Answer:

The two numbers are 52 and 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=64

x=16+3y

Now, substitute the second equation into the first one.

16+3y+y=64

16+4y=64

4y=48

y=12

Substitute 12 into one of the equations in order to find x.

x=16+3(12)

x=16+36

x=52

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

subtract 8 from both sides

8-2x-8=-4x+4-8

simplify

-2x=-4x-4

add 4x to both sides

-2x+4x=-4x-4+4x

Simplify

2x=-4

divide both sides by 2

2x/2=4/2

simplify

x=-2

Data on the blood cholesterol levels of 6 rats give mean = 85, s= 12. A 95% confidence interval for the mean blood cholesterol o

lana [24]

The correct answer is:

c)75.4 to 94.6

Explanation:

The formula for a confidence interval is:

$\mu \pm z*(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$ ,

where μ is the mean, z is the z-score associated with the level of confidence we want, σ is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

Our mean is 85, our standard deviation is 12, our sample size is 6, and since we want 95% confidence, our z-score is 1.96:

$85\pm 1.96(\frac{12}{\sqrt{6}})=85\pm 9.6=85-9.6, 85+9.6=75.4, 94.6$

The measure of the supplement of an angle is 20° more than three times the measure of the original angle. find the measures of t

viva [34]

If the original angle is x degrees then its supplement is 180 - x degrees.

we have the equation:-

180 - x = 3x + 20

160 = 4x

x = 40

The original angle is 40 degrees and its supplement is 140 degrees
