Answer:

A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-value in the solution to this system of linear equation, we will follow the steps below:

4x + 5y = −12 ------------------------------------------------------(1)

-2x + 3y = −16 -----------------------------------------------------(2)

Multiply through equation (1) by 2 and multiply through equation (2) by 4 to make the x coefficient have equal value

8x + 10y = -24 ---------------------------------------------------(3)

-8x + 12y = -64 ---------------------------------------------------(4)

Add equation (1) and equation (2)

22y = -88

Divide both-side of the equation by 22

22y/ 22 = -88/ 22

y =-4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x + 5y = - 12 → (1)

- 2x + 3y = - 16 → (2)

Eliminate the x- term by multiplying (2) by 2 and adding the result to (1)

- 4x + 6y = - 32 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

11y = - 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )

y = - 4

What is the probability that at least one of a pair of fair dice lands of 5, given that the sum of the dice is 8?

o-na [289]

Answer:

0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

to find out the probability that at least one of a pair of fair dice lands of 5, given that the sum of the dice is 8

Let A = sum of dice is 8

B = one lands in 5

P(B/A) = P(AB)/P(A) by conditional probability

P(AB) = sum is 8 and one is 5

So (5,3) or (3,5)

P(A) = sum is 8.

i.e. (2,6) (2,6) (3,5) (5,3) (4,4)

Required probability

= n(AB)/n(A)

= $\frac{2}{5} =0.40$

4/5 minus 1/3 plz i need help

Answer:

7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 4 by 3, and get 12.

Then we multiply 1 by 5, and get 5.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 5 × 3 = 15.

So now our fractions look like this:

−

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

12 − 5 = 7

So the answer is:

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 11...

No good. 11 is larger than 7. So we're done reducing.
