Y=5x+21 and y=-7x-15

1 answer:

7 0

This is a simultaneous system of two linear equations with two unknowns, as the number of unknowns equals the number of equations, we can solve it:
y = 5x + 21
y = -7x - 15
we can equate both equations, given the fact that both are equal to y:
y = y
5x + 21 = -7x - 15
and solving for x:
5x + 7x = -15 - 21
12x = -36
x = -36/12
x = -3
then we substitute this result in the original equation:
y = 5x + 21
y = 5(-3) + 21
y = -15 + 21
y = 6
hence the solution is x = -3 and y = 6

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that on a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are incorrect

By mere guessing probability for choosing correct answer = p = 0.2

also each question is independent of the other

Hence if X is the number of correct questions then

X is binomial with p = 0.2 and n = 6

a) being correct on three questions,

= $P(X=3) = 0.08192$

(b) being correct on four questions,

= $P(X=4) = 0.01536$

= $P(x=6) = 0.000064$

Mrs. Wright bought some notebook paper for her class. She decided to keep 3/4 of the paper for her own use. How much paper did s

larisa [96]

So the total amount of paper is 4/4 right?
And she kept 3/4.
So we have to minus 3/4 from 4/4.
Because it has the same denominator we need not change it to similar one.So 4-3 is one.
So answer is 1/4
