There are two chances of getting one tails: if the first toss is heads and the second toss is tails OR if the first toss is tails.
The probability of the first toss to be head AND the second toss to be tails is 1/2 × 1/2, which equals 1/4.
The probability of getting a tails on the first toss is 1/2.

When dealing with probabilities, AND means multiply and OR means add. Therefore, this problem is: (heads AND tails) OR (tails). The probability of a coin landing on heads is 1/2 and the probability of a coin landing on tails is 1/2. Therefore, the equation is (1/2 × 1/2) + (1/2), which is 3/4.

Dennis and Connie purchased a radio for $128. Dennis paid $36 more than Connie. How much did each pay?
never [62]

Answer:

Dennis paid $82 and Connie paid $46.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation by putting in variables, c representing how much Connie paid. Since we know that Dennis paid $36 more, we will also factor that in the equation.

c + c + 36 = 128

Where c + 36 represents the amount Dennis paid, and 128 represents the total amount paid as given in the question. We can start by adding like terms. 2c + 36 = 128

Now, we can subtract 36 from each side,

2c + 36 - 36 = 128 - 36

2c = 92

Divide each side by two,

2c/2 = 92/2

c = 46

Now, to make sure this is correct, let's substitute our c for 46 in our equation:

46 + 46 + 36 = 128

92 + 36 = 128

128 = 128

Therefore, our equation is correct, and Dennis paid $82 while Connie paid $46.

3x+y=8<br>5x+y=10<br>please help me Brainly sir ​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

X = 1

Y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to figure out what x and y = that make both answers correct

3 x 1 = 3

3 + 5 = 8

That means that the first equation is right with X = 1 and Y = 5

Let's see the second equation

5 x 1 = 5

5 + 5 = 10

That means both equations are right so the answer would be

X = 1 and

Y = 5
