Answer: maybe c?

Step-by-step explanation:

from eqn. 1

3x + 2y = 23

2y = 23 - 3x

y = 23/2 - 3/2x

sub into eqn. 2

1/2x - 4 = 23/2 - 3/2x

1/2x + 3/2x = 23/2 + 4/1

2x = 23/2 + 8/2

2x = 31/2

x = 31/4

sub into eqn. 1

31/4 + 2y = 23

2y = 23 - 31/4

2y = 92/4 - 31/4

2y = 61/4

y = 61/8 or 7 5/8

ummm i got something wrong but try c?

Answer:

C . 31/4,-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. sub the given value of y

into 3x + 2 (1/2x -4) 23

2. slove for x = 31/4

3.sub the given value of x into 1/2x - 4 =y

4. solve the equation for y

5. y = -1/8

6. ordered pair to (x,y) = 31/4,1,8

Symbol for taken away

daser333 [38]

Hi there!

In math terms, when we think of the words "Taken away", we immediately think of subtraction/subtracting. So, the symbol that you're looking for looks sort of like a dash.

- is what it looks like.

Hope this helps!

Message me if you need anything else! I'd be happy to help you! :D

What is the method of comparing Coefficient

Svetllana [295]

Answer: In mathematics, the method of equating the coefficients is a way of solving a functional equation of two expressions such as polynomials for a number of unknown parameters. It relies on the fact that two expressions are identical precisely when corresponding coefficients are equal for each different type of term.

A man is 32 years old and his son is 5 years old. How many years hence will the

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the current ages:

father= 32 yrs old

son=5 yrs old

-------

4(5+x) = 32+x

20+4x = 32+x

4x-x = 32–20

3x =12

x = 12/3

x = 4 years

------------------------------------

after the 4 years later the farther age will be 36 ( 32+4 = 36)

the son will be 9 ( 5+4= 9 years)

the x presents how the father will be after 4 times the age of the son

A genetics experiment involves a population of fruit flies consisting of 1 male named Bart and 3 females named Charlene, Diana,

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(b) $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 male named Bart (b)

3 females named Charlene(c), Diana(d), and Erin(e).

Since there is replacement, the possible samples are:

bb, bc, be, bd, cb, cc, cd, ce, db, dc, dd, de, eb, ec, ed, and ee.

Total Number of pairs = 16

Event of picking 2 males:bb

Event of 1 male:bc,cb,bd,db,be,eb

Event of picking 0 males:

cc, cd, ce, dc, dd, de, ec, ed, and ee.

$\begin{equation*} \begin{matrix}Proportion of males & Probability \\0 & 9/16 \\1 & 6/16 \\2 & 1/16 \end{matrix} \end{equation*}$

b. The mean of the sampling distribution

$\mu = (\frac{9}{16} X0 ) +(\frac{6}{16} X 1)+(\frac{1}{16} X 2) = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$

c. No; the proportion of males is $\frac{1}{4}$ while the mean is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

B. No, the sample mean is not equal to the population proportion of males. These values are not always equal, because proportion is an unbiased estimator.
