System 1: The solution is (x, y) = (-4, 5)

System 2: The solution is $(x, y) = (\frac{11}{3}, -3)$

Solution:

Given system of equations are:

2x + 3y = 7 ------ eqn 1

-3x - 5y = -13 --------- eqn 2

We can solve by elimination method

Multiply eqn 1 by 3

6x + 9y = 21 ------ eqn 3

Multiply eqn 2 by 2

-6x - 10y = -26 ------- eqn 4

Add eqn 3 and eqn 4

6x + 9y -6x - 10y = 21 - 26

-y = -5

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 in eqn 1

2x + 3(5) = 7

2x + 15 = 7

2x = -8

x = -4

Thus the solution is (x, y) = (-4, 5)

<h3>Second system of equation is:</h3>

8 - y = 3x ------ eqn 1

2y + 3x = 5 ----- eqn 2

We can solve by susbtitution method

From given,

y = 8 - 3x ----- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

2(8 - 3x) + 3x = 5

16 - 6x + 3x = 5

3x = 16 - 5

3x = 11

$x = \frac{11}{3}$

Substitute the above value of x in eqn 3

y = 8 - 3x

$y = 8 - 3 \times \frac{11}{3}\\\\y = 8 - 11\\\\y = -3$

Thus the solution is $(x, y) = (\frac{11}{3}, -3)$

During a sale, 20-cent candy bars were sold at 3 for 50 cents. How much is saved on 9 bars?

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bar of candy = $0.20

3 bars of candy = $0.50

To solve, multiply for both:

If you pay for each candy bar individually, they each cost $0.20. Multiply 9 with 0.20:

9 x 0.20 = $1.80

If you pay for the candy bars by 3's, they cost $0.50 each pack. Divide 9 with 3, then multiply by 0.50:

9/3 = 3

3 x 0.50 = $1.50

Subtract the total cost of the individual from the pack:

$1.80 - $1.50 = $0.30

. $0.30 is your answer.

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 15 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass

BARSIC [14]

Calculate the volume of sand, the cone will be completely filled and the cylinder will have sand up to the 30 mm level.

Volume of sand will = the volume of the cone:
= 1/3 * pi * (6 mm)^2 * 15
= 1/3 * pi * 36 * 15 =180 pi cubic mm

the cylinder will have a volume of sand equal to:
= pi * (6 mm)^2 * 30 mm
= pi * 36 sq mm * 30 mm
= 1080 pi cubic mm

The total sand is the sum:
= 1080 pi cubic mm +180 pi cubic mm
= 1260 pi cubic mm.

A bakery sells rolls in units of a dozen. The demand X (in 1000 units) for rolls has a gamma distribution with parameters α = 3,

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The value is $E(X) = \$ 1.7067$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The parameters are α = 3, θ = 0.5

The cost of making a unit on the first day is c = $2

The selling price of a unit on the first day is s = $5

The selling price of a leftover unit on the second day is v = $ 1

Generally the profit of a unit on the first day is

$p_1 = 5 - 2$

$p_1 = \$3$

The profit of a unit on the second day is

$p_2 = 1 - 2$

=> $p_2 = - \$1$

Generally the probability of making profit greater than $ 1 is mathematically represented as

$P(X > 1 ) = Gamma (X ,\alpha , \theta)$

=> $P(X > 1 ) = Gamma (1 ,3 , 0.5)$

Now from the gamma distribution table we have that

$P(X > 1 ) = 0.67668$

Generally the probability of making profit less than or equal to $ 1 is mathematically represented as

$P(X \le 1 ) = 1 - P(X > 1 )$

=> $P(X \le 1 ) = 1 - 0.67668$

=> $P(X \le 1 ) = 0.32332$

So the probability of making $3 is $P(X > 1 ) = 0.67668$

and the probability of making -$1 is $P(X \le 1 ) = 0.32332$

Generally the value of profit per day is mathematically represented as

$E(X) = 3 * P(X > 1 ) + (-1 * P(X \le 1 ) )$

=> $E(X) = 3 * 0.67668 + (-1 * 0.32332 )$

=> $E(X) = \$ 1.7067$

Semenov [28]

Number of ways of choosing two pair of sneakers from three pairs named A, B, C is given by 3C2 (3 combination 2) = 3! / 2!(3 - 2)! = 3! / (2! x 1!) = (3 x 2) / (2 x 1) = 3.

Therefore, the sample space is given by S = {AB, AC, BC}
