Answer: 5/6
Explanation: Since we're finding the probability of 1 or 2 people living on the first floor, we need to consider all of the times that either no one lived on the first floor or all three people lived on the first floor and subtract that from 12, which is our sample space.

There are only two cases where three people lived on the first floor. Hence, we have 10/12 times 1 or 2 people are living on the first floor.

This reduces down to a 5 in 6 chance.

Anyone have these or know them???

The answer would be y = 6x.

The reason for this is that when we add a number in front of x, it makes it go up vertically by the factor of that number. So if we are to stretch the graph vertically, the only way we can do it is by making 6 the coefficient.

Consider the two properties that you would use to solve an equation like 3x + 5 = 26. Which of the following is true? The standa

gladu [14]

The subtraction property of equality: if we subtract one side of the equation then we also must subtract from the other side of the equation.
The division property of equality: if we divide one side of the equation by a number then we also must divide the other side by the same number.
For this equation:
3 x + 5 = 26
3 x + 5 - 5 = 26 - 5 ( the Subtraction Property of Equality )
3 x = 21
3 x : 3 = 21 : 3 ( the Division Property of Equality )
x = 7
Answer: C ) The standard method for solving an equation like 3 x + 5 = 26 is to use the Subtraction Property of Equality and then the Division Property of Equality.

3. Solve the system using elimination (not substitution or matrices). negative 2 x plus y minus 2 z equals negative 8A N D7 x pl

Elimination Method

$\begin{gathered} -2X+Y-2Z=-8 \\ 7X+Y+Z=-1 \\ 5X+2Y-Z=-9 \end{gathered}$

If we multiply the equation 3 by (-1) we obtain this:

$\begin{gathered} -2X+Y-2Z=-8 \\ 7X+Y+Z=-1 \\ -5X-2Y+Z=9 \end{gathered}$

If we add them we obtain 0, therefore there are infinite solutions. So, let's write it in terms of Z

1. Using the 3rd equation we can obtain X(Y,Z)

$\begin{gathered} 5X=-9-2Y+Z \\ X=\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5} \\ \end{gathered}$

2. We can replace this value of X in the 1st and 2nd equations

$\begin{gathered} -2\cdot(\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5})+Y-2Z=-8 \\ 7\cdot(\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5})+Y+Z=-1 \end{gathered}$

3. If we simplify:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-9Y+12Z-63}{5}=-1 \\ \frac{9Y-12Z+18}{5}=-8 \end{gathered}$

4. We can obtain Y from this two equations:

$\begin{gathered} Y=-\frac{-12Z+58}{9} \\ \end{gathered}$

5. Now, we need to obtain X(Z). We can replace Y in X(Y,Z)

$\begin{gathered} X=\frac{-9-2Y+Z}{5} \\ X=\frac{-9-2(-\frac{-12Z+58}{9})+Z}{5} \end{gathered}$

6. If we simplify, we obtain:

$X=\frac{-3Z+7}{9}$

7. In conclusion, we obtain that

(X,Y,Z) =

$(\frac{-3Z+7}{9},-\frac{-12Z+58}{9},Z)$

A photograph 5 inches wide by 6 inches high is to be enlarged so that the new height is 20 inches. what will the width of the en

Vika [28.1K]

The new width is 16.6666666667 inches, which can be rounded to 16.7.

Width: 5 ?
Height: 6 20

We know that based on the information provided, the new height is 20 inches.

So, in order to solve, you can cross multiply (5 x 20), which would be 100. Then

divide by 6, to get 16.6666666667 or 16.7.
