Solve the system of linear equations using multiplication.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(8,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

3x+3y=21

6x+12y=36

Since I prefer to use smaller numbers I'm going to divide both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the equation equation by 6.

This gives me the system:

x+y=7

x+2y=6

We could solve the first equation for x and replace the second x with that.

Let's do that.

x+y=7

Subtract y on both sides:

x=7-y

So we are replacing the second x in the second equation with (7-y) which gives us:

(7-y)+2y=6

7-y+2y=6

7+y=6

y=6-7

y=-1

Now recall the first equation we arranged so that x was the subject. I'm referring to x=7-y.

We can now find x given that y=-1 using the equation x=7-y.

Let's do that.

x=7-y with y=-1:

x=7-(-1)

x=7+1

x=8

So the solution is (8,-1).

We can check this point by plugging it into both equations.

If both equations render true for that point, then we have verify the solution.

Let's try it.

3x+3y=21 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

3(8)+3(-1)=21

24+(-3)=21

21=21 is a true equation so the "solution" looks promising still.

6x+12y=36 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

6(8)+12(-1)=36

48+(-12)=36

36=36 is also true so the solution has been verified since both equations render true for that point.

Division of two quantities is expressed as the ____ of those two quantities.
andreev551 [17]


Division of two quantities is expressed as the  quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient  is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers.  One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is  by employing the long division method where the quotient  value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.

An engineering school reports that 53% of its students were male (M), 35% of its students were between the ages of 18 and 20 (A)
erik [133]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                      18-20                  Not 18-20           Total

Male                0.23                    0.35                 0.58

Female            0.16                     0.26                0.42

Total                0.39                    0.61                   1

P(female or between 18-20) = P(female) + P(18-20) - P(Female and 18-20)

P(female or between 18-20) =  0.42+0.39-0.16

P(female or between 18-20) = 0.65

Hence, our required probability is 0.65.
