Mathematics

Elodia [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 5, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 0 --- Equation 1

Equation 1×3: <u>6x</u> + 15y = 0 --- Equation 2

3x - 4y = 23 --- Equation 3

Equation 3×2: <u>6x</u> - 8y = 46 --- Equation 3

<em>We will be eliminating 6x from Equation 2. </em>

Equation 3-2: 6x - 8y - 6x - 15y = 46-0

-23y = 46

y = 46 ÷ -23

<u>y = -2 </u>

Substitute y = -2 into Equation 1:

2x + 5y = 0

2x + 5(-2) = 0

2x + (-10) = 0

2x - 10 = 0

2x = 10

x = 10 ÷ 2

<u>x = 5 </u>

aalyn [17]

Answer:

A store receives a shipment of 5,000 MP3 players. In a previous shipment of 5,000 MP3 players, 300 were defective. A store clerk generates random numbers to simulate a random sample of this shipment. The clerk lets the numbers 1 through 300 represent defective MP3 players, and the numbers 301 through 5,000 represent working MP3 players. The results are given.

948 628 87 4,987 938 468 3,589 298 2,459 2,286

Based on this sample, how many of the MP3 players might the clerk predict would be defective?

The manager would expect

defective players in the shipment.
