21 cars, 32 motorcycles.
create a system of equations using x for cars and y for motorcycles.
\left \{ {{x+y=53} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.
multiply the top equation by 2 to prepare for elimination method
\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.
subtract terms
\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {-4x-2y=-148}} \right.  = (-2x = -42)
divide both sides by negative 2 to solve for x
x =21
plug in x  into original equation to solve for y.
21 + y = 53
subtract both sides by 21
y=32

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

  B, C, F

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 is 3 times 1/4, so the number of walls Dan can paint is 3 times the number of cans Dan uses.

A. 1/2 can will paint 3/2 walls, not 2.

B. 1 can will paint 3 walls — true

C. 5/3 cans will paint 5 walls — true

D. 2 cans will paint 6 walls, not 8.

E. 5/2 cans will paint 15/2 = 7 1/2 walls, not 10.

F. 11/3 cans will paint 11 walls — true

The age of father is 4nyears.If the age of his daughter is(2n-9)years.find their total age.​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

4n+(2n-9)

4n+2n-9

6n-9 =the total age

6n=9

divide by 6 both sides.

n=9/6

n=1.5 years.

substitute the value of n in the age of the father and the daughter.

Age of father=4×1.5

6years.

Age of Daughter = (2×1.5)-9

3-9

=-6 years

Total age

6-6=0

2. Find the theoretical probability of not rolling a 4.
mezya [45]

Answer:If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling a 4: Rolling a 4 is an event with 1 favorable outcome (a roll of 4) and the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (a roll of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Thus, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6.

If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling at least a 4: Rolling at least 4 is an event with 3 favorable outcomes (a roll of 4, 5, or 6) and the total number of possible outcomes is again 6. Thus, the probability of rolling at least a 4 is 3/6 = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:For example, when a die is rolled, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In mathematical language, an event is a set of outcomes, which describe what outcomes correspond to the "event" happening. For instance, "rolling an even number" is an event that corresponds to the set of outcomes {2, 4, 6}. The probability of an event, like rolling an even number, is the number of outcomes that constitute the event divided by the total number of possible outcomes. We call the outcomes in an event its "favorable outcomes".

Kevin has 5 times more baseball cards than his brother, Billy. If Billy has c number of cards, how many cards does Kevin have
mylen [45]
The answer would be 5*C or 5C or 5(C) they all mean the same exact thing but if Kevin has 5 times as much no matter what billy has you’ll have to multiply that by 5 to see how much Kevin’s has so if billy has c then you multiply that by 5
