Answer:

There is no solution to this system of equations. The lines do not intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : See if either x or y can be eliminated.

2x-6y=8

2(x-3y=9)

2x - 6y = 8

2x - 6y = 18

There is <em>no solution</em> to this system of equations as they don't intersect. Notice how we can't cancel out the x or y without canceling the other unknown variable?

Proof : Rearranging the equations above into y = mx + b form, we get

Equation 1 : y = 1/3x - 4/3

Equation 2 : y = 1/3x - 3

A system of equations has no solution when the slopes are the same and both equations have different y intercepts.

2x + 8y = 5<br> 24x – 4y = –15

slega [8]

2x + 8y = 5

2/ 24x - 4y = -15

2x + 8y = 5

48x - 8x = -30

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

50x = -25

x = -1/2

2 * -1/2 + 8y = 5

-1 + 8y = 5

8y = 6

y = 6/8

y = 3/4

x = -1/2 y = 3/4

The lifetimes of 10,000 watch batteries are normally distributed the mean lifetime is 500 days the standard deviation is 60 days

Lelu [443]

Given:
μ = 500 days, the population mean
σ = 60 days, the population standard deviation

Therefore
μ + σ = 560
μ - σ = 440
μ + 2σ = 620
μ - 2σ = 380
μ + 3σ = 680
μ - 3σ = 320

The figure shown below illustrates the normal distribution
About 68% of the total area lies in x = (μ-σ, μ+σ)
About 95% of the total area lies in x = (μ-2σ, μ+2σ)
About 99.7% of the total area lies in x = (μ-3σ, μ+3σ).
