The values of a and b are a = \frac{3}{2} and b = 3, respectively.

In this question we need to solve the linear equation for each point, first for (x,y) = (b, 1) and later for (x,y) = (a, b).

If we know that (x,y) = (b, 1), then the value of b is:

6 = 30-8\cdot b

8\cdot b = 24

b = 3

If we know that (x,y) = (a, b) and b = 3, then the value of a is:

6\cdot b = 30 - 8\cdot a

18 = 30-8\cdot a

12 = 8\cdot a

a = \frac{3}{2}

The values of a and b are a = \frac{3}{2} and b = 3, respectively.

A political polling agency predicts candidate A will win an election with 63% of the votes. Their poll has a margin of error of
scoray [572]

Answer:

56% ≤ p ≤ 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Predicted % of votes to win for candidate A= 63%

Margin of Error in prediction = ±7%

Which inequality represents the predicted possible percent of votes, x, for candidate A?

Let the interval = p

Hence,

|p - prediction| = margin of error

|p - 63%| = ±7%

Hence,

Upper boundary : p = +7% + 63% = 70%

Lower boundary : p = - 7% + 63% = 56%

Hence,

Lower boundary ≤ p ≤ upper boundary

56% ≤ p ≤ 70%

Through: (-3,0), perp. to y = 3x - 1
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given: </u>

line y=3x-1

point (-3,0)

<u>Write:</u> equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given and passes through the point (-3,0)

<u>Solution:</u>

The slope of the given line is m=3

If m_1 is the slope of perpendicular line, then

m\cdot m_1=-1\\ \\3m_1=-1\\ \\m_1=-\dfrac{1}{3}

So, the equation of the needed line is y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.

Find b. This line passes through the point (-3,0), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

0=-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot (-3)+b\\ \\0=1+b\\ \\b=-1\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of 59 miles, and the crew is adding 3 miles to the roa
AlekseyPX

L = total length

D = number of days

they add 3 miles per day which = 3D

equation:  L = 59 +3D

 if they worked for 34 days, replace D with 34 to get:

L = 59 +3(34) =

L=59 + 102

L=161 miles total length after 34 days
