Answer:

Your solution is (6, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Combining the equations is also known as substitution. This is done when you substitute one variable into another equation.

-8x - 5y = -13

-4x - 5y = 11

Let's change the second equation into one with one variable on each side.

-5y = 4x + 11

y = -4/5x - 11/5

Now, plug this into your first equation.

-8x - 5(-4/5x - 11/5) = -13

Distribute the -5 sign.

-8x + 4x + 11 = -13

Combine the like terms.

-4x + 11 = -13

-4x = -24

Isolate x by dividing both sides by -4.

x = -24/-4

x = 6

Now plug this back into either equation.

y = -4/5(6) - 11/5

Multiply.

y = -24/5 - 11/5

Subtract.

y = -35/5

Simplify.

y = -7

Your solution is (6, -7).

Check this by plugging in these values into the equation you have not checked yet.

-8(6) - 5(-7) = -13

-48 + 35 = -13

-13 = -13

Your solution is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(6,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract them:

-8x - 5y = -13

-4x - 5y = 11

you get

-4x = -24

so x = 6

plug x into the second equation:

-24 - 5y = 11

-5y = 35

y = -7

so your solution is (6,-7).

g In 2013, the Pew Research Foundation reported that 43% of U.S. adults report that they live with one or more chronic condition
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of U.S. adults who live with one or more chronic conditions is between 39.7% and 46.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  sample  proportion is \r p = 43\%  = 0.43

   The  standard error is SE =  0.017

Given that the confidence level is 95%  then the level of significance is mathematically represented as  

      \alpha =  (100-95)\%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

     E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  SE

=>    E = 1.96 *  0.017

=>     E = 0.03332

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

      \r p -E <  p <  \r p +E

=>   0.43 -0.03332 <  p <  0.43 + 0.03332

=>    0.39668 <  p <  0.46332

Converting to percentage

(0.39668 * 100)<  p <  (0.46332*100)        

39.7\% <  p < 46.33 \%
