Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to define a couple of variables. Let s = the cost of 1 squash and z = the cost of 1 zucchini.
Now lets translate the words into algebra:
"The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32" ===> 5s + 2z = 1.32
"Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75" ===> 3s + z = 0.75
There are several ways to solve systems of equations. Let's use substitution. We can find what z equals in terms of s by manipulating the second equation:
3s + z = 0.75
-3s -3s
------------ -------------
z = -3s +0.75
Now lets substitute (-3s + 0.75) into the first equation for z, then solve for s:
5s + 2(-3s + 0.75) = 1.32
Can you handle it from here?
(Hint: Once you have solved for s, you can substitute that value back into either of the equations and solve for z.)
Answer:
The all common Factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24
Check the picture below.
let's recall that a square has all equal sides, so the perimeter of the square is about 31, and Alicia has 32 inches of trim, so she's golden.
P(Al hits bottle first time) = 1/3
P(Al misses the first shot but hits on his second shot) =
P( Al misses and bill misses and Al hits) = 2/3 * 3/4 * 1/3 = 1/6
So required probability = 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2
