Answer: The required solution of the given system is

x = 3, y = 6 and z = -1.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following system of equations by the method of substitution :

$-x-y-z=-8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\-4x+4y+5z=7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\2x+2z=4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

From equation (iii), we have

$2x+2z=4\\\\\Rightarrow x+z=2\\\\\Rightarrow x=2-z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iv)$

Substituting the value of x from equation (iv) in equations (i) and (ii), we get

$-(2-z)-y-z=-8\\\\\Rightarrow 2-z+y+z=8\\\\\Rightarrow 2+y=8\\\\\Rightarrow y=8-2\\\\\Rightarrow y=6$

and

$-4(2-z)+4y+5z=7\\\\\Rightarrow -8+4z+4\times6+5z=7\\\\\Rightarrow 9z+16=7\\\\\Rightarrow 9z=-9\\\\\Rightarrow z=-\dfrac{9}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow z=-1.$

From equation (iii), we get

$2x+2(-1)=4\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=6\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3.$

Thus, the required solution of the given system is

x = 3, y = 6 and z = -1.

Alia wants to write the equation of the graphed line in point-slope form. These are the steps she plans to use:

baherus [9]

(2,5)(1,3)
slope(m) = (3 - 5) / (1 - 2) = -2/-1 = 2 (2 units up, one unit to the right)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)....using (1,3)
y - 3 = 2(x - 1)....talia's last step is incorrect because she didn't sub in her slope of 2

There are two approaches to solving the equation -3x + 10 = 4x - 20 Subtract 4x from both sides. OR Add 3x to both sides. –7x +

Scrat [10]

Answer:

There are two approaches to solving the equation -3x + 10 = 4x - 20. The value of x after solving in both methods is 4.2857.

Solution:

Given, equation is -3x + 10 = 4x – 20.

We have to solve the given equation in two methods, now let us see the first method.

1st method ⇒ by subtracting 4x from both sides.

Then, -3x + 10 = 4x – 20 ⇒ -3x + 10 – 4x = 4x – 20 – 4x ⇒ -3x – 4x = -20 – 10 ⇒ -7x = -30 ⇒ 7x = 30

Then, x = $\frac{30}{7}$

Now, let us use the 2nd method.

2nd method ⇒ by adding 3x on both sides.

Then, -3x + 10 = 4x – 20 ⇒ -3x + 10 + 3x = 4x – 20 + 3x

⇒ 10 + 20 = 4x + 3x

⇒ 7x = 30

⇒ x = $\frac{30}{7}$

Hence, the value of x after solving in both methods is $\frac{30}{7}$ = 4.2857.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is different than 7 hashtags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A social media platform states that a social media post from a marketing agency has 7 hashtags, on average.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 7, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7$

A digital marketing specialist studying social media advertising believes the average number of hashtags used in a post from a marketing agency is different than the number stated by the social media platform.

Keyword is different, so at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 7, that is:

$H_1: \mu \neq 7$

Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.
