4.5x – 2y = 15 3x - y =10 (answer as a combined pair)

prisoha [69]

Answer:

x = 10/3 , y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{4.5 x - 2 y = 15

3 x - y = 10

In the first equation, look to solve for x:

{4.5 x - 2 y = 15

3 x - y = 10

4.5 x - 2 y = (9 x)/2 - 2 y:

(9 x)/2 - 2 y = 15

Add 2 y to both sides:

{(9 x)/2 = 2 y + 15

3 x - y = 10

Multiply both sides by 2/9:

{x = (4 y)/9 + 10/3

3 x - y = 10

Substitute x = (4 y)/9 + 10/3 into the second equation:

{x = (4 y)/9 + 10/3

3 ((4 y)/9 + 10/3) - y = 10

3 ((4 y)/9 + 10/3) - y = ((4 y)/3 + 10) - y = y/3 + 10:

{x = (4 y)/9 + 10/3

y/3 + 10 = 10

In the second equation, look to solve for y:

{x = (4 y)/9 + 10/3

y/3 + 10 = 10

Subtract 10 from both sides:

{x = (4 y)/9 + 10/3

y/3 = 0

Multiply both sides by 3:

{x = (4 y)/9 + 10/3

y = 0

Substitute y = 0 into the first equation:

Answer: {x = 10/3 , y = 0

Which rectangle could be created from a parallelogram with a base of 6 and a height of 2?

nalin [4]

Answer:

A rectangle with a length of 6 and width of 2.

The corners added up make a rectangle so it is the same as a rectangle. You can just multiply 6 x 2 = 12 to find the area. If you have any more questions you are welcome to ask

Answer: Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had gambled on sending the missiles to Cuba with the specific goal of increasing his nation's nuclear strike capability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Soviet Union signed a treaty with Hitler, the U.S. kept the atomic bomb a secret, and the U.S. took a long time to attack Hitler.
France, Britain, and the United States wanted to reunify Germany, so they combined their areas into West Germany. Soviets cut off transportation to West Berlin. This lead to the United States and Britain using the Berlin airlift to bring food/supplies into the isolated part of Soviet occupied West Berlin.

. A box in a certain supply room contains four 40-W lightbulbs, five 60-W bulbs, and six 75-W bulbs. Suppose that three bulbs ar

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a) 59.34%

b) 44.82%

c) 26.37%

d) 4.19%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

There are in total 4+5+6 = 15 bulbs. If we want to select 3 randomly there are K ways of doing this, where K is the combination of 15 elements taken 3 at a time

$K=\binom{15}{3}=\frac{15!}{3!(15-3)!}=\frac{15!}{3!12!}=\frac{15.14.13}{6}=455$

As there are 9 non 75-W bulbs, by the fundamental rule of counting, there are 6*5*9 = 270 ways of selecting 3 bulbs with exactly two 75-W bulbs.

So, the probability of selecting exactly 2 bulbs of 75 W is

$\frac{270}{455}=0.5934=59.34\%$

(b)

The probability of selecting three 40-W bulbs is

$\frac{4*3*2}{455}=0.0527=5.27\%$

The probability of selecting three 60-W bulbs is

$\frac{5*4*3}{455}=0.1318=13.18\%$

The probability of selecting three 75-W bulbs is

$\frac{6*5*4}{455}=0.2637=26.37\%$

Since the events are disjoint, the probability of taking 3 bulbs of the same kind is the sum 0.0527+0.1318+0.2637 = 0.4482 = 44.82%

(c)

There are 6*5*4 ways of selecting one bulb of each type, so the probability of selecting 3 bulbs of each type is

$\frac{6*5*4}{455}=0.2637=26.37\%$

(d)

The probability that it is necessary to examine at least six bulbs until a 75-W bulb is found, supposing there is no replacement, is the same as the probability of taking 5 bulbs one after another without replacement and none of them is 75-W.

As there are 15 bulbs and 9 of them are not 75-W, the probability a non 75-W bulb is $\frac{9}{15}=0.6$
