Use algebra Set up a system of equations.
Let x = number of pounds of chicken he sold
and y = number of pounds of pork
So one equation is
x + y = 15....... (1)
And the other equation is the amount of money he made :-
3x + 4y = 50....(2)

Now solve this sytem of 2 equations:-

multiply the eqaution (1) by -3:-

-3x - 3y = -45 .......(3)
3x + 4y = 50 ........(2) Now add (3) and (2);-

y = 5 so he sold 5 pounds of pork

and substituting in equation (1)

x + 5 = 15
x = 10

So he sold 5 pounds of pork and 10 pounsd of chicken.

C=10 & P=5
3C+4P=50
C+P=15
Solve
3C+4P=50
3C+3P=45
Subtract
P=5
Substitute in equation 2
C+P=15
C+5=15
C=10

Vlada [557]

Answer:

There is a $\frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{6}}$ probability that the correct password is found on the sixth try.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have n passwords, only 1 is correct.

So,

Since a password is put back with other, at each try, we have that:

The probability that a password is correct is $\frac{1}{n}$

The probability that a password is incorrect is $\frac{n-1}{n}$ .

There are 6 tries.

We want the first five to be wrong. So each one of the first five tries has a probability of $\frac{n-1}{n}$ . So, for the first five tries, the probability of getting the desired outcome is $\frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{5}}$ .

We want to get it right at the sixth try. The probability of sixth try being correct is $\frac{1}{n}$ .

So, the probability that the first five tries are wrong AND the sixth is correct is:

$P = \frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{5}}\frac{1}{n} = \frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{6}}$

There is a $\frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{6}}$ probability that the correct password is found on the sixth try.

What is the soulution of a+ 5 2/3=9

mafiozo [28]

A + 5 2/3 = 9
a + 17/3 = 9
move the 17/3 over to the other side by subtraction (will need to find a common denominator)

a = 10/3

Hope this helps

What is the range of the function?

True [87]

Answer:

The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of the dependent variable (y, usually), after we have substituted the domain. In plain English, the definition means: The range is the resulting y-values we get after substituting all the possible x-values.
