The first number, x, is 3.5. The other number, y, is 10.5.
X+y=-7
X-y=14.
Those are the two equations. If you use the elimination method, and add those two equations together, the resulting equation is 2x=7. That means the first variable is 3.5. So, 3.5-y=-7, so that means y is -10.5. If you plug that in with the other equation then it comes out as true.

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 14 and their difference is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 numbers (x and y)

x+y = 14

and x-y + 10

If you each equation by positive 2, one gets 2x+2y = 28 and 2x-2y = 20

The 'y-terms' cancel out or equal zero when adding, so 4x = 48, divide by 4 on each side and x or the first number equals 12.

Plug 12 back into the equation for 'x' and subtract 12 on both sides so that y=2

The difference of 12-2=10 and the addition of 12 and 2 equals 14"

If AA and BB are countable sets, then so is A∪BA∪B.
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A and B are two countable sets

We have to show that if A and B are countable then A\cup B is countable.

Countable means finite set or countably infinite.

Case 1: If A and B are two finite sets

Suppose A={1} and B={2}

A\cup B={1,2}=Finite=Countable

Hence, A\cup B is countable.

Case 2: If A finite and B is countably infinite

Suppose, A={1,2,3}

B=N={1,2,3,...}

Then, A\cup B={1,2,3,....}=N

Hence,A\cup B is countable.

Case 3:If A is countably infinite and B is finite set.

Suppose , A=Z={..,-2,-1,0,1,2,....}

B={-2,-3}

A\cup B=Z=Countable

Hence, A\cup B countable.

Case 4:If A and B are both countably infinite sets.

Suppose A=N and B=Z

Then,A\cup B=N\cup Z=Z

Hence,A\cup B is countable.

Therefore, if A and B are countable sets, then A\cup B is also countable.

Factor the polynomial x2 + 18x + 81 as the product of two binomials
hram777 [196]

Answer:

(x+9)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the polynomial x^2 + 18x + 81 and are being asked to factor this into two binomials.

A rule that I follow is what two numbers multiplied make c (in this case 81) and when added make b (in this case is 18).

So what two numbers when :

A. Multiplied make 81

B. Added make 18

This would be 9.

Now that we have the answer, we can put it into binomials.

(x + 9)(x + 9)

Since these are the same, we can combine it and make it into one.

(x+9)^2

If all the cheese slices have same mass, say m grams

and mass of 3 cheese slices is 27

so,

m+m+m=27

3m=27

or m=27/3

m=9

thus

mass of one cheese slice is 9 grams

In a recent year, Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean score of 276.1 and a s
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

a) \mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1

\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3

b) From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)

c) P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)

P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable the represent the scores for the test analyzed. We know that:

\mu=E(X) = 276.1 , \sigma=Sd(X) = 34.4

And we select a sample size of 64.

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Part a

For this case the mean and standard error for the sample mean would be given by:

\mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1

\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3

Part b

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(\bar X \geq 285)

And we can use the z score defined as:

z=\frac{\bar x -\mu}{\sigma_{\bar x}}

And using this we got:

P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z
