Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = 24 ------ (1)

3x + 4y = 2 ------ (2)

(1) × 4,

8x - 12y = 96 ------ (3)

(2) × 3,

9x + 12y = 6 ------ (4)

(3) + (4)

17x = 96 + 6

= 102

x = 102 ÷ 17

= 6

Sub x = 6 into (2),

3(6) + 4y = 2

18 + 4y = 2

4y = 2 - 18

= -16

y = -16 ÷ 4

= -4

Therefore,

x - y = 6 - (-4)

= 6 + 4

= 10

Lizette wanted to see if it would be possible to use a little less materials in a tea infuser but still not be required to be at

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Considering the volume of a rectangular prism, since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

The volume of a rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:

V = lwh.

The original dimensions are:

h = 7.9 cm, l = 3 cm, w = 1.5.

Hence the volume in cm³ was:

V = 7.9 x 3 x 1.5 = 35.55 cm³.

The infuser was filled to 80% capacity, hence:

Vf = 0.8 x 35.55 = 28.44 cm³.

For the new dimensions, we have that h = 7 cm, hence the volume is:

Vn = 7 x 3 x 1.5 = 31.5 cm³.

28.44/31.5 x 100% = 90.29%.

Since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

In class A, John got 85 for his first test John's class mean was 75 and standard deviation was 5. In class B, Kathy got 80 in he

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

b. Kathy

Step-by-step explanation:

We compare each of their score by how far away from the mean when in term of the standard deviation. Using the following formula

$\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

For John he is (85 - 75)/5 = 2.

For Kathy she is (80 - 50)/10 = 3.

Since Kathy is 3 standard deviation better than her class' average, while John is only 2's. We conclude that Kathy did better.
