Solve:

<span>-X - Y - Z       =-8
- 4X +4Y +5Z=7
2X + 2Z         =4   is the same as x + z = 2.  Thus, z = 2 - x.

Subst. 2 - x for z in the 1st and second equations.

</span>-X - Y - Z       =-8   becomes -x - y - (2 -x) = -8
- 4X +4Y +5Z=7     becomes -4x + 4y + 5(2-x) = 7

Now we have 2 equations in only 2 unknowns.  Let's simplify them!

-x - y - 2 + x = -8               which becomes   -y = -6, or y = 6
-4x + 4y + 10 - 5x = 7       which becomes   -9x + 4y = 7 - 10 = -3

Now substitute 6 for y in this last equation:  -9x + 4(6) = -3, or
                                                                      -9x + 24 = -3, or
                                                                      -9x = - 27 => x = 3

Then x = 3, y = 6 and z = 2 - x, or z = 2-3, or   z = -1.

The solution is (3, 6, -1).  Check it!!

An experiment consists of ranomly drawing three cards in succession without replacement from a standard deck of 52 cards. Let A
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.0045248 ;

0.1312218 ;

0.0001809 ;

0.1659729

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Kings in deck = 4

Total number of cards in deck = 52

Picking without replacement :

A = King on first draw :

P(A) = 4 / 52

A = King on 2nd draw :

P(B) = 3 / 51

A = King on 3rd draw :

P(C) = 2 / 50

1.) P(A n B) = P(A) * P(B)

P(A n B) = 4/52 * 3/51 = 12 / 2652 = 0.0045248

2.) P(A u B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)

P(AuB) = 4/52 + 3/51 - 0.0045248 = 0.1312218

3.) P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C)

P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 4/52 * 3/51 * 2/50 = 0.0001809

4.) P(A U B U C) =

P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(AnB) - P(AnC) - P(BnC) - P(AnBnC)

P(AnC) = P(A) * P(C) = 4/52 * 2/50 = 0.0030769

P(BnC) = P(B) * P(C) = 3/51 * 2/50 = 0.0023529

4/52 + 3/51 + 2/50 - 0.0045248 - 0.0030769 - 0.0023529 + 0.0001809 = 0.1659729

naomi's fish is 40 millimeters long. her guinea pig is 25 centimeters long. how much longer is the guinea pig than her fish
horrorfan [7]
Hi there!

The correct answer is 6.25 times.

This is how you get there:

1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm

2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25

If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.

I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!
