Answer:

x=5

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y= 31

-6x - 3y = -36  (multiple  by -3)

 

-x=-5

x=5

2(5)+y=12   or         25 + 3y= 31

10+y=12                  3y=6

y=2                          y=2

Answer:

x = 5, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll use substitution on this one, which makes me choose one of the equation and solve for x. (5x + 3y = 31 was chosen)

5x + 3y = 31

Subtracct 3y from both sides

5x = -3y + 31

Divide both sides by 5

x = 1/5 (-3y + 31)

Multiply 1/5 by -3y + 31

x = -3/5y + 31/5

Substitute -3/5y + 31/5 for x in the other equation (2x + y = 12)

2 (-3/5y + 31/5) + y = 12

Multiply -3/5y + 31/5 by 2.

-6/5y + 62/5 + y = 12

Add -6/5y to y

-1/5y + 62/5 = 12

Subtract 62/5 from both sides

-1/5y = -2/5

Multiply both sides by -5

y = 2

Now head back to the previous equation, except substitute y for 2.

x = -3/5 * 2 + 31/5

Multiply -3/5 by 2.

x = (-6 + 31)/5

Add -6 and 31

x = 25/5

Divide 25 by 5.

x = 5

Formulate 5 and 2 for x and y in the equation.

5(5) + 3(2) = 31

2(5) + 2 = 12

25 + 6 = 31; true

10 + 2 = 12; true

x is 5 and y is 2.

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen person gets an incorrect diagnosis is 2.965% = 0.02965.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, The test to detect the presence of a liver disorder is 98% accurate for a person who has the disease.

so, probability of incorrect diagnosis = 100-98 = 2% = 0.02.

and 97% accurate for a person who does not have the disease.

so, probability of incorrect diagnosis = 100-97 = 3% = 0.03.

And 3.5% of the people in a given population actually have the disorder.

⇒ the probability that a randomly chosen person gets an incorrect diagnosis is        (3.5% × 0.02) + (96.5% × 0.03) = 2.965% = 0.02965.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

6x+4y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

when x-intercept is 0

6(0)+4y=12

0+4y=12

divide by 4 both side

y=3

when y-intercept is 0

6x+4(0)=12

6x+0=12

6x=12

divide by 6 both side

Pls answer if you only know the correct answer! Thanks! :)
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

I would say it's -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 is pretty far, I'm assuming -2 is at the left end of the line, so -.8 seems like the most reasonable answer.

The side length of a square is x+1. write an expression that is equivalent to the perimeter of the square.
Amiraneli [1.4K]
4x + 4

This is because there are four sides of a square, and each side is x + 1.

x + 1 + x + 1 + x +1 + x + 1 = 4x + 4
