Answer:  School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.

Explanation:

Let the number of points School Y has be x

Let the number of points School X has be 3x

According to question, we get

3x-x=8\\\\2x=8\\\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\\\x=4

So, the number of point School Y has 4.

and number of points School X has

3x=3\times 4=12

Hence, School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.

How do you divide a whole number by a fraction​
lord [1]

Answer:Multiply the denominator on the bottom of the fraction by the whole number you are dividing by.

To divide a fraction by a whole number, multiply the bottom of the fraction by this whole number.

The denominator on the bottom of the fraction is 7.

We will multiply 7 by 2.

7 × 2 = 14 and so, 6 / 7 ÷ 2 = 6 / 14 .

What are the coordinates of point R?​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The last one (-1,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

From (0,0), the R coordinate is one to the left meaning the x is negative and five up which means the y is positive 5 so... (-1,5) is the new location of R.

If a student was randomly guessing while completing a 20 question multiple choice exam, what is the probability they would score
mario62 [17]

Answer:

you want 4 correct and 16 incorrect

there are 20 questions

each question has four answers, so

P(right answer) = 1/4

P(wrong answer) = 3/4

----

Since you want 4 correct of 20 we have a combination of 20C4

This is a binomial problem where p = 1/4, q = 3/4 and we get

(20 "choose" 4)*(probability correct)^(number correct)*(probability incorrect)^(number incorrect)

putting numbers in we get

(20c4)*(1/4)^4*(3/4)^16

This gives us

~ .189685

X is six more than four times the value of y.
Oksana_A [137]
Therefore
(4y+6) +y = 46

We can combine the like terms:
5y + 6 = 46

Subtract 6 on both sides:

5y+6-6=46-6

Therefore 5y =40

Divide by 5 on both sides

5y/5 = 40/5

Therefore

y= 8
We found y but to find the value x we use y.

X= 4y+6

Therefore
x= (4*8)+ 6

Therefore

x= 32 + 6

x= 38.
