Answer:

<h3>Option 4: y = 3 – 2a</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation;

ax + by = ab  ......... 1

2ax + 3by = 3b .....2

Required

Express y in terms of a

Using elimination method to eliminate x variable.

eqn 1 * 2 and eqn 2 *1 will give;

2ax + 2by = 2ab

2ax + 3by = 3b

Subtract

2by - 3by = 2ab - 3b

-by = 2ab - 3b

-by = b(2a-3)

-y = 2a-3

multiply through by -1

y = -2a + 3

y = 3-2a

Hence the value of y in terms of a is y = 3-2a

1. The US Mint has a specification that pennies have a mean weight of 2.5g. From a sample of 37 pennies, the mean weight is foun
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

the pennies does not conform to the US mints specification

Step-by-step explanation:

z = (variate -mean)/ standard deviation

z= 2.5 - 2.4991 / 0.01648 = 0.0546

we are going to check the value of z in the normal distribution table, which is the table bounded by z.

checking for z= 0.0 under 55 gives 0.0219 (value gotten from the table of normal distribution)

we subtract the value of z from 0.5 (1- (0.5+0.0219)) = 0.4781 > 0.05claim

since 0.4781 > 0.05claim, therefore, the pennies does not conform to the US mints specification

the claim state a 5% significance level whereas the calculated significance level is 47.81%. therefore, the claim should be rejected

Pipe A can fill 3 tanks in 8 minutes. Pipe B can fill 5 tanks in 10 minutes. How long will it take for them to fill a single tan
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

8/7 min  = 1 \frac{1}{7}   minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rate 2 2/3 = 8/3 min per tank

B rate 2 min per tank

thus:

A rate = 3/8 tank per min

B rate = 1/2 tank per min

A+ B =  3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8 tank per min

7/8 x = 1

x = 8/7 min

Draw a triangle and you can see that you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
C = root (100^2 + 240^2)
