Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The fruit punch has 2.4 gallons but x %
Apple juice has 5.6 gallons but 100 % or 1
The total mixture would then have 8 gallons and 82 %.
2.4+5.6=8
8×0.82 = 6.56
Then you would do 2.4x + 5.6(1) = 6.56
2.4x + 5.6 = 6.56
2.4x = 0.96
0.96/2.4 = 0.4 = 40%
Therefore, Brand A has 40% fruit juice
This is a true statement.
Consider two events A and B. We say they are complementary if P(A)+P(B) = 1
This means that either event A or event B must happen, since the "1" represents 100% probability. Having a probability of 100% means absolute certainty.
---------
Example:
A = the event it rains
B = the event it does not rain
P(A) = 0.30 = 30% chance of rain
P(B) = 0.70 = 70% chance it does not rain
P(A)+P(B) = 0.30+0.70 = 1
So this shows the two events are complementary.
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the first equation. Subtract 3x from both sides.
y−3x=−2
Consider the second equation. Subtract x from both sides.
y−2−x=0
Add 2 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
y−x=2
To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
y−3x=−2,y−x=2
Choose one of the equations and solve it for y by isolating y on the left hand side of the equal sign.
y−3x=−2
Add 3x to both sides of the equation.
y=3x−2
Substitute 3x−2 for y in the other equation, y−x=2.
3x−2−x=2
Add 3x to −x.
2x−2=2
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
2x=4
Divide both sides by 2.
x=2
Substitute 2 for x in y=3x−2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for y directly.
y=3×2−2
Multiply 3 times 2.
y=6−2
Add −2 to 6.
y=4
The system is now solved.
y=4,x=2
