The sum of two numbers is 72 and their difference is 40. Using elimination method

Mathematics

Answer:

here's what we know:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

---------------

2a = 98

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 49

So we now have:

49 + b = 72

and:

49 - b = 26

Subtract 49 from both sides:

b = 23

and

-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23

Answer:

The linear regression model that will determine approximate Fat Grams (y) as a function of Calories (x) is given by

 y = 0.054 x - 2.105

Hence the correct option is B.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find X⋅Y and  as it was done in the table below.

Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

ΣX = 1560,  ΣY = 67,     ΣX.Y = 14860 ,   ∑(\textbf{X}^{2}) =  337600

Step 3: Use the following equations to find a and b:

a  =  = -2.105

b = \frac{n.\sum{XY}  -   \sum{X}.\sum{Y}}{n.\sum{(X^{2})}- (\sum{X})^{2} } = 0.054

Step 4: Substitute a and b in regression equation formula

y  = a + b⋅x= −2.105 + 0.054⋅x

The linear regression model that will determine approximate Fat Grams (y) as a function of Calories (x) is given by

 y = 0.054 x - 2.105

Hence the correct option is B.)

What is the measure of X! Please help if you know how to do this!
deff fn [24]

Answer:

28°

Step-by-step explanation:

You're given that line DE and line FG are parallel and KL and FG are perpendicular. Then you can find out angle ∠BAC by using the vertical angles property: ∠BAC=62°. Then since KL and FG are perpendicular ∠ABC = 90°. So you find the angle ∠BCA by finding the sum of interior angles: 62+90+∠BCA=180, therefore ∠BCA is 28°. Finally, ∠x or ∠JCG = 28 because ∠JCG and ∠BCA are vertical angles and congruent.

which of the following must describe an irrational number? (1pt) a number with a nonterminating decimal expansion a number with
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a number with a non repeating and non terminating decimal expansion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational numbers are numbers which cannot be expressed as fractions, they are real numbers which cannot be expressed as rational numbers such as the square root of natural numbers other than perfect squares.

Irrational numbers are non repeating, non terminating decimal numbers with no group of the digits repeated. Therefore the decimal expansion does not terminate but continues without repetition example is π.

In triangle abc, we have angle bac = 60 degrees and angle abc = 45 degrees. the bisector of angle a intersects line b at point t
Helen [10]
In my estimations you have a triangle with 2 angles and an altitude or height.  You have to find the base of the triangle in order to find the area.  I set up the triangle and sine the 60 degree angle was bisected I know that the vertex angle is 30 in my right triangle.  I used the tangent ratio of 30 to find the base of that triangle and then multiplied it by 2 to get that the whole base measure is 27.71281292.  Then I multiplied it by the height I was given of 24 and divided the whole mess in half to get the area.  332.553 units squared.
