2x+3y= -17 
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x. 
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to: 
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you: 
-15y=85 
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get: 
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one. 
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10 
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7

Tyrell went to the park to go jogging. The beginning of the running path has an elevation of -2 feet. The highest elevation on t
xeze [42]

Answer:

16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference in a math question always signifies that we are subtracting. When finding the difference between an elevation you need to subtract the highest point first from the lowest point or starting point. Therefore in this scenario, we subtract 14 feet which is the highest point from the starting point which is -2 ft. Since the starting point is at a negative elevation, the negatives will cancel out and becomes a positive.

14 - (-2) = x ... negative cancel out and become a positive or addition

14 + 2 = x

16 ft = x

Finally, we can see that the difference between these two points is 16 ft.

grigory [225]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is the statement or claim that is believed or assumed to be true. In this case, the null hypothesis is "They believe that 40% of first-time borrowers take out smaller loans than other borrowers". Since we are dealing with proportion, we will denote it with p. The null hypothesis would be

p = 0.4

The alternative hypothesis is what the researcher expects or predicts. It is the statement that is believed to be true if the null hypothesis is rejected. The alternative hypothesis is "They perform a hypothesis test to determine if the percentage is the same or different from 40%". It would be written as

p ≠ 0.4
