If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
      (1)       20p + 9t = 44.4
      (2)       (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51

The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.

You are rolling two dice at the same time. What is the probability of rolling a sum of 5 or 9?
baherus [9]
You can get a 5 by rolling :
1 and 4
2 and 3
3 and 2
4 and 1

You can get a 9 by rolling :
3 and 6
4 and 5
5 and 4
6 and 3

There are 36 possible outcomes, hence your probability is \frac{4\cdot2}{36}=\boxed{\frac29}

Consider the following system of equations 2x+3y=45 x+y=10 what is the x value of the solution for this system
scZoUnD [109]
2x + 3y = 45
x + y = 10......y = 10 - x

2x + 3(10 - x) = 45
2x + 30 - 3x = 45
-x + 30 = 45
-x = 45 - 30
-x = 15
x = -15 <====

and y = 25
