Start by getting one of the equations in terms of one variable, in this case lets put the first equation in terms of y

2x+y=3 ---> y=3-2x

now we plug that into the second equation

5x-2y=12 ---> 5x-2(3-2x)=12

we can then multiply and simplify

5x-2(3-2x)=12 ---> 5x-6+4x=12 ---> 9x-6=12 ---> 9x=18 ---> x=2

we can now plug x=2 into an equation to solve for y

2(2)+y=3 ---> 4+y=3 ---> y=-1

2x+y=3 =4x+2y=6
5x-2y=12. =5x-2y=12
--------------------------------
9x=18: x=2
4+y=3:y=-1

"How much do students pay, on average, for textbooks during the first semester in college? From a random sample of 400 students
dezoksy [38]

Answer: The margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sample size = 400

Mean = $357.75

Standard deviation = $37.89

At 95% confidence level, z = 1.96

We first find the margin of error.

Margin of error is given by

z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{37.89}{\sqrt{400}}\\\\=3.71

95% confidence interval would be

\bar{x}\pm \text{margin of error}\\\\=357.75\pm 3.71\\\\=(357.75-3.71,357.75+3.71)\\\\=(354.04,361.46)

Hence, the margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.

A carton measures 3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. A machine can fill the carton with packing material in 3 seconds. How long would i
True [87]
1) we calculate the volume of the first carton:
volume=length x width x height
volume=3 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft=12 ft³

Therefore: 
A machine can fill 12 ft³ in 3 seconds.

2) we calculate the volume of the second carton. 
volume=length x width x heigth
volume=4 ft * 5 ft * 6 ft=120 ft³

3) we calculate the time that the machine needs for fill the second carton with packing material by the rule of three.

12 ft³---------------------3 seconds
120 ft³--------------------      x

x=(120 ft³ * 3 seconds) / 12 ft³=30 seconds.

answer: 30 seconds.
