Looking at the first system of equations,
16x - 10y = 10
-8x - 6y = 6
If we multiply both sides of the second equation by 2, the coefficient of x is exactly the negative of the coefficient of x in the first equation.
-8x - 6y = 6
⇒ 2 (-8x - 6y) = 2 (6)
⇒ -16x - 12y = 12
By combining this new equation with the first one, we can eliminate x and solve for y :
(16x - 10y) + (-16x - 12y) = 10 + 12
⇒ -22y = 22
⇒ y = -1
Then we just solve for x by replacing y in either equation.
16x - 10y = 10
⇒ 16x - 10 (-1) = 10
⇒ 16x + 10 = 10
⇒ 16x = 0
⇒ x = 0
The main idea behind elimination is combining the given equations in just the right amount so that one of the variables disappears. The "right amount" involves using the LCM of the coefficients of a given variable. In this example, the x-coefficients had LCM(8, 16) = 16, so we only had to scale one of the equations (the one with -8x) to cancel all the x terms.
If we wanted to eliminate y first instead, we first note that LCM(6, 10) = 30. To get 30 as a coefficient on y, in the first equation we would have multiplied by 3:
16x - 10y = 10
⇒ 3 (16x - 10y) = 3 (10)
⇒ 48x - 30y = 30
And in the second equation, we would have multiplied by -5 (negative so that upon combining the equations, we end up with -30y + 30y = 0):
-8x - 6y = 6
⇒ -5 (-8x - 6y) = -5 (6)
⇒ 40x + 30y = -30
Now combining the two scaled equations gives
(48x - 30y) + (40x + 30y) = 30 + (-30)
⇒ 88x = 0
⇒ x = 0
We then solve for y :
16x - 10y = 10
⇒ -10y = 10
⇒ y = -1
so we end up with the same solution as before.

Solve the system of equations
X=11+y
2x+y=19
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this system of equations, let's first find the value y. We can replace the x in the second equation with 11 + y, since we are told in the first equation that x is equal to 11 + y. So, let's replace x:
2(11 + y) + y = 19
22 + 2y + y = 19
22 + 3y = 19
3y = -3
y = -1
And look at that - we've found our y-value! Now, we can replace the y in the first equation with -1 to find the value of x.
x = 11 + (-1)
x = 10
So, the solution to this system of equations is (10, -1). Hopefully that's helpful!
One research study of illegal drug use among 12- to 17-year-olds reported a decrease in use (from 11.4% in 1997) to 9.8% now. Suppose a survey in a large high school reveals that, in a random sample of 1046 students, report using illegal drugs. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the principal's claim that illegal drug use in her school is below the current national average.
Answers
Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is more than the critical value for the left-tailed test, it is found that there is not enough evidence to conclude that illegal drug use in her school is below the current national average.
At the null hypothesis, it is tested if drug use in her school is not below the national average, that is:
[tex]H_0: p \geq 0.098[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if it is below, that is:
[tex]H_1: p < 0.098[/tex]
The test statistic is given by:
[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]
In which:
[tex]\overline{p}[/tex] is the sample proportion. p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis. n is the sample size.93 out of 1046 reported using illegal drugs, hence the parameters are:
[tex]n = 1046, \overline{p} = \frac{93}{1046} = 0.0889, p = 0.098[/tex]
Hence, the value of the test statistic is:
[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{0.0889 - 0.098}{\sqrt{\frac{0.098(0.902)}{1046}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = -0.99[/tex]
The critical value for a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, is [tex]z^{\ast} = -1.645[/tex]
Since the test statistic is more than the critical value for the left-tailed test, it is found that there is not enough evidence to conclude that illegal drug use in her school is below the current national average.

A swimming pool already contains
a small amount of water when you start filling it at a
constant rate. The pool contains 45 gallons of water after
5 minutes and 120 gallons after 30 minutes. Find the
average rate of change and use it to write a linear model
that relates the amount of water in the pool to the time.
Answers
Answer:
Rate of change = 3 gallons/minute
Starting volume = 30 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph of the pool's water level would be useful. The slope of the line would represent the rate of change for filling the pool. It will also help us determine the amount of water that was in the pool to start. Although it is tempting to say the rate of fill is 45gallons/5 minutes, or 9 gallons/minute, it is not correct. The pool already started with an unknown volume of water. The rate of change after 5 minutes, however, can be used. The problem states it is being added at a constant rate. Let's find an equation for a line, in the format of y=mx+b, where m is the slope (rate of change) and b is the y-intercept.
We'll let y represent the volume of water in the pool, and x will be the time in minutes. The y-intercept will give us the amount of water in the pool at the start (x = 0).
The slope can be determined between the two given points:
(5,45) and (30,120):
Slope = Rise/Run [The change in y divided by the change in x].
Rise = (120 - 45) = 75
Run = (30-5) = 25
Slope = 75/25 or 3
The line, so far, becomes y=3x + b
The slope of 3 has units of gallons/minute. It is the rate at which the pool is being filled.
We can find b, the starting volume of water, by using one of the two points in the equation and solving for b:
y=3x + b [I'll use (5,45)]
45 = 3*(5) + b
b = 30 gallons
The pool had 30 gallons to start (at x = 0(minutes))
See the graph of the line, attached.
