Answer:

(4, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + y = 14 → (1)

7x - 4y = 20 → (2)

Rearrange (1) making y the subject by subtracting 3x from both sides

y = 14 - 3x → (3)

Substitute y = 14 - 3x into (2)

7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

7x - 56 + 12x = 20

19x - 56 = 20 ( add 56 to both sides )

19x = 76 ( divide both sides by 19 )

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 14 - 3(4) = 14 - 12 = 2

solution is (4, 2 )

Answer:

$3x + y = 14 \\ y = 14 - 3x \\ substitute \: y \: into \: equation \: 2\\ 7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 \\ 7x - 56 + 12x = 20 \\ 19x = 76 \\ x = \frac{76}{19} =4 \\ y = 14 - 3( 4 ) = 2 \\$

Triangle P R Q is shown. Angle R P Q is 39 degrees. The length of P R is 6, the length of R Q is p, and the length of P Q is 8.

KATRIN_1 [288]

According to law of cosines the length of RQ can be written as $p^{2} =6^{2} +8^{2} -2*6*8cos(39)$ .

Given the length PR is 6 , the length of RQ is p, the length of PQ is 8 and the angle RPQ is 39 degrees.

A length of the triangle can be written as according to law of cosines if sides are given and one angle is $a^{2} =b^{2} +c^{2} -2bccos(A)$

We have to just put the values in the above equation.

as $p^{2} =6^{2} +8^{2} -2*6*8cos(39)$ .

p is the side opposite to angle given , the length of other sides are 6 and 8 and angle is 39 degrees.

Hence the side can be written as according to law of cosines if the angle is 39 degrees is as $p^{2} =6^{2} +8^{2} -2*6*8cos(39)$ .

The distribution of the amount of money in savings accounts for Florida State students has an average of 1,200 dollars and a sta

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of money in a savings account is approximately normal with mean of 1,200 dollars and standard deviation of 284.6 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
