I don't think either is right
I think it should be
44-7=x
So 44 - 7 = 37
X =37

What is the solution set of these system5x-2y=17 and 4x-7=13?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

x=5

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let us solve for <em>x</em> using the 4x-7=13 equation by <u>isolating terms containing the variable</u>:

4x-7=13\\4x=20\\\fbox{x=5}

Great! <em>x</em> is 5... let's find <em>y</em>.

Step 2:

Since we know the value of <em>x</em>, we can use what we know to find <em>y</em> using the <u>other equation</u>:

5x-2y=17\\

<em>Given that x=5, we can </em><u><em>replace</em></u><em> x with 5</em>.

5*5-2y=17\\25-2y=17\\2y=8\\\\\fbox{y=4}

<em>I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)</em>

You flipped a coin 50 times and got 23 heads.What is the experimental probability of getting a head? Write your answer as a frac
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

23/50, 0.46, and 46%

Step-by-step explanation:


This problem is stating that every fifty times you flip a coin you get 23 heads. Finding the fraction is simple, it would be 23/50 because it is expressing the probability. The problem clearly states that every 50 times you get 23 heads. To find the decimal, take the fraction, 23/50, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 2. you get 46/100 which is 0.46. A percent is just a fraction out of a 100 which would make the percent 46.

A ladder 15 feet long leans against the top of a structure at a 60 degree angle to the ground. What is the height of the buildin
Goshia [24]

Answer:

height of the building is 12.99 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

given, try to analyse:

  • ladder 15 feet long.
  • 60 degree angle to the ground.

the height of the building is opposite to the angle 60° and given hypotenuse, the ladder of 15 feet long.

using sine rule:

sin(x) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

sin(60) = \frac{opposite}{15}

opposite = sin(60) *15

opposite = 12.99feet

Therefore the height of the building is 12.99 feet.
