4x + y = 4
2x + 6y = 24

Which action creates an equivalent system that will eliminate one variable when they are combined?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(There's actually a few ways of solving this, but here's one)

Multiplying the second equation by 2.

EDIT: Because the question says it will eliminate a variable "when combined", implying adding the systems together. The actual correct answer is multiplying the second equation by -2.

(multiplying the second equation by -2 is the actual answer, my apologies)

Step-by-step explanation:

So it's clear that they are referring to the elimination method and not the substitution method for solving systems of equations.

In the elimination method, you subtract 2 equations in the hopes of the elimination of a variable.

If you multiply the second equation, 2x + 6y = 24, by 2, you get, 4x + 12y = 48.

This is helpful because when you subtract this from the first one, you eliminate x.

4x + y = 4

-(4x + 12y = 48)

is

-11y = -44

c) To find slope, choose any two points.

(2,16)  & (4 , 31)

[tex]\boxed{slope= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}[/tex]

         [tex]\sf =\dfrac{31-16}{4-2}\\\\=\dfrac{15}{2}=7.5[/tex]

The slope is 7.5, which means that Kobby's puppy gained 7.5 pounds a month for the first 6 months.

a) Equation of line in slope -intercept form: y  = mx +b

[tex]y =\dfrac{15}{2}x+b[/tex]

Now, substitute the point (2 ,16) in the above equaiton and find the y-intercept b.

[tex]\sf 16 =\dfrac{15}{2}*2+b\\\\16=15+b\\\\16-15=b[/tex]

b = 1

Equation of the line:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Variance=0.0016

Standard deviation is the square root of variance.

sigma=sqrt(0.0016)=0.04

mean=0.9 inch

Calculating z for 0.936 inch

z = (0.936 - 0.9)/0.04

= 0.036/0.04

= 0.9

Using normal distribution table

P(x<=0.936 inch)

= P(0.9)

= 0.81594

P(x>0.936) + P(x<=0.936) = 1

P(x>0.936)

= 1 - P(x<=0.936)

= 1 - 0.81594

Some pens are shared among three students anne,lucy, and John.Anne gets 5 times many pens as lucy, and lucy gets 2 pens less than john. Suppose John gets x pens, how many pens does anne get in terms of x

Answers

Using a system of equations, it is found that Anne gets 5x - 10 pens.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, we consider that John gets x pens.

Lucy gets 2 pens less than john, hence:

L = x - 2.

Anne gets 5 times many pens as lucy, hence:

A = 5L = 5(x - 2) = 5x - 10.

The formula of r is t/t-2 for equation t=2r/r-1.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

The given equation is t = 2r/r-1

t equal to two times of r divided by r minus one

We need to find the formula for r

t = 2r/r-1

Apply cross multiplication

t(r-1)=2r

Apply distributive property on left side

tr-t=2r

Subtract 2r on both sides

tr-2r=t

r(t-2)=t

Divide both sides by t-2

r=t/t-2

It is a widely held belief that a typical piece of printer paper with a thickness of 0.1 mm can go through at most 7 folds.

(WILL MARK BRAINLIEST) Keisha is playing a game using a wheel divided into 8 equal sectors, as shown in the diagram below. Each time the spinner lands on blue, she will win a prize.

If Keisha spins this wheel twice, what is the probability that she will win a prize on both spins?

Answers

Answer:

6/11

Each time you spin the pointer there is a 3/8 for each of the two spins. That means there is a 6/11 chance of the pointer landing on blue for both times the pointer is spun.


Step-by-step explanation:

Each spin there are 8 possible sections the spinner can land on. The circle has 3 blue sections. The question asks what is the probability of the spinner landing on blue for BOTH spins. This means that you would have to show the denominator as 16. Each time you spin the pointer there is a 3/8 chance it will touch blue. When you spin it two times there is a 6/16 probability that the spinner will land on blue for each of the times the pointer is spun.

Rosa invests $1100 in one account and $1300 in an account paying 3 % higher interest. At the end of one year she had earned $255 in interest. At what rates did she invest?

$1100 invested at __%

$1300 invested at __%

Answers

Answer:

$1100 at 9%$1300 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest earned in one year is the product of the interest rate and the amount invested at that rate. The total interest earned is the sum of the amounts of interest earned on each investment.

Let x represent the lower interest rate. Then the higher rate is x+0.03 and the total interest earned is ...

  1100x +1300(x+0.03) = 255

  2400x +39 = 255 . . . simplify

  2400x = 216 . . . . . . subtract 39

  x = 216/2400 = 0.09 = 9% . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Rosa invested $1100 at 9%, and $1300 at 12%.

Using the z-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the population, it is found that the 90% confidence interval for the mean cholesterol levels of his patients is (5.59, 6.73).

What is a t-distribution confidence interval?

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the sample.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.90[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.645.

Researching on the internet, the other parameters are given by:

[tex]\overline{x} = 6.16, \sigma = 1.3, n = 14[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 6.16 - 1.645\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{14}} = 5.59[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 6.16 + 1.645\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{14}} = 6.73[/tex]
