Answer:
(-1/2, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the elimination by adding or subtracting method. Note that we have 8y in the first equation, and that we could obtain -8y in the second equation by multiplying the second equation by 2:
2(24x - 4y = -15) => 48x - 8y = -30
Now combine this result (this equation) with the first equation:
2x + 8y = 5
+48x -8y = -30
---------------------
50x = - 25
Dividing both sides by 50, to isolate x, we get
x = -25/50 = -1/2.
Now substitute -1/2 for x in the first equation and solve the resulting equation for y:
2x + 8y = 5
2(-1/2) + 8y = 5, or -1 + 8y = 5, or 8y = 6 (after having added 1 to both sides)
Dividing both sides of 8y = 6 by 8 leads to determining the value of y:
y = 6/8 = 3/4
The solution is (-1/2, 3/4).
Answer:
224 pages total
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many total pages, you have to multiply the number of sections by the number of pages in each section. 14 sections times 16 pages per section equals a total of 224 total pages.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean absolute deviation (MAD), first find the mean (or average).
μ = (59 + 71 + 68 + 75 + 67) / 5
μ = 68
Next, subtract the mean from each value and take the absolute value.
|59 − 68| = 9
|71 − 68| = 3
|68 − 68| = 0
|75 − 68| = 7
|67 − 68| = 1
Sum the results and divide by the number of students.
MAD = (9 + 3 + 0 + 7 + 1) / 5
MAD = 4
