Solve each system of equations by writing a new system that eliminates one of the variables.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let:
We need to eliminate one of the variables, so let's use elimination method. First multiply (1) by 2
Now subtract (2) from 2*(1) in order to eliminate x:
Solving for y:
Multiplying both sides by -1
Finally, replacing the value of y in (1)
Solving for x:
add 41 to both sides:
Multiply both sides by 1/2:

Answer and explanation:
Given : Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive.
The sample space is
(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (1,7) (1,8)
(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6) (2,7) (2,8)
(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) (3,7) (3,8)
(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (4,7) (4,8)
(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6) (5,7) (5,8)
(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6) (6,7) (6,8)
(7,1) (7,2) (7,3) (7,4) (7,5) (7,6) (7,7) (7,8)
(8,1) (8,2) (8,3) (8,4) (8,5) (8,6) (8,7) (8,8)
Total number of outcome = 64
To find : The following probabilities ?
Solution :
The probability is given by,
a) p(you pick 5 and your friend picks 8)
The favorable outcome is (5,8)= 1
b) p(sum of the two numbers picked is < 4)
The favorable outcome is (1,1), (1,2), (2,1)= 3
c) p(both numbers match)
The favorable outcome is (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6), (7,7), (8,8) = 8
