each trial, there are only two possible outcomes.

The difference is that the binomial distribution is for independent trials, that is, in each trial, the probability of success is the same, while the hypergeometric distribution is for dependent trials.

If the sample is without replacement, the trials are not independent, thus the hypergeometric distribution is used, not the binomial.
