--------------------------------------------
Define x and y :
--------------------------------------------
Let one number be x.
Let the other number be y.

--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x ÷ y = 3

--------------------------------------------
Solve for x and y :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24 ------------------- (1)
x ÷ y = 3 --------------------- (2)

--------------------------------------------
From equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x = 24 - y 

--------------------------------------------
Sub x = 24 - y into 2 :
--------------------------------------------
x ÷ y = 3               // Equation 2
(24 - y) ÷ y = 3      // Sub x = 24
24 - y = 3y            // Multiply by y on both sides
24 = 4y                 // Add y to both sides
4y = 24                 // Switch side, make y the subject
y = 6                     // Divide by 4 on both sides

--------------------------------------------
Sub y = 6 into equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24            // Equation 1
x + 6 = 24            // sub y = 6
x = 18                  // Take away 6 from both sides

--------------------------------------------
Find the two numbers :
--------------------------------------------
One number = x = 18
The one number = y = 6

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers are 18 and 6.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Evaluate the expression for the given values.
blagie [28]

we have given an expression mx-y.

we have given the value of x,y and m .

m=5,x=3,y=8.

we need to find the value of expression mx-y.

we need to plug the respective values and solve.

mx-y=(5)*(3)-(8)=15-8=7..

7 is the value of expression mx-y.

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it, so this is basically just negative 8 plus 6, which is -2. Don't know who was right though, you kinda left that part of the question out.

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.
Licemer1 [7]
So,

We are trying to find the compound probability of there BEING oil and the test predicting NO oil.

The percent chance of there actually being oil is 45%.  We can convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

45% --> \frac{45}{100}

\frac{45}{100}--\ \textgreater \  \frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}

\frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{3*3}{2*2*5}

\frac{3*3}{2*2*5}--\ \textgreater \  \frac{9}{20}

That is the simplified fraction form.

The kit has an 80% accuracy rate.  Since we are assuming that the land has oil, we need the probability that the kit predicts no oil.  

The probability that the kit detects no oil will be the chance that the kit is not accurate, which is 20% (100 - 80 = 20).  We can also convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

20% --> \frac{20}{100}

\frac{20}{100}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{2}{10}

\frac{2}{10}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{5}

That is the probability of the kit not being accurate (not predicting any oil).

To find the compound probability of there being oil and the kit not predicting any oil, we simply multiply both fractions together.

\frac{9}{20}*\frac{1}{5}

\frac{9}{20*5}

\frac{9}{100}

So the probability of there BEING oil and the kit predicting NO oil is 9 in 100 chances.
