2x - 5y=-15 can someone walk me through this?

The equation given in the question has two unknown variables in the form of "x" and "y". The exact value of "x" and "y" cannot be determined as two equations are needed to get to the exact values of "x" and "y". This equation can definitely be used to show the way for determining the values of "x" in terms of "y"and the value of "y" in terms of "x". Now let us check the equation given.
2x - 5y = - 15
2x = 5y - 15
2x = 5(y - 3)
x = [5(y - 3)]/2
Similarly the way the value of y can be determined in terms of "x" can also be shown.
2x - 5y = - 15
-5y = - 2x - 15
-5y = -(2x + 15)
5y = 2x + 15
y = (2x +15)/5
= (2x/5) + (15/5)
= (2x/5) + 3
So the final value of x is [5(y -3)]/2 and the value of y is (2x/5) + 3.

A manufacturer of nails claims that only 4% of its nails are defective. A random sample of 20 nails is selected, and it is found

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of nails claims that only 4% of its nails are defective.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 4%, that is:

$H_0: p = 0.04$

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is more than 4%, that is:

$H_a: p > 0.04$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

4% is tested at the null hypothesis

This means that $\mu = 0.04, \sigma = \sqrt{0.04*0.96}$

A random sample of 20 nails is selected, and it is found that two of them, 10%, are defective.

This means that $n = 20, X = 0.1$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.1 - 0.04}{\frac{\sqrt{0.04*0.96}}{\sqrt{20}}}$

$z = 1.37$

P-value of the test and decision:

Considering an standard significance level of 0.05.

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.1, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.37.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147

1 - 0.9147 = 0.0853

The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.

How can i get the answer to 5 X 70 = 5 X ____ tens = ____ tens = _____

Maru [420]

Multiple 5x70 to get 350. Which makes the equation 350=5x and then you have to divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself. so 5x/5 and 350/5 makes x=70

Line A is represented by the following equation: X + y = 2

Verizon [17]

Answer:

x+y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation to have no solution, their slope needs to be same and y intercept needs to be different,

so in this case where x+y=2

doing simply, x+y=3 makes a set of equation which has no solution, you can take any real value which is not 2
