P Jimmy tried to solve the system of equations below, but he made an error
S 2.0
y=18
y= 40 +2
His work is shown. Find the error he made. Explain the error and show how to solve the sysm correctly.
1. 2.0 - 4.3 + 2 = 18
2.-2x = 16
3. = -8
4. y=4(-8) + 2
5. Y = -32 +2
6. y=-30
7. Check: 2 (-8) - (-30) = 18
8.
- 16 + 30 = 18
9 14 + 18
His mistake was on Line
because he should have
The correct solution is

"His mistake was on line 1. He didn't distribute the negative sign (indicating a -1) to everything in the equation for y."

The correct solution is: x = -10, y = -38

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 18

y = 4x + 2

Substitute the given value for y into the first equation:

2x - (4x + 2) = 18

2x - 4x - 2 = 18 ** here, he didn't distribute the (-) to everything in the parentheses that represents y

-2x -2 = 18

add 2 to both sides

-2x = 20

divide by -2

x = -10

solve for y

y = 4x + 2

y = 4(-10) + 2

y = -40 + 2

y = -38

Check the math:

2x -  y = 18

2(-10) - (-38) = - 20 + 38 = 18

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
