Answer: The first equation should be multiplied by 9 and the second equation by −4, to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation (1) 5x − 4y = 28

Equation (2) 3x - 9y = 30

to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, we should multiply  equation (1) by 9 and equation (2) by -4 such that

9(5x − 4y) =9 (28)⇒45x-36y=252

-4(3x - 9y) = -4(30)⇒ -12x+36y= -120

Now adding both equations, y-term eliminated and we get, 45x-12x=132

⇒33x=132⇒x=4.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D. The difference of the means is not significant because the re-randomizations show that it is within the range of what could happen by chance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatment group using System A reported a mean of 18.5 lost bags per day. The treatment group using System B reported a mean of 16.6 lost bags per day.

The best conclusion that can be made is - The difference of the means is not significant because the re-randomizations show that it is within the range of what could happen by chance.

As we know, in statistics, nothing happens by chance. So, this option is correct.

Suppose you begin a job with an annual salary of $32,900. Each year you are assured of a 5.5% raise. What its the total amount t
olga2289 [7]

Answer: the total amount that you can earn in 15 years is $737245. Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

You receive an annual salary of $32,900 and each year, you are assured of a 5.5% raise. Assuming there was no raise, you get 100% of your previous salary each year. With a raise of 5.5%, you will get 100 + 5.5 = 105.5% of your previous salary for each year. This is a geometric progression and we want to determine the sum of 15 terms(15 years).

The formula for the sum of terms in a geometric progression is

Sn = [a(r^n - 1)]/ r - 1

Sn = sum of n terms

a = the first term

n = number of terms

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 32900

n = 15

r = 105.5/100 = 1.055

S15 = [32900(1.055^15 - 1)] / 1.055 - 1

S15 = [32900(2.23247649 - 1)] / 0.055

S15 = 32900 × 1.23247649) / 0.055

S15 = 737245.0277

S15 = $737245
