From the given scenario in this item, we can say that the sum of x and y is 500. By the aluminum balance, the equation that we can formulate from this,
                            0.25x + 0.40y = (500)(0.35)
The system of linear equations that can best express the given is,
                                   x + y = 500
                                0.25x + 0.40y = 175

Elena randomly chooses a number from 1 to 10. What is the probability she chooses a number greater than 5?
zepelin [54]

ANSWER

P(E)=\frac{1}{2}

EXPLANATION

From the given information, Elena chooses a number from 1 to 10.

The sample space is

S={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

n(S)=10

The numbers greater than 5 are:

E={6,7,8,9,10}

n(E)=5

The probability that, she chooses a number greater than 5 is:

P(E) =  \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}

Substitute the values,

P(E) =  \frac{5}{10}

P(E) =  \frac{1}{2}

2b^2 + 81/2 b + 4 


basically 2b^2 + 16b + 49/2 b + 4 
= (2b^2) + 16b+49/2b) + (4) 
= 2b^2 + 81/2 b + 4
