The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.

Solve the system of equations.<br><br>- 9x + 4y = 6<br><br>9x + 5y = -33​
liubo4ka [24]

Let us solve this system of equations by using the elimination method. Adding the 2 equations, we get

9x + 5y - 9x + 4y = -33 + 6

9y = -27

y = -3

Substituting this value of y in the first equation, we get

-9x + 4(-3) = 6

-9x - 12 = 6

9x + 12 = -6

9x = -18

x = -2

Therefore, x = -2, and y = -3. Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Plz help me plz I really need help
Zolol [24]

Step 1: 198 ×\frac{1}{3} = 66, the number of men who left the party

Step 2: 256×\frac{1}{4}= 64, the number of women who left the party

66+64=130

Since 130 is the number of people that left, you would subtract it from the total number of people at the party originally.

198+256=454

454-130=325

So, 325 people are left at the party
