Probability of an event =
(number of ways the event can happen) / (total number of possible outcomes) .
Well, the total number of possible outcomes is easy. It's
(6 possibilities for the first cube) x (6 possibilities for the 2nd cube)
= 36 total possible ways for two cubes to roll.
Now, how many of those possibilities show either 4 or 7 ?
Well, here's how a 4 can come up:
1 . . . 3
2 . . . 2
3 . . . 1
and here's how a 7 can come up:
1 . . . 6
2 . . . 5
3 . . . 4
4 . . . 3
5 . . . 2
6 . . . 1 .
So there are 9 ways all together for Lenny to be successful.
The probability is (9/36) .
That's 1/4 , or 25% .
Answer:
60 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of minutes be represented as x
For Plan A
Plan A charges $35 plus $0.25 per minute for calls.
$35 + $0.25 × x
35 + 0.25x
For Plan B
Plan B charges $20 plus $0.50 per minute for calls.
$20 + $0.50 × x
20 + 0.50x
For what number of minutes do both plans cost the same amount?
This is calculated by equating Plan A to Plan B
Plan A = Plan B
35 + 0.25x = 20 + 0.50x
Collect like terms
35 - 20 = 0.50x - 0.25x
15 = 0.25x
x = 15/0.25
x = 60 minutes.
Hence, the number of minutes that both plans cost the same amount is 60 minutes
Answer:
a. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(2, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 3x + 3 → (2)
y = - 9x + 15 → (2)
Substitute y = - 3x + 3 into (2)
- 3x + 3 = - 9x + 15 ( add 9x to both sides )
6x + 3 = 15 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
y = - 3(2) + 3 = - 6 + 3 = - 3
solution is (2, - 3 )
