The answer choice which represents a solution to the system of equations is; (–2, 10).

<h3>Which answer choice is a solution to the systems of equations?</h3>

The system of equations as given in the task content is;

-6x - (2/5)y = 8

(1/2)x +3y = 29

Hence, by making x subject in equation 1 and substitution; we have;

x = (-0.4y -8)/6

Hence; (0.4y -8)/12 + 3y = 29.

(0.4y -8) + 36y = 348

35.6y = 356

y = 10

and x = (-0.4(10) -8)/6 = -2.

Elina [12.6K]

The value of P(R = 3) is 0.2854

<h3>Probability</h3>

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events.

The given parameters are:

$n = 38$ --- the number of slots
$red = 18$ . --- the number of red slot
$black = 18$ . --- the number of black slot
$green = 2$ . --- the number of green slot

<h3>Individual probabilities</h3>

The probability that the ball lands on a red slot is calculated as:

$p = \frac{18}{38}$

Simplify

$p= \frac{9}{19}$

The probability that the ball does not land on a red slot is calculated as:

$q = \frac{18+2}{38}$

$q = \frac{20}{38}$

Simplify

$q = \frac{10}{19}$

<h3>Binomial probability</h3>

The value of P(R = 3) is then calculated using the following binomial probability formula

$P(R = r) = ^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}$

Where:

$n = 7$

$r = 3$

So, we have:

$P(R = 3) = ^7C_3 \times (9/19)^3 \times (10/19)^{7-3}$

$P(R = 3) = 35 \times (9/19)^3 \times (10/19)^4$

$P(R = 3) = 0.2854$

Hence, the value of P(R = 3) is 0.2854

• So we know that.....

x represent bags of snack and y is bottles of water.

This equations shows the total amount and the cost of each water bottle and snack:

20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y

Total: $20.00
Snack: $2.50
Water Bottle: $1.00

And this question shows the total items:

11 = x + y

Which there will be some snack + some water bottle = 11 items

—————————————————————

• Now I’m going to first solve for x, which is the amount of bags of snack.

I will use the equation, 11 = x + y.

(First, we’ll subtract y from both side, since we’re solving for x [UNDO])

11 = x + y
-y = - y
_______
11 - y = x —> so x is equal to 11 minus y.

—————————————————————

• Now we’re going to plug the 11 - y as x in the equation: 20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y to solve for y.

20.00 = 2.50 (11 - y) + 1.00y

20.00 = 27.5 - 2.50y + 1.00y (Distributed)

20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y (Combine like terms)

20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y
-27.5 = -27.5 (Subtract -27.5 both side)
——————————
-7.5 = - 1.50y

-7.5 = -1.50y
—— ——— (Divide both side by -1.50)
- 1.50 = -1.50

5 = y

y is equals to 5, which means that there are 5 water bottles.

Now we know there are 11 items total and because there are 5 water bottles, there will be 6 bags of snacks. 11-5=6

—————————————————————

ANSWER:

They bought 6 bags of snacks! :)
