Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations 1/2x-3/4y=11/60 and 2/5x+1/6y=3/10

natka813 [3]

ANSWER

$( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )$

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} y = \frac{11}{60} ...(1)$

The second equation is

$\frac{2}{5} x + \frac{1}{6} y = \frac{3}{10} ...(2)$

We want to eliminate y, so we multiply the first equation by

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} y = \frac{11}{60} \times \frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{3}{5} y = \frac{11}{75} ...(3)$

We now subtract equation (3) from (2)

$(\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{2}{3} x )+ ( \frac{1}{6} y - - \frac{3}{5}y ) =( \frac{3}{10} - \frac{11}{75} )$

$\frac{1}{6} y + \frac{3}{5}y =\frac{3}{10} - \frac{11}{75}$

$\frac{23}{30}y = \frac{23}{150}$

Multiply both sides by

$\frac{30}{23}$

$\implies \: \frac{30}{23} \times \frac{23}{30}y= \frac{23}{150} \times \frac{30}{23}$

$\implies \: y = \frac{1}{5}$

Substitute into the first equation to solve for x .

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{60}$

Multiply to obtain

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{20} = \frac{11}{60}$

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{11}{60} + \frac{3}{20}$

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2 \times \frac{1}{2} x =2 \times \frac{1}{3}$

$x = \frac{2}{3}$

The solution is

$( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )$

Compute the mean, median, and mode for the following three sets of scores saved.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Score 1:

3, 7, 5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 6, 5

Mean = $\frac{3 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 6 + 5}{10} = \frac{56}{10} = 5.6$

Median: order the data from least to the greatest.

3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8

The median is average of the fifth and sixth data value in the data set

Median = (5 + 6)/2 = 11/2 = 5.5

Mode = value with the highest frequency = 5

Score 2:

34, 54, 17, 26, 34, 25, 14, 24, 25, 23

Mean = sum of all values/10

Mean = 276/10 = 27.6

Median: order the data set from min to max.

14, 17, 23, 24, 25, 25, 26, 34, 34, 54

The median is average of the fifth and sixth data value in the data set

Median = (25 + 25)/2 = 50/2 = 25

Mode = 25 and 34 (both have frequencies of 2)

Score 3:

154, 167, 132, 145, 154, 145, 113, 156, 154, 123

Mean = sum of all values/10

Mean = 1443/10 = 144.3

Median: order the data set from min to max.

113, 123, 132, 145, 145, 154, 154, 154, 156, 167

The median is average of the fifth and sixth data value in the data set

Median = (145 + 154)/2 = 299/2 = 149.5

Mode = 154

The perimeter of a college athletic field is 100 meters and the length is 16 m more than the width. Find the length and the widt

Inga [223]

P=100
L=16+w
W=w
so we know that Perimeter is all the sides added so 2l+2w
so 100=(2(16+w))+(2(w))
100=32+2w+2w
100=32+4w
68=4w
w=17
so L=16+w therefore L=16+17 L=33
so L=33 and W=17
