The point of intersection of the linear equations is approximately (x,y) = (2.286, -4.857).

The most quickest approach that offers a reasonable solution consist in representing both linear functions graphically by means of a graphing tool (i.e. Desmos). As there is a system of two equation and two variables, the system can be represented by 2D-graphing tool.

The solution of this system is represented by the point, in which both lines intercepts each other. Let be the following two linear functions:

y = 3\cdot x + 2 (1)

y = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x - 6 (2)

The result from graphic tool is presented below and the point of intersection is approximately (x,y) = (2.286, -4.857).

Answer:

The reasonable estimate for the solution is (2.29, -4.87)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasonable estimate for the solution is the point where the two lines intersect each other.

To get the point where they intersect, we will simply equate the system of equations given as shown:

-3x+2=\frac{1}{2}x-6\\Collect \ the \ like \ terms\\-3x-\frac{1}{2}x=-6-2\\\frac{-7x}{2}=-8\\-7x=-16\\x=\frac{16}{7}    \\x=2.29

Substitute x = 2.29 into any of the equation

Using the equation y = -3x+2

y = -3(2.29)+2

y = -6.87+2

y =-4.87

This shows that the reasonable estimate for the solution is (2.29, -4.87)

Josh works as a tutor for $9 an hour and as a waiter for $8 dollars an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 101 hours
katovenus [111]
<h3>Answer:   9t+8(101-t)</h3>

Work Shown:

t = number of hours tutoring

101-t = number of hours working as a waiter

The expressions t and 101-t add to 101.

9t = amount earned as a tutor, at $9 an hour

8(101-t) = amount earned as a waiter, at $8 an hour

9t+8(101-t) = total amount earned from both jobs

This does not account for taxes or other fees. Optionally, you can distribute the 8 through the (101-t) terms, then combine like terms to simplify.

Data were collected on random specimens of Yellowfin tuna from 1991 and 2010. For the sample of 231 specimens of Yellowfin tuna,
Molodets [167]

Answer:

95% confidence interval: (0.325 ,0.383)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 231

Sample mean = 0.354 ppm

Sample standard deviation = 0.231 ppm

95% confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 4 and}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 1.97  

0.354 \pm 1.97(\dfrac{0.231}{\sqrt{231}} ) = 0.354 \pm 0.029 = (0.325 ,0.383)

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer: 5.34*10^{-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

number of balls = 65.

special black ball that is picked from 10 other balls = numbered 0-9.

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

<em>probability that a single lottery ticket will match 2 balls and the special black ball.</em>

= 65C2*9C1\\\\= 18720\\\\=\frac{1}{18720} \\\\= 5.34*10^{-5}
