Answer:

First number is -2.5

Second number 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.

To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2

Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.

To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10

4x - 3y = 2

2x + 3y =10

4x - 2x = 2x

2x = -5

x= -2.5

The first number is -2.5

By using Substitution

2x + 3y = 10

2(-2.5) + 3y = 10

-5 + 3y = 10

3y = 10 +5

3y =15

y = 5

The second number is 5

....To check my answer

-5 + 15 = 10

Answer:

probability that their average salary is more than $77,500 is 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

standard error

= 10,000/sqrt(16)

=10,000/4

= 2500 

(77,500 - 75000)/2500

2,500/2500

= 1 

p (z > 1) = .1587

So, the probability that their average salary is more than $77,500 is 0.1587

Answer 16., 17., and 18., Text me after you have..!
musickatia [10]
I'm not quite sure how I'd attach a picture of my working so I'll explain the method.

16) I multiplied both 3.5 and 40 by ten so that I could divide them to find the number of servings. 35 divided by 400 is 11 remainder 15. If you then divide the remainder by 10 you get 11 servings and 1.5 ounces left over.

17) if you add up 26, 17, and 37 inches you get 80 inches, or just over 6 feet. Hence, he should buy an 8 foot length rod in order to have as little waste as possible.

18) 12.25 pounds is 196 ounces. Hence, the shipping rate at $0.26/ounce would end up being $50.96. From this we can see that the flat-rate box at $25 is less expensive.
