Answer:

x = 53/6 , y = -55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

x+y = -1/3 ........... (1)

x-y = 18...............(2)

This is a simultaneous equation we will use elimination method.

Add equation 1 and 2

2x = 18 -  ⅓

2x = 17⅔

2x = 53/3

Multiply both sides by 3

6x = 53

Divide both sides by 6

x = 53/6

Put x = 53/6 into equation 1

x+y = -⅓

53/6  + y = - ⅓

y = -⅓ - 53/6

y = -55/6

Therefore x = 53/6 , y = -55/6

I hope this was helpful, please mark as brainliest

Theo is renting two kinds of tables for his party. One type of table seats 4 people and the other seats 6 people. If 36 people w
Alona [7]

3 tables are 4-seated table and 4 tables are 6-seated table.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Let us assume,

The 4 seats table be type A table and the 6 seats table be type B table.

  • The number of type A seat = x
  • The number of type B seat = y
  • Total table rented = 7 tables
  • Total people in party = 36 people

x+y = 7  --------(1)

4x+6y = 36  -------(2)

Multiply (1) by 6 and subtract (2) from (1)

  6x+6y = 42

- (<u>4x+6y = 36</u>)

  <u> 2x      = 6  </u>

x = 6/2

x = 3

The number of 4 seated table is 3.

Substitute x=3 in (1)

3+y = 7

y = 4

The number of 6 seated table is 4.

A market research firms conducts studies regarding the success of new products. The company is not always perfect in predicting
Taya2010 [7]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.7273.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                                Actually successful   Actually failure   Total

Predicted successful                0.4                  0.15            0.55

Predicted failure                        0.1                  0.35             0.45

Total                                           0.5                  0.50                 1

Probability that the market research firm would predict that it would be success.

P(Actual success|Predicted success) is given by

\dfrac{0.4}{0.55}=0.7273

Hence, our required probability is 0.7273.

1. Suzette ran and biked for a total of 44.75 mi in 4 h. Her average running speed was 6.5 mph and
Andru [333]

Suzette ran for 1.6 hours and biked for 2.4 hours.

Let x = total hours Suzette ran.

Let y = total hours Suzette biked.

The equation to solve the question will be:

x + y = 4 ...... i

6.5x + 14y = 44.75 ....... ii

From i, y = 4 - x

Put the value of y into equation ii

6.5x + 14y = 44.75

6.5x + 14(4 - x) = 44.75

6.5x + 56 - 14x = 44.75

Collect like terms

6.5x - 14x = 44.75 - 56

-7.5x = -11.25

x = 11.25/7.5

x = 1.6 hours

Since x + y = 4

1.6 + y = 4

y = 4 - 1.6

y = 2.4 hours.

Suzette ran for 1.6 hours and biked for 2.4 hours.
