Answer:

x=3/2, y=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4y =1

3x-5y =7

We will use elimination to solve these

Multiply the first equation by 3

3(2x+4y =1) 6x +12y =3

Multiply the second equation by -2 so that the x coefficients are the opposites of each other (6 and -6)

-2(3x-5y =7) -6x +10y =-14

Add the two new equations together

6x +12y =3

-6x +10y =-14

--------------------

0 + 22y = -11

Divide each side by 22

22y/22 = -11/22

y = -1/2

Now we can substitute y=-1/2 into the first equation and solve for x

2x + 4y =1

2x +4(-1/2) =1

2x -2 =1

Add 2 to each side

2x-2+2=1+2

2x=3

Divide by 2

2x/2 =3/2

x = 3/2

There are eight students in a class. Only one of them has passed Exam P/1 and only one of them has passed Exam FM/2. No student

Svetach [21]

Answer: There is probability of 0.57 chances that exactly three students from a group of four students have not passed Exam P/1 or Exam FM/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 8

Number of student who has passed Exam P/1 = 1

Number of student who has passed Exam FM/2 = 1

No student has passed more than one exam.

According to question, exactly three students from a randomly chose group of four students have not passed Exam P/1 or Exam FM/2.

So, Probability will be

$\frac{^6C_3\times ^2C_1}{^8C_4}\\\\=\frac{20\times 2}{70}\\\\=\frac{4}{7}\\\\=0.57$

Hence, there is probability of 0.57 chances that exactly three students from a group of four students have not passed Exam P/1 or Exam FM/2.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer: t = 3seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zero means we will equate the function to zero and then solve, that is

$-16t^{2}$ + 32t + 48 = 0

by factorizing , we have

(t+1)(-16t+48) = 0

Therefore:

t = -1 or t = 3

since time can not be negative , then , t = 3 seconds
