When using substitution, choose the best choice that describes a possible first step in solving
the following system of equations.
3x – 6y = -12
2x + y = 12
A. ADD (y) to both sides in the bottom equation
B. MULTIPLY the top equation by (-6)
C. SUBTRACT (2x) from both sides in the bottom equation
D. DIVIDE the top equation by (3)
E. SUBTRACT (-6y) to both sides of the top equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. SUBTRACT (2x) from both sides in the bottom equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]3x - 6y = -12[/tex]

[tex]2x + y = 12[/tex]

Required

The first step of a substitution method

In the second equation, notice that the coefficient of y is 1.

So, the first step is to make y the subject of the formula.

This is achieved by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation.

[tex]2x + y = 12[/tex]

[tex]2x - 2x + y = 12 - 2x[/tex]

[tex]y = 12 - 2x[/tex]

Hence: (c) is true

t a school. number of boys/number if girls =9/7. there are 116 more boys than girls. work out the total number of students at the school​

Answers

Answer:

928

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of boys to girls is 9:7, so boys are 9/(9+7) = 9/16 of the total, and the girls are 7/16

the difference is 9/16-7/16 = 2/16 = 1/8, so

x * 1/8 = 116

x = 116*8 = 928

A rectangle has an area of 48 square units and a perimeter of 32 units. What are its dimensions?

Answers

area is length x width, and perimeter is adding up all the sides together

What’s the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer:

y= -x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation in slope-intercept form, we naturally need both the slope and the y-intercept. Here, our y-intercept is -8, and our slope is -1. The general form of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Using our values of m = -1 and b = -8 then gives us the equation y = -x - 8.

C. 4 1/2 cups
D. 5.25 cups

Why?
please help

Answers

The answer is B.
Each person would get .75 cups. And there are two who don’t drink juice. .75 + .75 is 1.5

Answer:

B. 1.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

6/8 = 0.75

each person gets 0.75 each

Since 2 people chose not to drink the juice. the left overs would be 0.75*2

0.75*2=1.5

A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has four identical components, each with a probability of 0.2 of failing in less than 1000 hours. The subsystem will operate if any two of the four components are operating. Assume that the components act independently.a) Find the probability that exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.b) Find the probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.1536 = 15.36% probability that exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.

b) 0.9728 = 97.28% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they fail in less than 1000 hours, or they do not. The probability of a component failing in less than 1000 hours is independent of any other component. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

One subsystem has four identical components, each with a probability of 0.2 of failing in less than 1000 hours.

Four components means that [tex]n = 4[/tex]

Probability of 0.2 of failling means that 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 probability of not failling, so [tex]p = 0.8[/tex]

a) Find the probability that exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.

This is [tex]P(X = 2)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.8)^{2}.(0.2)^{2} = 0.1536[/tex]

0.1536 = 15.36% probability that exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.

b) Find the probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

It will operate if at least two compoents last longer than 1000 hours. So

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.8)^{2}.(0.2)^{2} = 0.1536[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.8)^{3}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.4096[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.8)^{4}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.4096[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.1536 + 0.4096 + 0.4096 = 0.9728[/tex]

0.9728 = 97.28% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

A baker uses 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon for every 2/3 can of pumpkin when making pumpkin muffins. How much cinnamon does the baker need for each can of pumpkin?

Answers

Answer:

9/8 teaspoon

Step-by-step explanation:

The original ratio is 0.75:0.66 (x:y). We need to find x when y = 1.

0.66*1.5 = 1

So, if the original y was multiplied by 1.5 to get 1 (which we need) then we can multiply the original x to get our answer.

0.75*1.5 = 1.125

Convert into fractional form:

1.125 = 9/8

Your answer is 9/8 teaspoon of cinnamon per one can of muffins.

number of Dave's coins = number of Zack's coins + 5

Bob can complete his Math homework in
2.5 hours, but if he works with Joe they can finish in 1.5 hours. How long would it take Joe to finish his homework on his own?

Answers

Answer:

3.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob completes his homework in 2.5 hours.

In 1 hour, he completes 1/2.5 of his homework.

Joe completes his homework in x hours.

In 1 hour, he completes 1/x of his homework.

Together, they complete the homework in 1.5 hours.

In 1 hour, they do 1/1.5 of the homework.

1/2.5 + 1/x = 1/1.5

Convert the decimal numbers in the numerators into fractions.

1/(5/2) + 1/x = 1/(3/2)

2/5 + 1/x = 2/3

Multiply both sides by the LCD, 15x.

6x + 15 = 10x

-4x = -15

x = 3.75

At the end of the month, a restaurant manager used the total food sales for the month and the total number of customers for the month to calculate the mean about spent per customer during that month was $12.59. Is this value a statistical or a parameter? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a parameter, I think. The population is limited to all of the restaurant's customers. Presumably they don't come in to look at the waitresses -- although that might happen. They are there for coffee donuts or a meal, so they are spending money, that's what all of them have in common.

So the population is very confined and very well defined.

The owner is finding a mean. Anything like this is a parameter which defines some aspect of the population.
