Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=24

x+2y=12

add the two equations

(5x-2y)+(x+2y)=24+12

6x=36

x=6

Plug in x=6 into any of the two equations

5(6)-2y=24

30-2y=24

-6= -2y

y= 3

x=6

y=3

(6,3)

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The total amount of meters in one lap is 966

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The total amount of meters in one lap is the same that the perimeter of the rectangular playground

The perimeter of the rectangular playground is equal to

$P=2(L+W)$

we have

$L=320\ m\\W=163\ m$

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 46.0 and 56.

barxatty [35]

Answer: 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Interval for uniform distribution : [46.0 minutes, 56.0 minutes]

The probability density function will be :-

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{56-46}=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1\ \ , 46$

The probability that a given class period runs between 50.75 and 51.25 minutes is given by :-

$P(50.75$

Hence, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.75 and 51.25 minutes = 0.05
