$(x-9):2=4 \\\\ x-9=4*2 \\\\ x-9=8 \\\\ x=8+9 \\\\ \boxed{x=17}$

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite number of solutions?

irga5000 [103]

b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to calculate value of b so that given system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3}\end{array}$

Let us bring the equations in same form for sake of simplicity in comparison

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-6 x+y-b=0 \Rightarrow (1)} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y=-6} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y+6=0 \Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Now we have two equations

$\begin{array}{l}{-6 x+y-b=0\Rightarrow(1)} \\\\ {-6 x+y+6=0\Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Let us first see what is requirement for system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

If $a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0$ and $a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0$ are two equation

$\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ then the given system of equation has no infinitely many solutions.

In our case,

$\begin{array}{l}{a_{1}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{1}=1 \text { and } c_{1}=-\mathrm{b}} \\\\ {a_{2}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{2}=1 \text { and } c_{2}=6} \\\\ {\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{-6}{-6}=1} \\\\ {\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{1}{1}=1} \\\\ {\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}=\frac{-b}{6}}\end{array}$

As for infinitely many solutions $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 1=1=\frac{-b}{6}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow6=-b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow b=-6}\end{array}$

Hence b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$

You are going to mix a gallon bucket of window cleaner. The instructions direct you to mix 1 part cleaner to 3 parts water. How

Ira Lisetskai [31]

3 parts water
clean:water=1:3
1:3=xcleaner:1gallon
1/3=xcleaner/1gallon
times 3gallon both sides
1gallon=3xcleaner
divide both sides by 3
1/3 gallon=xcleaner

therfor you need 1/3 gallon of cleaner

The table shows the results of an experiment in which subjects taking either a drug or a placebo either reported fatigue or did

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Therefore, the correct options are;

-P(fatigue) = 0.44

$P(fatigue \left | \right drug)$ = 0.533

--P(drug and fatigue) = 0.32

P(drug)·P(fatigue) = 0.264

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have that for dependent events,

$P(A \, and \, B)= P(A)\times P(B\left | \right A )$

From the options, we have;

$P(fatigue \left | \right drug)$ = 0.533

P(drug) = 0.6

P(drug and fatigue) = 0.32

Therefore

P(drug and fatigue) = P(drug)× $P(fatigue \left | \right drug)$

= 0.6 × 0.533 = 0.3198 ≈ 0.32 = P(drug and fatigue)

Therefore, the correct options are;

-P(fatigue) = 0.44

$P(fatigue \left | \right drug)$ = 0.533

--P(drug and fatigue) = 0.32

P(drug)·P(fatigue) = 0.264

Since P(fatigue) = 0.44 ∴ P(drug) = 0.264/0.44 = 0.6.
