What is the value of x and y if 21x+7y=42 and -5x+5y=10 are equal

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

-5x/5 +5y/5=10/5=2

y-x=2

y=x+2

21x+7*(x+2)=42

21x+7x+14=42

28x=42-14

28x=28

x=1

y=1+2

y=3

The auto parts department of an automotive dealership sends out a mean of 4.34.3 special orders daily. What is the probability t

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Mean = 4.3$

$x = 5$

Required

Determine the probability that the order is 5

This question can be answered using Poisson distribution.

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

Where

$\alpha$ is used to represent the mean

and

$\alpha = 4.3$

$x = 5$

<em /> $e = 2.71828$ <em> ---- Euler's constant</em>

So, we have:

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5* 4 * 3 * 2 *1}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{1470.08443 * 0.01356859825}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{19.9469850243}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = 0.1662248752$

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$ <em>Approximated</em>

Savatey [412]

Answer:

AC and BC are the same, so both equal 6

6+6 is 12

Subtract 12 from 20

20-12=8

CD is 8
