As a rule of thumb, a discrete random variable is countable.
A continuous random variable is measurable but not countable.
a. Discrete
The number of hits to a website is countable.
b. Continuous
The weight of a T-bone steak is measurable.
c. Discrete
The political party affiliations of adults are countable.
d. Discrete
The number of bald eagles in a country is countable.
e. Continuous
The amount of snowfall in December is measurable.
f. Discrete
The number of textbook authors is countable.
Answer:
x =
, y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Isolate for x in one of the equations:
2x = 9x - 14y
2x-9x = 9x-9x -14y
-7x = -14y
-7x/-7 = -14y/-7
x = 2y
2. Substitute 2y in for x in the second equation:
9(2y) = 40 - 14y
3. Simplify:
18y = 40 - 14y
4. Isolate for y:
18y+14y = 40 -14y+14y
32y = 40
32y/32 = 40/32
y = 
5. Substitute the new y-value into the simplified expression x = 2y:
x = 2(5/4)
x =

with a scale factor
length becomes scale factor * length
area becomes scale factor^2 * area
volume becomes scale factor ^3 * volume
if the diameter is doubled the scale factor is 2
Volume becomes 2^3 * volume
the volume increases by a factor of 8
To answer this question you would need to know the formula for the area of a circle,

. You would start by squaring 400, getting 160,000. You would then multiply 160,000 by 3.14, getting 502,400 meters squared as your answer.
