Eliminate the x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]2 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminate the x:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-2y=6\\3x+y=4\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Multiply by (-3)}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3(x-2y)=(-3)(6)\\3x+y=4\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3x+6y=-18\\3x+y=4\end{array}\right}\\.\qquad\qquad7y=-14\\.\qquad\qquad y=-2

Eliminate the y:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-2y=6\\3x+y=4\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Multiply by 2}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-2y=6\\2(3x+y)=(2)(4)\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-2y=6\\6x+2y=8\end{array}\right}\\\\.\qquad7x=14\\.\qquad x=2

A pizza place has pizzas in 2 different sizes, with 8 different flavors for the crust, and 8 different toppings.
mamaluj [8]

Use multiplication:

2\text{ sizes}*8\text{ flavors}*8\text{ toppings}=\large\boxed{128\text{ pizzas}}

This question is basically the same as the other question of yours that I answered, so the explanation is very similar:

You can imagine the possibilities as leaves on a tree. Your tree has 2 large branches to represent the two possible sizes. Each of those branch off into 8 smaller branches, each representing a crust flavor. Each one of the smaller branches has 8 leaves to represent a different topping. Each leaf is a combination of a size, a crust flavor, and a topping, so it represents a complete pizza. Your job is to calculate the number of leaves.

A circle has a sector with area 33 pi and a central angle of 11/6 pi radians. What is the area of a circle?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

36π

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given as:

A = \pi r^2

where r = radius of the circle

The area of a sector of a circle is given as:

A_s = \frac{\alpha }{2\pi} * \pi r^2

where α = central angle in radians

Since \pi r^2 is the area of a circle, A, this implies that:

A_s = \frac{\alpha }{360}  * A

A circle has a sector with area 33 pi and a central angle of 11/6 pi radians.

Therefore, the area of the circle, A, is:

33 \pi = \frac{\frac{11 \pi}{6} }{2 \pi} * A\\\\33\pi = \frac{11}{12} * A\\\\=> A = \frac{33\pi * 12}{11}\\ \\A = \frac{396 \pi}{11} \\\\A = 36\pi

The area of the circle is 36π.

How does the increase in confidence level affect the interval width and margin of error?
meriva

Answer:

1. Three things influence the margin of error in a confidence interval estimate of a population mean: sample size, variability in the population, and confidence level. For each of these quantities separately, explain briefly what happens to the margin of error as that quantity increases.

Answer: As sample size increases, the margin of error decreases. As the variability in the population increases, the margin of error increases. As the confidence level increases, the margin of error increases. Incidentally, population variability is not something we can usually control, but more meticulous collection of data can reduce the variability in our measurements. The third of these—the relationship between confidence level and margin of error seems contradictory to many students because they are confusing accuracy (confidence level) and precision (margin of error). If you want to be surer of hitting a target with a spotlight, then you make your spotlight bigger.

If the sales tax in your city is 11.4%, and an item costs $160 before tax, how much tax would you pay on that item? Round to the
Oksana_A [137]
First we calculate the tax on the item:
11.4%($160) = 11.4(160)/100 = 18.24
hence the tax for the item is $18.24
The total price for the item would be:
160 + 18.24 = 178.24
hence the total price for the item including tax is:
$<span>178.24</span>
