Solve for x, y, and z

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The solution is x=1,y=2,z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is ;\

2x−3y+4z=8...(1)

3x+4y−5z=−4...(2)

4x−5y+6z=12...(3)

Make x the subject in equation (1)

$x=\frac{8+3y-4z}{2}...(4)$

Put equation (4) into equation (2) and (3)

$3(\frac{8+3y-4z}{2})+4y-5z=-4$

Multiply through by;

$3(8+3y-4z)+8y-10z=-8$

Expand;

$24+9y-12z+8y-10z=-8$

Simplify;

$17y-22z=-32...(5)$

Equation (4) in (3)

$4(\frac{8+3y-4z}{2})-5y+6z=12$

$2(8+3y-4z)-5y+6z=12$

$16+6y-8z-5y+6z=12$

$y-2z=-4$

$y=2z-4...(6)$

Put equation (6) into equation (5)

$17(2z-4)-22z=-32$

$34z-68-22z=-32$

$34z-22z=-32+68$

$12z=36$

z=3

Put z=3 into equation (6)

y=2(3)-4=2

Put y=2 and z=3 into equation 4

$x=\frac{8+3(2)-4(3)}{2}=1$

The solution is x=1,y=2,z=3

9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of

netineya [11]

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 12, \sigma = 3$

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{16 - 12}{3}$

$Z = 1.33$

$Z = 1.33$ has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

a pile of sand has a weight of 90kg The sand is put into a small bag, a medium bag and a large bag in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7 Wor

just olya [345]

Hi there!

To split 90 kilos in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7 we must first realise that we have a total of 2 + 3 + 7 = 12 parts, in which we must split the total 90 kilos.

12 parts equal 90 kilo, and therefore
1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos.

1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos, and therefore
2 parts equal 7.5 × 2 = 15 kilos.

1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos, and therefore
3 parts equal 7.5 × 3 = 22.5 kilos.

1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos, and therefore
7 parts equal 7.5 × 7 = 52.5 kilos.

Hence, 90 kilos in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7
gives 15 kg, 22.5 kg and 52.5 kg.

~ Hope this helps you!
