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.

given that a1=5 and a2=15 are the first two terms of a geometric sequence, determine the values of a3 and a10. Show the calculat

Alekssandra [29.7K]

a_3 is 45 and a_10 is 98415

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a_1 = 5

a_2 = 15

First of all we have to calculate the common ratio of the sequence. The common ratio is the ratio between two consecutive terms of a geometric sequence.

So,

$r=\frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{15}{5} = 3$

The explicit formula for geometric sequence is:

$a_n = a_1.r^{n-1}$

Putting the value of r and a_1

$a_n = 5.(3)^{n-1}$

Putting n=3 in the explicit formula

$a_3 =5.3^{3-1}\\= 5 * 3^2\\=5 * 9\\= 45$

Putting n=10 for tenth term

$a_{10} =5.3^{10-1}\\=5*3^9\\=5 * 19683\\=98415$

Hence,

a_3 is 45 and a_10 is 98415

The probability distribution histogram shows the number of trees in yards in a certain neighborhood.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the probability of a randomly selected yard having 6 or more than 6 trees

To get this, we simply add up the probability of 6 yards and above

That is the probability of 6, 8 , 10 and 12 yards

This is obtainable from the histogram

We then proceed to add up from the graph

What we have is;

0.05 + 0.25 + 0.10 + 0.05

= 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.25 = 0.45

This is same as 45/100 which is otherwise 45%
