Lets x is price of noble fir trees and y - is price for douglas fir trees
students got 5x+3y=420$ on friday
and 12x+9y=1080
now we need just solve the system of equations
5x+3y=420 - multiply by 3
12x+9y=1080

15x+9y=1260
12x+9y=1080
substract second equation from first
15x-12x=1260-1080
3x=180 x=60$ - the price of noble fir trees

put value x=60 in first equation 5x+3y=420
5*60+3y=420
300+3y=420
3y=120 y=40$ - price of Douglas fir trees

Answer: Noble fir trees cost $60 and Douglas fir trees cost $40

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Most everyday situations involving chance and likelihood are examples of simple probability.

Explanation:

The probability is the chance or likelihood of any event happening. In our everyday life, we unintentionally use the probability. For example, we say there is 70% chance that tomorrow will be rain, there is 50% chance that Brazil will win the world cup, there is less likelihood of he arriving today and soon. In all these concepts we are dealing with uncertainty and there is chance factor involved in all these examples. So in most everyday situations which involve chance and likelihood are actually examples of simple probability.

B. 

You know that the angle formed by 51 and y + 6 is equal to 106 because it needs to be supplementary with the 74. Thus, after subtracting you can get 49.
