Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The product will only be of the required form if the two chosen factors are of the form (x +by) and (x -by).
For the factor (x+y), there is also a factor (x-y) on the list. For the factor (x+5y), there is no factor (x-5y) available.
So, of the (4·3)/2 = 6 possible ways to choose two expressions from the four given expressions, only one pair of the 6 will have a product of the required form.
The probability is 1/6.
Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452
Step-by-step explanation:
(What does Mike have to do with this problem?)
Let a = Amanda's pay
Let p = Pam's pay
Let j = Julie's pay
"Amanda made twice what Pam earned"
a = 2p
"Julie made $90 more than Amanda"
j = a + 90
j = 2p + 90
Pam earned p
Total salary
a + p + j = 2p + p + 2p + 90
Total salary
$995
2p + p + 2p + 90 = 995
5p = 905
p = 181
a = 2p = 2(181) = 362
j = 2p + 90 = 362 + 90 = 452
Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452
Let x represent the larger number.
Let y represent the smaller number.
x-y=4 Given
3x=5y-2 Given
Now we can just substitute; let x=4+y
Substitute 4+y for x in the second equation:
3(4+y)=5y-2
12+3y=5y-2
-2y=-14
y=7
Substitute back (into BOTH equations to double check work).
x, the larger number, is 11

= 1/3( 1/2x9x5)10
= 1/3(45/2) 10
