Answer:

Malik substituted 60 for y instead of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation the computation of error that Malik make first when solving the equation is shown below:-

First, we will find the value of x

\frac{2}{5} x - 4(60) = 10

\frac{2}{5} x = 10 + 240

\frac{2}{5} x = 250

x = 625

Now, we have

\frac{2}{5} x - 4 y = 10

we will solve the above equation, to find the value of y

24 - 4y = 10

4y = 24 - 10

4y = 14

y = \frac{14}{4}

y = \frac{7}{2}

So, from the above calculation, the correct option is

Malik substituted 60 for y instead of x.

Annette [7]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A cube is a prism whose sides all have the same length. You can think of a cube like the three dimensional version of a square. In this problem, we know that Mary is using a microscope in order to look at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face has side length:

s=0.1mm

This diagram is shown in the first figure below. A crystal's square face is one of the six faces of the cube. So in order to draw it we need to know how many units we'll have in each side. Since we know that 1 unit on the grid represents 0.01mm, then:

No. \ units=\frac{0.1mm}{0,01mm}=10

So we will have 10 units that measure 0.01mm in each side. This is shown in the second figure below.

The system shown is _____.<br><br> equivalent<br><br> independent<br><br> inconsistent
Rzqust [24]
We know that
If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent.
When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line
so
the system has an infinite number of solutions

If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent.
<span>
therefore
the system is </span>consistent, dependent and <span>equivalent
</span><span>
the answer is 
</span>equivalent

Clint is in study hall reading the hunger games after 20 minutes he is on page 151 after 45 minutes he's on page 181 how many pa
Mademuasel [1]

After 20 minutes Clint is on page = 151

After 45 minutes Clint is on page = 181

Time slot = 45-20=25 minutes

Difference in pages in 25 minutes = 181-151=30 pages.

Lets suppose Clint is reading each page at same pace.

So , In 25 minutes, he can read = 30 pages

In 1 minute he can read = \frac{30}{25}=1.2 pages

Initial time is 20 minutes, so he can read the number of pages in 20 minutes = 20\times1.2=24

So, number of pages Clint read prior to study hall were =

151-24=127 pages.

Legalization of marijuana, Part I. The 2010 General Social Survey asked 1,578 US res- idents: \Do you think the use of marijuana
mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample statistics are used to estimate population value. Since 48% is a sample proportion, therefore, it is a sample statistic.

b) For 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.

\hat{p}\pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}= 0.61\pm 0.61\sqrt{\frac{0.61(1-0.61)}{1578}}=0.61\pm 0.024 \ or (0.586, 0.634).

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of US residents who think marijuana should be made legal lies between 58.6% and 63.4%.

c)

\\np=1578(0.61)=962.58

\\n(1-p)=1578(1-0.61)=615.42

Since both np and n(1-p), are at least 10, the normal model is a good approximation for these data.

d) As the lower limit of confidence interval is less than 0.5, less than 50% population is also a plausible value of true proportion. This means the statement "Majority of Americans think marijuana should be legalized" is not justified.

Consider the incomplete paragraph proof. Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle) Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° tria
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

(C)Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle)

To Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is \sqrt{2} times the length of each leg.

Proof:

\angle XYZ$ is 90^\circ$ and the other 2 angles are 45^\circ. \\\overline{XY} = a, \overline{YZ}= a, \overline{XZ}= c.\\

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Since a=b in an isosceles triangle:

a^2 + a^2 = c^2\\$Combining like terms\\2a^2 = c^2\\$Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.\\\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{2a^2}  \\\\c=a\sqrt{2} \\

Therefore, the next step is to Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.
