Answer: x=3, y=6, z=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2z=4

2x=4-2z

X=2-z

-(2-z)-y-z=-8

-2+z-y-z=-8

-2-y=-8

-2+y=-8+y

-2+8=y

6=y

-4 (2-z)+4 (6)+5z=7

-8+4z+24+5z=7

9z=8-24+7

9z=-9

Z=-1

2x+2z=4

2x+2 (-1)=4

2x-2=4+2

2x=6

X=3

x=3 y=6 z=-1

- x - y - z = - 8 ------- (1)
- 4x + 4y + 5z = 7 -------- (2)
2x + 2z = 4 --------- (3)

From (3): x + z = 2
                      x = 2 - z --------- (4)

Substitute (4) into (1),
- x - y - z = - 8
- (2-z) - y - z = - 8
- 2 + z - y - z = -8
- 2 - y = - 8
2 + y = 8
Therefore, y = 6

Substitute y = 6 and (4) into (2),
- 4x + 4y + 5z = 7
- 4(2 - z) + 4(6) + 5z = 7
- 8 + 4z + 24 + 5z = 7
9z + 16 = 7
9z = - 9
Therefore, z = - 9

Substitute z = - 9 into (4),
x = 2 - z
x = 2 - (-9)
x = 2 + 9
Therefore x = 11

Solution:
x = 11
y = 6
z = -9

Alex777 [14]

Answer

14/15 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=1+215−15

Solving the fraction parts

2/15−15=?

Find the LCD of 2/15 and 1/5 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 15

2/15−3/15=−1/15

Combining the whole and fraction parts

1−1/15=14/15

Solution by Formulas

converting mixed numbers to fractions, our initial equation becomes,

17/15−15

Applying the fractions formula for subtraction,

=(17×5)−(1×15)15×5

=85−15/75

=70/75

Simplifying 70/75, the answer is

=14/15

A frog catches insects for his lunch. The frog likes to eat flies and mosquitoes in a certain ratio, which is shown in the diagr
avanturin [10]

Answer:

ON MONDAY:  35 mosquitos.

ON TUESDAY: 6 flies.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see in the diagram, the frog eats 3 flies for every 7 mosquitoes (for lunch). Then you can expresed this ratio as following:

3:7 or \frac{3}{7}

Based on the table:

-If the frog eats 15 flies on monday, then the number of mosquitos that it eats can be calculated as following:

\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{mosquitoes}\\\\mosquitoes=\frac{15*7}{3}\\\\mosquitoes=35

-If the frog eats 14 mosquitoes on tuesday, then the number of flies that it eats can be calculated as following:

\frac{3}{7}=\frac{flies}{14}\\\\flies=\frac{14*3}{7}\\\\flies=6

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.
