Probability of getting tails on first flip = 1/2

Probability of getting tails on second flip = 1/2

Probability of getting tails on third flip = 1/2

Probability of getting all 3 tails = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Answer:

x = -125/71 , y = 448/71 , z = 356/71

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 x - 5 y + 5 z = -10 | (equation 1)

5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

2 x - 5 y + 5 z = -10 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Subtract 2/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - (17 y)/5 + (19 z)/5 = (-12)/5 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 2 by 5:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Subtract 1/5 × (equation 1) from equation 3:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x - y/5 + (22 z)/5 = 104/5 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 5:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x - y + 22 z = 104 | (equation 3)

Subtract 1/17 × (equation 2) from equation 3:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+(355 z)/17 = 1780/17 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 17/5:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+71 z = 356 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 3 by 71:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Subtract 19 × (equation 3) from equation 2:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y+0 z = (-7616)/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 2 by -17:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Add 4 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{5 x + 0 y+3 z = 443/71 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Subtract 3 × (equation 3) from equation 1:

{5 x+0 y+0 z = (-625)/71 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y+0 z = (-125)/71 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

you can always use guess-and-check:

124 seems rather high

(6)P(2) = 6!/4! = 6x5 ≠ 72

(9)P(2) = 9!/7! = 9x8 = 72
