find the value of a 3a+2b=8 and b=-2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of a in the given equation is '4'

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is: 3a + 2b = 8 and b = -2

Plug the value of b into the formula:

3a + 2(-2) = 8

3a - 4 = 8

We want 3a by itself so we will add +4 to both sides:

3a - 4 + (4) = 8 + (4)

3a = 12

Divide both sides by 3 so a is by itself:

3a/3 = 12/3

1a = 4

a = 4

Answers

Answer: the answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to describe the graph shown in the attached picture.

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

Please see below! ^^

Is the graph a function?

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{Yes}}[/tex] ⇒ It passes the Vertical Line Test (Draw a vertical line through the graph; if the line touches the graph once (only once), then the graph is a function.

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{No}}[/tex] ⇒ It doesn't pass the Vertical line test. The line touches the graph more than once.

[tex]\underline{\rule{50}{1}}[/tex]

Since the line touches the graph only once, this graph is a function, and Option A. is not right; we can cross it out.

One down, three to go! ^^

Is the graph a one-to-one function?

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{Yes}}[/tex] ⇒ It passes the horizontal line test; it touches the graph only once.

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{No}}[/tex] ⇒ It doesn't pass the test; the line touches the graph

[tex]\underline{\rule{50}{1}}[/tex]

Since a horizontal line touches the graph more than once, this function is not one-to-one.

Option B. isn't right either.

Two down, two to go! ^^

However, look what Option C. is. The graph we're given is indeed a function, and it's not one-to-one.

So I choose Option C.

Let's ensure our answer is correct by checking the last option:

Is the graph a linear function?

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{Yes}}[/tex] ⇒ Its graph is a straight line.

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{No}}[/tex] ⇒ Its graph isn't a straight line.

[tex]\underline{\rule{50}{1}}[/tex]

As we can see, the given graph is not a staight line; thus, Option D. is also wrong.

Thus, Option C. is the correct answer.

Which of the following shows how to calculate the probability of randomly selecting a cat or dog?
P(cat) + P(dog)
P(cat) − P(dog)
P(cat) · P(dog)
P(cat) ÷ P(dog)

Answers

The probability of randomly selecting a cat or dog is P(cat or dog) = P(cat) + P(dog)

Since we cannot select a cat and dog at the same time, their probabilities are mutually exclusive

Probability of mutually exclusive events

If we have events a and b which are mutually exclusive with probabilities P(a) and P(b) respectively, the probability of a or b is P(a or b) = P(a) + P(b)

Probability of randomly selecting a cat or dog

Let

P(cat) = probability of selecting a cat and P(dog) = probability of selecting a dog

So, probability of randomly selecting a cat or dog is

P(cat or dog) = P(cat) + P(dog)

So, probability of randomly selecting a cat or dog is P(cat or dog) = P(cat) + P(dog)

Answers

Using proportions, considering the amount she received from each person, it is found that Annie had 30 sweets originally.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, we have that:

Initially, she had n sweets.With the ones she got from Teddy, the amount became 1.5n.With the amount from Rosie, the amount became 1.4 x 1.5 x n.

The final amount was of 63, hence:

1.4 x 1.5 x n = 63

n = 63/(1.4 x 1.5)

n = 30.

Find the 24th term of the sequence:

11, 16, 21, . . .

Answers

Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the first two terms of this sequence is 5 (16 - 11 = 5). The difference between the second and third terms of this sequence is also 5 (21 - 16 = 5).

So, we can assume that the difference between each term in this sequence is 5. To get from the first term (11) to the second term (16) we had to add 5 once. (or, add 5  x 1 [time])

To get from the first term (11) to third (21), we had to add 5 twice

(or, add 5 x2)

*repeated addition, such as 5+5+5 is the same thing as multiplication. If we are adding 5 three times, we will get the same outcome as 5 x 3.

So, to get from the first term (11) to the 24th term, we will have to add 5 23 times, or 5 x 23

5 x 23 = 115

11 + 115 = 126

Making 126 the 24th term of the sequence

The graph shows a probability distribution. What is P(X<3)?

The value of probability P(X<3) is 0.3 after calculating the area up to 3 option second is correct.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

We have a probability distribution shown in the picture.

To find the probability P(X<3) = area up to 3

From the probability distribution:

P(X<3) = (1/2)×3×(0.20)

P(X<3) = 1.5×0.20

P(X<3) = 0.3

Assuming the time changes at a constant rate, the equation for this is linear (so has the equation y=mx +c)

8am = -2

9am = -0.5

10am = 1.0

11am = 2.5

12pm = 4

m = change in each value or the slope , for this it is m=1.5

c = the y intercept, we find this by: when x=8 y must = 1.5 , which it isn't , y has to = -2 . So c = -3.5

The equation then is: y= 1.5*x - 3.5

The gradient/slope/m value is 1.5. The answer is 1.5
