Find the x- and y-intercepts of 5x - 3y = 12 .

1 answer:

6 0

X = (12/5,0)
y = (0,-4)

substitute 0 in for y & solve for x , to find the y-intercept substitute 0 in for x and then solve . ( I hope that makes sense)

To answer (a), we will need to find the Z value for 710 hours and 990 hours.

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ 710} \\ Z\text{ = }\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\ \text{ = }\frac{710-850}{70} \\ \text{ = -2} \\ p\text{ =0.0228 } \\ For\text{ 990:} \\ Z\text{ = }\frac{990-850}{70} \\ \text{ =2} \\ p\text{ = 0.9772} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} To\text{ find P \lparen–2 \le Z \le 2\rparen} \\ =\text{ 0.9772 -0.0228} \\ =\text{ 0.9544} \\ =95.44\% \end{gathered}$

B) 68% of data lies between one standard deviation of the mean.

850 +70 = 920

850 - 70 = 780

How many solutions does the system of equations below have? (PLEASE HELP)

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y= -54-2

y= -56 &

x= -54/ -9

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y= -9x-2

-9x= y+2 divide bothe side by -9

x=y+2/-9

y= -9(y+2/ -9) -2 = (y+2)-2

y= -2(y+2)

y= -2y-4

y+2y= -4

3y= -4 divide bothe side by 3

y= -4/3

x=y+2/ -9

x= -4/3+2/-9

x= -2/3× -9

x=18/3

x=6

Answer:

We can rewrite this as $\frac{200x}{x} + \frac{-300}{x}$ .

$\frac{200x}{x}$ simplifies to 200 after eliminating x from the numerator and denominator and $\frac{-300}{x}$ becomes $-\frac{300}{x}$ so the final answer is $200 - \frac{300}{x}$ .
