Answer: Probability that heads appear on only the last toss is \dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A coin is tossed 3 times in a row.

Total number of outcomes = 8

Number of possible outcomes would be

{HHH,HTH,HHT,TTH,THT,HTH,TTT,HTT}

We need a probability that heads appear on only the last toss.

So, Number of possible outcomes becomes 4

i.e. {HHH,HTH, THH,TTH}

So, our required probability would be

\dfrac{4}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Hence, probability that heads appear on only the last toss is \dfrac{1}{2}

The total number of ways you can toss a coin 3 times  is 8.
H H H
H H T
H T H
H T T
T H H
T H T
T T H
T T T
That should be 8 times.
H H T is the only toss that works
1/8 times

Answer:

20. x = 5, y = -2

21. x = 11, y = 12

22. x = 22, y = 11

23. x = 11, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

20. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

2y+18=3x-1\\ \\6x-3=17-5y

Solve this system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2y-3x=-19\\ \\6x+5y=20\end{array}\right.

Multiply the first equation by 2 and add two equations:

2(2y-3x)+6x+5y=2\cdot (-19)+20\\ \\4y-6x+6x+5y=-38+20\\ \\9y=-18\\ \\y=-2

Substitute it into the first equation:

2\cdot (-2)-3x=-19\\ \\-3x=-19+4\\ \\-3x=-15\\ \\x=5

21. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

11x+5=10y+6

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

6x-y+11x+5=180^{\circ}

Solve this system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}11x-10y=1\\ \\17x-y=175\end{array}\right.

From the second equation

y=17x-175

Substitute it into the first equation:

11x-10(17x-175)=1\\ \\11x-170x+1750=1\\ \\-159x=-1749\\ \\x=11\\ \\y=17\cdot 11-175=187-175=12

22. Opposite angles in the parallelogram are congruent, so

2x-5=3y-12

Consecutive angles are supplementary, so

2x-5+7y+x=180^{\circ}

Solve this system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-3y=-7\\ \\3x+7y=185\end{array}\right.

From the first equation

x=-3.5+1.5y

Substitute it into the second equation:

3(-3.5+1.5y)+7y=185\\ \\-10.5+4.5y+7y=185\\ \\-105+45y+70y=1,850\\ \\115y=1,850+105\\ \\115y=1,955\\ \\y=17\\ \\x=-3.5+1.5\cdot 17=22

23. Opposite sides in the parallelogram are congruent, so

2x+9=4y-9\\ \\3x-5=2y+8

Solve this system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x-4y=-18\\ \\3x-2y=13\end{array}\right.

Multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract it from the first equation:

2x-4y-2(3x-2y)=-18-2\cdot 13\\ \\2x-4y-6x+4y=-18-26\\ \\-4x=-44\\ \\x=11

Substitute it into the first equation:

2\cdot 11-4y=-18\\ \\-4y=-18-22\\ \\-4y=-40\\ \\y=10
