Answer:

X becomes 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is x^{2} = y

so

Answer:

-8 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

"y varies directly as x" translates into y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

We are told that when x = 16, y = 4.  Thus, 4 = k(16), and k = 1/4.

Then y = (1/4)x.

If y = -2, what is x?    -2 = (1/4)x.

Multiplying both sides by 4 eliminates the fraction:

-8 = x

You bet $50 on 00 in a game of roulette. If the wheel spins 00, you have a net win of $1,750, otherwise you lose the $50. A stan
sesenic [268]

Answer:

-$2.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the expected profit for one spin of the roulette wheel with this bet

Based on the information given you bet $50 on 00 while the standard roulette has 38 possible outcomes which means that the probability or likelihood of getting 00 will be 1/38.

Therefore when we get an 00, we would get the amount of $1,750 with a probability of 1/38 and in a situation where were we get something other than 00 this means we would lose $50 with a probability of 37/38.

Now let find the Expected profit using this formula

Expected profit = sum(probability*value) -sum(probability*value)

Let plug in the formula

Expected profit =($1,750 * 1/38) - ($50 * 37/38)

Expected profit=($1,750*0.026315)-($50×0.973684)

Expected profit= 46.05 - 48.68

Expected profit = - $2.63

Therefore the expected profit for one spin of the roulette wheel with this bet will be -$2.63

Ok so first we find the equation that equals one variable.


2y = -x + 9

3x - 6y = -15


We solve for y.


2y = -x + 9

y = -x/2 + 9/2


Then we plug in this y value into the other equation to keep only one variable so we can solve for it.


3x - 6y = -15

3(-x + 9/2) - 6y = -15

-3x + 27/2 - 6y = -15

-9y + 27/2 = -15

-9y = 3/2

-y = 3/18

y = -3/18


Then we plug in this numerical y-value into the first equation which we found out by solving an equation for y.


y = -x/2 + 9/2

-3/18 = -x/2 + 9/2

-84/18 = -x/2

-x = 9 1/3

x = -28/3


Your answer would be (-28/3, -3/18)


Hope this helps!
