Solve the following system by the substitution method.1/4x+2/3y=-17/43x-y=3

1 answer:

6 0

3x - y = 3.....3x - 3 = y

1/4x + 2/3(3x - 3) = -17/4
1/4x + 2x - 2 = -17/4 ...multiply everything by 4
x + 8x - 8 = -17
9x = -17 + 8
9x = - 9
x = -1

3x - y = 3
3(-1) - y = 3
-3 - y = 3
-3 - 3 = y
-6 = y

solution is (-1,-6)

You previously found the mean of this data set. Use that in answering the question. 63, 89, 92, 73, 79, 72, 34, 36, 94, 21, 25,

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Sum of squares of differences = 11239.74

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

63, 89, 92, 73, 79, 72, 34, 36, 94, 21, 25, 93, 22, 90, 79

We have to calculate the sum of square of the data set.

Formula:

$\text{Sum of square of differences} = \sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{962}{15} = 64.13$

Sum of squares of differences =

1.284444444 + 618.3511113 + 776.5511113 + 78.61777778 + 221.0177779 + 61.88444445 + 908.0177776 + 791.4844443 + 892.017778 + 1860.484444 + 1531.417778 + 833.2844446 + 1775.217777 + 669.0844446 + 221.0177779

= 11239.74

How many ml of a 20% acid mixture and a 80% acid mixture should be mixed to get 120ml of a 35% acid mixture?

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Volume of Mixture A =90 ml

Volume of Mixture B =30 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say, Mixture A + Mixture B = Mixture C

Volume of Mixture A is x

Volume of Mixture B is y

So, Volume of Mixture C is x+y = 120 ml

Now, Acid contain in Mixture A is 20% =0.2x

Acid contain in Mixture B is 80% =0.8y

Also, Acid contain in Mixture C is 35% =(0.35)(x+y) = 0.35×120=42

Now, we know that,

Acid contain of Mixture A + Acid contain of Mixture B=Acid contain of Mixture C

∴ 0.2x+0.8y=42

∴ 2x+8y=420

We get two linear equations

2x+8y=420 and x+y = 120

Solving above equation...

∴ x=120-y

Replacing x value in 2x+8y=420

∴ 2(120-y)+8y=420

∴ 240-2y+8y=420

∴ 6y=180

∴ y=30

Replacing y value in any equation

∴ x=120-y=120-30=90

∴ x=90

Thus,

Volume of Mixture A is x=90 ml

Volume of Mixture B is y=30 ml
