I would solve the first equation for x and then sub that value into x in the second equation. That's the easiest way. x - 2y = 3 solved for x is x = 2y+3. Now sub that in for x in the second equation: 5(2y+3)+3y=2 and 10y + 15 + 3y = 2. 13y = -13, and y = -1. Now sub that y value into either equation to solve for x: x = 2(-1) + 3 gives us an x value of x = 1. Therefore, your solution to this system is (1, -1), first choice above.
Using it's concept, it is found that the probability of a person being over 20 years old and preferring strawberry ice cream is of 12%.
<h3>What is a probability?</h3>
A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.</u>
In this problem, there are 8 + 10 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 12 = 50 people, and of those, 6 are over 20 years old and prefer strawberry ice cream, hence the probability is given by:
p = 6/50 = 0.12 = 12%.

<h3>
Answer: -20</h3>
==========================================================
Work Shown:
Let x be the location of E on the number line.
Since C is the midpoint of E and F, this means we can find C's location by adding E and F together and dividing that sum by 2
midpoint = (endpoint1 + endpoint2)/2
C = (E+F)/2
Plug in E = x, C = -8 and F = 4. Then solve for x
C = (E+F)/2
-8 = (x+4)/2
(x+4)/2 = -8
x+4 = 2(-8) .... multiplying both sides by 2
x+4 = -16
x = -16-4 .... subtract 4 from both sides
x = -20
The location of point E on the number line is -20
-------------
As a check, lets add E and F to get E+F = -20+4 = -16
Then cut this in half to get -16/2 = -8, which is the proper location of point C
This confirms our answer.
Answer:
50 stuffed animals and 22 mystery boxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we assign variables.
Let the number of stuffed animals be x and the number of mystery boxes is y
The probability of selecting a stuffed animal is x/72 while the probability is selecting a mystery box is y/72
Now, since the total probability can be 1:
This means that
x/72 + y/72 = 1 •••••••(i)
Answer:
x: work a woman can do in 1 day
y: work a girl can do in 1 day
Then
2x + 7y =1/4
4x + 4y =1/3
4x + 14y =2/4 (1)
4x + 4y =1/3 (2)
=> Let (1) - (2), 10y =2/4-1/3 <=>10y = 1/6 <=> y = 1/(6x10) = 1/60 (work)
=> From (2),4x = 1/3 - 4x1/60 => 4x = 16/60 => x = 4/60 (work)
=> 1 day, a woman and a girl can do: 1/60+4/60 = 5/60 =1/12 (work)
Then, the day required for a woman and a girl to complete work: 12 days
