The system of equations can be solved using linear combination to eliminate one of the variables. 2x − y = −4→10x − 5y = −20 3x

5y = 59→3x 5y = 59 13x = 39 which equation can replace 3x 5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution? 2x – y = –4 10x – 5y = –20 7x = 39 13x = 39

The correct choice is option D. The given equations are:...[1]...[2] Multiply equation [1] by 5 on both sides; we have...[3]. By using the elimination method, we can add equations [2] and [3] to eliminate y and determine x, resulting in... Dividing both sides by 13 yields x = 3. Substituting x back into equation [1] results in 2(3) - y = -4, which simplifies to 6 - y = -4. After subtracting 6 from both sides, we find -y = -10. Dividing through by -1 gives y = 10. Hence, the solution is (3, 10). Consequently, a valid equation that can replace 3x + 5y = 59 in the original set while still yielding the same result is 13x = 39.

A students calculation was found to have a 15.6% error, and the actual value was determined to be 25.7 mL. What are the two poss
PIT_PIT [9090]
The true value is 25.7 ml.
The calculated error is 15.6%.
Thus, the error amount equals 0.156 times 25.7, which calculates to 4.0092 ml.

The percentage error indicates that the student's measurement could either exceed or fall short of the true value by this error amount.

This leads to two potential readings:
one possibility is: 25.7 + 4.0092 = 29.7092 ml
the other possibility is: 25.7 - 4.0092 = 21.6908 ml

Heights of adult males are known to have a normal distribution. a researcher claims to have randomly selected adult males and me
Leona [9244]

Answer:

The total probability exceeds 100%, indicating a problem with the findings; moreover, the distribution shows excessive uniformity which disqualifies it as a normal distribution.

Detailed explanation:

The sum of probabilities should be exactly 100%. When you add the probabilities of this distribution:

22+24+21+26+28 = 46+21+26+28 = 67+26+28 = 93+28 = 121

This exceeds 100%, highlighting a significant error in the results.

A typical normal distribution possesses a bell curve. If we plot the probabilities for this distribution, we'd see bars at 22, 24, 21, 26, and 28.

The bars would fail to form a bell-shaped curve, confirming that this is not a normal distribution.

There are seven boys and five girls in a class. The teacher randomly selects three different students to answer questions. The f
Svet_ta [9471]

The likelihood of selecting one girl is calculated as \frac{5}{12}. This is based on having 5 girls within a total of 12 students, and the probability of an event can be expressed as: \frac{\text{# of things you want}}{\text{# of things are possible}}.

Using the same reasoning, for the next student, we have reduced the number of students by 1, leading to 11 possible outcomes instead of 12, giving us:\frac{7}{11}, which represents the probability of selecting a boy as the second choice.

Lastly, the probability of choosing a girl for the third selection follows the same logic and is given as:\frac{4}{10}.

However, we must combine these individual probabilities to determine the likelihood of this specific sequence of selections occurring:

\frac{5}{12}*\frac{7}{11}*\frac{4}{10}=\frac{140}{1320}

This simplifies to:

\frac{7}{66}

Find the radius of an aluminum cylinder that is 2.00 cm long and has a mass of 12.4 g.
Svet_ta [9471]
To find the volume of an aluminum cylinder with a mass of 12.4 g and a length of 2.00 cm:
V = π r² L
Density of aluminum is 2.7 g / cm³
Therefore, V = 12.4 g: 2.7 g/cm³ ≈ 5 cm³
5 = 3.14 · r² · 2
r² = 5: 6.28
r² = 0.796
r = √0.796
Thus, the radius of the aluminum cylinder is 0.9 cm.
Answer:
The radius of an aluminum cylinder is 0.9 cm.
