Hey there!!

Let's take the first number as ' x '

Let's take the second number as ' y '

First number + twice the second number is 1

x + 2y = 1 ------------ ( 1 )

Twice the second number + second number is 14.

2x + y = 14 ----------- ( 2 )

Now let's get them all together...

...................................................................................................................................................................

x + 2y = 1 --- ( 1 )

2x + y = 14 --- ( 2 )

Now, let's multiply the first equation with 2 ...

...................................................................................................................................................................

2x + 4y = 2 --- ( 1 )

2x + y = 14 --- ( 2 )

Now, let's subtract the second equation from the second...

...................................................................................................................................................................

2x + 4y = 2 --- ( 1 )

- ( 2x + y ) = - ( 14 )

...................................................................................................................................................................

2x + 4y = 2 --- ( 1 )

-2x - y = -14 --- ( 2 )

...................................................................................................................................................................

3y = -12

Divide by 3 on both sides...

y = -4

The second number is -4.

We have the first equation x + 2y = 1

We got the y value, now substitute the value of y to get the value of x

...................................................................................................................................................................

x + 2y = 1

x + 2 ( -4 ) = 1

x - 8 = 1

Add 8 on both sides

x = 9

Hence, the second number is 9.

...................................................................................................................................................................

Hope my answer helps!!

Let's consider the first number to be f and the second number to be s. Based on the information in the problem, we can create the following equations:

f + 2s = 1

2f + s = 14


Now, we can solve the equations through systems of equations. One way of doing this is by multiplying one of the equations so that there is a term in both equations which can be removed by addition or subtraction. In our case, we can multiply the entire first equation by 2 to get:

2f + 4s = 2/tex][tex]2f + s = 14


Now, subtract 2f from both equations to get:

3s = -12

s = -4


Now that we have found s, "plug" it back into an equation to find f:

f + 2(-4) = 1

f - 8 = 1

f = 9


Our answers are s = -4 and f = 9.

7. If U= {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16} and<br> A = {6, 10, 14}, what is A'?
Tresset [83]

The compliment of set A that is A' is equal to {2, 4, 8, 12, 16}.

We are given the universal set as:

U = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}

We are also given that set A is:

A = {6, 10, 14}

We need to find A'

For this, we will subtract set A from the universal set, U.

So, we get that:

A' = U - A

A' = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16} - {6, 10, 14}

Solving the expression, we get that:

A' = {2, 4, 8, 12, 16}

Therefore, we get that, the compliment of set A that is A' is equal to {2, 4, 8, 12, 16}.

A large university is interested in learning about the average time it takes students to drive to campus. The university sampled
Dmitrij [34]

Answer: The value of test statistic is 2.442.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 238

Sample mean = 23.2 minutes

Standard deviation = 20.26 minutes

Hypothesis :

H_0:\mu=20\\H_a:\mu\neq 20

So, the test statistic value would be

z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{23.2-20}{\dfrac{20.26}{\sqrt{236}}}\\\\z=2.442

Hence, the value of test statistic is 2.442.
