*NOT MY WORK ITS FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO ASKED THE SAME PROBLEM*

Answer: x=15, y= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x=15, y=10

*Note: x and y are only variables used to solve this problem, but know that the two numbers are 15 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use system of equations. Let's use x for one number and y for the other.

First Equation:

x+y=25

We get this equation because it states that the sum of the two numbers is 25.

Second Equation:

y=x-5

We get this equation because it says one number (y) is 5 less than the other (x).

Since we have two equations, we can use substitution method to solve.

                                 [distribute 1 to (x-5)]

                                    [combine like terms]

                                        [add both sides by 5]

                                               [divide both sides by 2]

Now that we have x, we can plug it into any of the equations to find y.

                                         [plug in x=15]

                                        [subtract both sides by 15]

Finally, we have our answer, x=15 and y=10.

X+x-5=25
2x-5= 25
2x=30
X=15
So the larger number is 15 , it’s easy to figure it out but you could get mark for workingnout

Calculating the degrees of freedom, the sample variance, and the estimated standard error for evaluations.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The variance is  \sigma ^2  =25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  21

     The sum of squares is SS =  500

Generally the variance is mathematically represented as

           \sigma ^2  = \frac{SS}{n- 1}

substituting values

          \sigma ^2  = \frac{ 500}{21- 1}

          \sigma ^2  =25

Because AB is a midsegment, the length of AB is half he length of XZ so basically you do
2(3x-1)=34.
Divide 2 by both sides to get 3X-1=17
Add 1 to boh sides to get 3X=18
Divide 3 from boh sides to get X=6
Hope this helps :)
