Hee Sun wants to estimate the average world length in a book. She randomly chooses 20 words in the book, as shown. Based on this

sample, which is the best estimate of the mean word length in the book? (I chose D, but I’m not sure if I’m correct.)

Solve the following using Substitution method<br> 2x – 5y = -13<br><br> 3x + 4y = 15

Digiron [165]

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Solve the following using Substitution method

2x – 5y = -13

3x + 4y = 15

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 2 x - 5 y = - 13 } \\ { 3 x + 4 y = 15 } \end{array} \right.$

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

$2x-5y=-13, \: 3x+4y=15$

Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

$2x-5y=-13$

Add 5y to both sides of the equation.

$2x=5y-13$

Divide both sides by 2.

$x=\frac{1}{2}\left(5y-13\right) \\$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}\\$ times 5y - 13.

$x=\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2} \\$

Substitute $\frac{5y-13}{2}\\$ for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

$3\left(\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2}\right)+4y=15 \\$

Multiply 3 times $\frac{5y-13}{2}\\$ .

$\frac{15}{2}y-\frac{39}{2}+4y=15 \\$

Add $\frac{15y}{2} \\$ to 4y.

$\frac{23}{2}y-\frac{39}{2}=15 \\$

Add $\frac{39}{2}\\$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{23}{2}y=\frac{69}{2} \\$

Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$\large \underline{ \underline{ \sf \: y=3 }}$

Substitute 3 for y in $x=\frac{5}{2}y-\frac{13}{2}\\$ . Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

$x=\frac{5}{2}\times 3-\frac{13}{2} \\$

Multiply 5/2 times 3.

$x=\frac{15-13}{2} \\$

Add $-\frac{13}{2}\\$ to $\frac{15}{2}\\$ by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

$\large\underline{ \underline{ \sf \: x=1 }}$

The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

$\huge\boxed{ \boxed{\bf \: x=1, \: y=3 }}$

Select the expression that represents the simplified difference.

Setler79 [48]

The simplified expression for the given function is 2x + 4 - ( 1 / x-1). The correct option is A.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that the functions are f(x) = x + 2 and h(x) = 1 / x-1. The value of the function 2f(x) – h(x) will be calculated as,

E = 2f(x) – h(x)

E = 2( x + 2 ) - ( 1 / x-1)

E = 2x + 4 - (1/x-1)
