Solve by elimination method : x - y = 2 , x + y = 12.

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: (7,5) X=7 and Y=5

Explanation:

Add the two equations together to eliminate y from the system.

x-y=2 + x+y=12
= 2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

x=7

Substitute the value found for x into one of the original equations to solve for y

(7)-y=2

Move all terms to one side to make it easier

-y=2-7

Subtract

y=5

Solve for x in terms of r, s and t : s=2x+t/r

Anna007 [38]

For this case we have the following equation:

$s = \frac {2x + t} {r}$

We must clear the value of the variable "x" as a function of r, s and t:

If we multiply by "r" on both sides of the equation we have:

$rs =2x + t$

If we subtract "t" on both sides of the equation we have:

$rs-t = 2x$

If we divide by "2" on both sides of the equation we have:

$x = \frac {rs-t} {2}$

Thus, the value of the variable "x" is:

$x = \frac {rs-t} {2}$

Answer:

$x = \frac {rs-t} {2}$

The probability of the player missing a shot at least once is 1.00 - 0.70 = 0.3.
Therefore the average number of missed double goals in 2500 trials is given by:
$2500\times0.3=750$
