It is convenient to add 3 times the first equation to the second. This will eliminate x.

In general, you want to find some multiple of one equation that you can combine with some multiple of the other to cause one of the variable coefficients to become zero. Here, we see that x is by itself in one equation, so it is convenient to multiply that by a suitable factor to cancel the x-term in the other equation. The x-coefficient in the second equation is -3, so when we multiply the first equation by +3 and add the result to the second equation, we get +3x-3x = 0x in the result.

3(x +5y) +(3y -3x) = 3(17) + (21)

... 18y = 72 . . . . . . collect terms

... y = 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by 18

Substitute into the first equation:

... x + 5·4 = 17

... x = -3 . . . . . . . . subtract 20

The solution is (x, y) = (-3, 4).

_____

Here, we note the second equation has terms that all have a factor of 3 that can be removed. That is, the second equation can be rewritten as

... y - x = 7

Now, we can add this directly to the first equation to eliminate the x terms.

... (y -x) +(x +5y) = 7 + 17

... 6y = 24 . . simplify

... y = 4 . . . . same as above

We could also subtract 5 times the new second equation from the first to eliminate y.

... (x +5y) -5(y -x) = (17) -5(7)

... 6x = -18 . . . . . . simplify

.... x = -3 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Ely has a bag of 42 strawberries. She eats 16 strawberries. How many cherries does she have left. The next day she goes to the s
juin [17]

The number of cherries left is 26

Ely has 54 strawberries now

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Ely has a bag of 42 strawberries. She eats 16 strawberries

To find: Number of cherries left

From given,

Total number of strawberries = 42

Number of strawberries eaten = 16

Therefore,

Number of cherries left = Total number of strawberries - Number of strawberries eaten

Number of cherries left = 42 - 16 = 26

Thus, number of cherries left is 26

<em><u>The next day she goes to the store and buys 28 more cherries</u></em>

Number of cherries bought = 28

Therefore,

Total number of cherries she has now = number of cherries left + Number of cherries bought

Total number of cherries she has now = 26 + 28 = 54

Thus she has 54 strawberries now

The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Test is Left tailed test

Parameter tested is standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the hypothesis as;

Null hypothesis; H0: σ = 8.6

Alternative hypothesis; H1: σ < 8.6

Where;σ is a constant generally known in statistics as the standard deviation.

Now, it's the alternative hypothesis that will let us know whether this is left tailed, right tailed or two tailed.

Alternative hypothesis says σ < 8.6.

This means that the values of σ that satisfy this hypothesis are less than 8.6 and thus are on the left hand side of 8.6 on a number line. Thus, the shaded region in a normal distribution curve will be on the left.

Thus, it's a left tailed test
