5y+4x=10.51 8y+3x=10.39

  (x, y) = (1.89, 0.59)

Step-by-step explanation:

Written in general form, the equations are ...

  4x +5y -10.51 = 0

  3x +8y -10.39 = 0

These can be solved using the cross-multiplication method to find ...

  ∆1 = (4)(8) -(3)(5) = 17

  ∆2 = (5)(-10.39) -(8)(-10.51) = 32.13

  ∆3 = (-10.51)(3) -(-10.39)(4) = 10.03

Then the values of the variables are ...

  x = ∆2/∆1 = 32.13/17 = 1.89

  y = ∆3/∆1 = 10.03/17 = 0.59

The solution is (x, y) = (1.89, 0.59).

the correct answer is b) histograms can be used to exhibit the shape of distributions. this is because histograms count the frequency of each possible answer, so one is able to see which results are more common and which are less common.
