If you solve by substitution , you would get and the equation -3x-2(5x-7)=12 which if you solve becomes a -3x-10x+14=12
You than want to combine like terms , so you combine -3x and -10x and bring the other problem down.
-13x+14=12
You subtract the 14 from itself and the 12 to leave -13 with its variable alone.
Now you should have -13x=-2
You divide both sides by -13 and you’ll get x=2/13
Next step is you plug back this answer to the y=5x-7
And you’ll get y= -81/13

Next time, write down the problem.

y = 5x - 7 -3x - 2y = -12

Creative box:

(5x - 7) - (3x - 2y) = -12

5x - 3x = 2x

(2x - 7) - (2y)

y = -12

2 x -12 = -24

(2x - 7) (-24) = answer (i'm not sure if its right, because I don't know if that is how the answer was supposed to be written)

Please help!!!! largest, and smallest 6 digit number divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Basically it has to be divisible by 8, 9, and 10 because any number that is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 must also be divisible by 8, 9 and 10. We know that the number has to end in 0, the sum of its digits must be divisible by 9 and the last three digits must be divisible by 8. Therefore, the smallest number is 10080 and the largest is 999360.

The perimeter of a square is 12p +4. One side of the square equals? Explain your answer.

Hoochie [10]

We know that a square, by definition, has four congruent sides.

So, simply divide the perimeter by 4, and you will get the expression equivalent to each side: 12p+4/4

3p+1 is equal to one side of the square

Among persons donating blood to a clinic, 85% have Rh+ blood (that is, the Rhesus factor is present in their blood.) Six people

Leona [35]

Answer:

a) There is a 62.29% probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

b) There is a 22.36% probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

c) There need to be at least 8 people to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person donating blood, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have Rh+ blood, or they do not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.85, n = 6$ .

a) fine the probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

Either all six have the factor, or at least one of them do not. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 6) + P(X = 6) = 1$

$P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

$P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.3771 = 0.6229$

There is a 62.29% probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

b) find the probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

Either more than four have Rh+ blood, or at most four have. So

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4)$

In which

$P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = 5) = C_{6,5}.(0.85)^{5}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.3993$

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

$P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.3993 + 0.3771 = 0.7764$

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.7764 = 0.2236$

There is a 22.36% probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

c) The clinic needs six Rh+ donors on a certain day. How many people must donate blood to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95?

With 6 donors:

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

37.71% probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

With 7 donors:

$P(X = 6) = C_{7,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.3960$
