Solve the system of linear equations by substitution 12x+y=−4 y=2x+16

Mathematics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Your solution is (-10/7, 92/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + y = -4

y = 2x + 16

To use substitution, we want to plug one variable's equation into the other equation.

We can see that y is already solved for us. Plug y into the first equation.

12x + y = -4

12x + (2x + 16) = -4

Combine like terms.

14x + 16 = -4

Subtract 16 from both sides.

14x = -20

Divide both sides by 14.

x = -20/14

x = -10/7

Now that we know x, we will plug it into one of the other equations.

y = 2x + 16

y = 2(-10/7) + 16

Multiply.

y = -20/7 + 16

Add.

y = -20/7 + 112/7

y = 92/7

Your solution is (-10/7, 92/7)

Hope this helps!

In a sample of 53 walking canes, the average length was found to be 34.3in. with a variance of 1.9. Give a point estimate for th
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1.38

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the population standard deviation of the length of the walking canes is given as the squareroot of variance. Since variance is provided as 1.9 then the standard deviation will be

\sqrt 1.9=1.37840487520902\approx 1.38

Therefore, rounded off to two decimal places, the standard deviation is approximately 1.38

a cell phone company charges a monthly fee plus a 0.35 for text messages sent they charge 25.00 monthly fee and your bill is 58.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Hey,

So first we are told that they charg a fixed fee of 25:00 right?That means even if you didn’t send any text messages you still have to pay 25:00.

So first we have to subtract that 25:00 form 58.25 right?This means the rest of the bill is for text messages OK?
So he spent 33.25(this is the answer to the subtraction) on the text messages right?
And for every text he sent he was charged 0.35 right? So we have to divide 33.25 by 0.35 right?
And that gets us 95.

Now we can double check the answer by multiplieng 95 by 0.35 and adding 25.

So th answer is 95

Hope this helps !!
