Answer:

(2, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x - 2y = 10 → (1)

x + 4y = 2 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

10x - 4y = 20 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

11x + 0 = 22

11x = 22 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

5(2) - 2y = 10

10 - 2y = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

- 2y = 0, so

y = 0

solution is (2, 0 )

Give an example to show that subtraction does not follow the associative rule

Agata [3.3K]

(6 - 2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

6 - (2 - 1) = 6 - 1 = 5

The associative rule doesn't work for subtraction because you get different results when you move the parentheses.

The ratio of girls to boys in the junior high band is 5 to 7. At the beginning of year, there were 72 students in the band. By t

rusak2 [61]

Ratio is 5girls:7boys with total 72 students
5+7= 12
72➗12= 6
6(5:7)= 30 girls : 42 boys

New ratio is 3:4 with 48 boys

48➗4= 12

So for girls 3x12= 36

So started with 30 girls ended with 36 girls... 6 girls joined band during the school year.

The SAT Reasoning Test (formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test) is perhaps the most widely used standardized test for coll

Answer:

The score is $x = 1884$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 1500$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 300$

From the question we are told that the score follow a normal distribution

i.e $X \~ \ N( 1500 , 300)$

The proportion of score in the top 10% is mathematically

$P(X > x ) = P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } > \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } ) = 0.10$

Where x is the minimum score required to be in the top 10%

Now the $\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } = Z (The \ Standardized \ value \ of \ X)$

$P(X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } ) = 0.10$

$P(X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{x - 1500}{300} ) = 0.10$

So the critical value of 0.10 from the normal distribution table is $Z_{0.10} = 1.28$

$\frac{x - 1500}{300} = 1.28$

$x = 1884$
