Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of equations are called simultaneous equations and the method we can use to solve these type of equations is either Substitution, Elimination and Graphing.

We use substitution here because it is easier.

Equation 1

$7x-2y=16$

Equation 2

$11x+6y=32.3$

Lets take equation 1

$7x-2y=16\\7x=16+2y\\x=\frac{16+2y}{7}$

This is our equation 3 , now put it inside equation 2.

$11x+6y=32.3\\11(\frac{16+2y}{7} )+6y=32.3\\\frac{176+22y}{7} +6y=32.3\\\frac{176+22y+42y}{7}=32.3\\176+22y+42y=226.1 \\\\42y+22y=226.1-176\\64y=50.1\\y=\frac{50.1}{64} \\y=0.783\\$

We found the value of y , now to find the value of x insert the value of y in equation 3

$x=\frac{16+2y}{7}\\x=\frac{16+2(0.783)}{7} \\x=\frac{16+1.566}{7}\\x=\frac{17.566}{7}\\x=2.509$

Solved ! See the attached image on both the straight line graphs i have attached for better understanding. Where both the lines intersect each other is our value of (x , y) respectively.

Describe a rectangular prism using words such as surfaces

vivado [14]

The surfaces are the faces of the prism. The vertices are the points of the prism, where three sides intersect. You can also call them corners. To find the volume, you multiply length and width and height.

Answer:

95.64% probability that pledges are received within 40 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 28, \sigma = 7$
