Step-by-step explanation:

-5y + 8 = -7

subtract 8 from both sides

-5y = -15

now, divide -5 from both sides

y = 3

In the local frisbee league, teams have 7 members and each of the 4 teams takes turns hosting tournaments. At each tournament, e

mars1129 [50]

There are 4 teams in total and each team has 7 members. One of the team will be the host team.

Tournament committee will be made from 3 members from the host team and 2 members from each of the three remaining teams. Selecting the members for tournament committee is a combinations problem. We have to select 3 members out 7 for host team and 2 members out of 7 from each of the remaining 3 teams.

So total number of possible 9 member tournament committees will be equal to:

$7C3 \times 7C2 \times 7C2 \times 7C2\\ \\ = 324135$

This is the case when a host team is fixed. Since any team can be the host team, there are 4 possible ways to select a host team. So the total number of possible 9 member tournament committee will be:

$9 \times 324135\\ \\ =2917215$

Therefore, there are 2917215 possible 9 member tournament committees

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sleep Deprivation

In a recent study, volunteers who had 8 hours of sleep were three times more likely to answer correctly on a math test than were sleep-deprived participants.

(a) Identify the sample used in the study.

(b) What is the sample's population?

(d) Make an inference based on the results of the study?

Solution

A. The samples used is the hours of sleep and math test scores of the volunteers

B. The samples population is hours of sleep and math test scores of people in general

C. The part of the study that represent the descriptive branch of statistics is "three times more likely"

D.Inference: To perform well in a math test, a person should get at least 8 hours of sleep the night before.

Anyone can help me solve this equation using cross multiplying

Natali5045456 [20]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = 1 or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The notion of "cross-multiplying" is the idea that the numerator on the left is multiplied by the denominator on the right, and the numerator on the right is multiplied by the denominator on the left. This looks like ...

$\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\ \longrightarrow\ (x-1)(3x-1)=(7)(2x-2)$

Then the solution proceeds by eliminating parentheses, and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

$3x^2-4x+1=14x-14\\\\3x^2-18x+15=0\qquad\text{subtract $14x-14$}\\\\x^2-6x+5=0 \qquad\text{divide by 3}\\\\(x-1)(x-5)=0\qquad\text{factor}\\\\x\in\{1,5\}$

Comment on "cross multiply"

Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes what the result looks like. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The one and only rule in solving Algebra problems is "whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.

What looks like "cross multiply" is really "multiply by the product of the denominators and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.

$\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\\\\\frac{x-1}{7}\times7(3x-1)=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\times7(3x-1)\\\\(x-1)(3x-1)=(2x-2)(7)\qquad\textit{looks like}\text{ cross multiply}$
