Answer:

8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use x for the first number, and y for the second, you get equations of 3x+5y=54 and x-2=y.

You can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve it. This gives 3x+5(x-2)=54.

The brackets can be expanded to 3x+5x-10=54. Collecting like terms makes it 8x-10=54.

Next, we add 10 to both sides. This gives 8x=64.

From there, we isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8, giving x=8.

To work out the second number, we can sub 8 for x in either equation (I'm using the second one as it's simpler).

This comes to y=8-2, therefore y=6.

Your sister is considering two different shapes of her garden. One is a square with side lengths of 3.5 meters, and the other is
Bond [772]
A square always has 4 equal sides. this is a well known fact and this can be used to deduce the area of the square. We also know that the length of one side of the square is 3.5 metres. Then to finding the area of the square is easy.
Area of the square = (3.5 * 3.5) square metres
                               = 12.25 square metres
So the area of the square garden is 12.25 square metres.
the formula of calculating area changes with the shape of the garden. this formula will not work if the garden is rectangular or circular in shape.

The following table shows the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization for the period of 1984 t
pashok25 [27]
Giving the table below which shows <span>the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization for the period of 1984 to 2003.
</span>
Year:        1984     1989     1993     1997     2001     2003

Percent:    7.8       16.3       26.2      38.9     49.2      62.1

The scatter plot of the data is attached with the x-axis representing the number of years after 1980 and the y-axis representing the percent increase <span>of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization.

To find the equation for the line of regression where </span><span>the x-axis representing the number of years after 1980 and the y-axis representing the percent increase of donations made on behalf of a non-profit organization.
\begin{center}&#10;\begin{tabular}{ c| c| c| c| }&#10; x & y & x^2 & xy \\ [1ex] &#10; 4 & 7.8 & 16 & 31.2 \\  &#10; 9 & 16.3 & 81 & 146.7 \\ &#10;13 & 26.2 & 169 & 340.6 \\ &#10;17 & 38.9 & 289 & 661.3 \\ &#10;21 & 49.2 & 441 & 1,033.2 \\ &#10;23 & 62.1 & 529 & 1,428.3 \\ [1ex]&#10;\Sigma x=87 & \Sigma y=200.5 & \Sigma x^2=1,525 & \Sigma xy=3,641.3  &#10;\end{tabular}&#10;\end{center}
</span>
Recall that the equation of the regression line is given by
y=a+bx
where
a= \frac{(\Sigma y)(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma xy)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{200.5(1,525)-87(3,641.3)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2}  \\  \\ = \frac{305,762.5-316793.1}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{-11,030.6}{1,581} =-6.977
and
b= \frac{n(\Sigma xy)-(\Sigma x)(\Sigma y)}{n(\Sigma x^2)-(\Sigma x)^2} = \frac{6(3,641.3)-(87)(200.5)}{6(1,525)-(87)^2}  \\  \\ = \frac{21,847.8-17,443.5}{9,150-7,569} = \frac{4,404.3}{1,581} =2.7858

Thus, the equation of the regresson line is given by
y=-6.977+2.7858x

The graph of the regression line is attached.

Using the equation, we can predict the percent donated in the year 2015. Recall that 2015 is 35 years after 1980. Thus x = 35.

The percent donated in the year 2015 is given by
-6.977+2.7858(35)=-6.977+97.503=90.526

Therefore, the percent donated in the year 2015 is predicted to be 90.5
