2x+5y=12

1 answer:

8 0

Y = -3x - 1......so we sub in -3x - 1 in for y in the other equation

2x + 5y = 12
2x + 5(-3x - 1) = 12....now distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
2x - 15x - 5 = 12...add 5 to both sides
2x - 15x = 12 + 5..combine like terms
-13x = 17...divide both sides by -13
x = -17/13
now sub in -17/13 for x in the other equation
y = -3x - 1
y = -3(-17/13) - 1
y = 51/13 - 1
y = 51/13 - 13/13
y = 38/13

so the solution is (-17/13, 38/13)

8. There are 10 balls in a bag numbered from 1 to 10. Three balls are selected at random without replacement.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a. 720

b. 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Three balls are selected at random without replacement.

First ball can be selected in 10 ways

Second ball can be selected in 9 ways

Third ball can be selected in 8 ways

Thus, there are 10×9×8 =720 different ways of selecting three balls.

There are three cases that satisfy this condition

first ball picked is 5, the others are not
first ball is not 5, second is 5, third is not
first and second ball is not five, third ball is 5

Each probabilities are:

$\frac{1}{10} * \frac{9}{9} *\frac{8}{8} =\frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{9}{10} *\frac{1}{9} *\frac{8}{8} =\frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{9}{10} *\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{8} =\frac{1}{10}$

Thus, one of the balls selected is the number 5 is then $\frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$

Rewrite as a power of 10: 1/10

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to know how negative exponents "work" to understand this concept.

$\frac{1}{10}=10^{-1$ because if you want to make a negative exponent positive you put what the exponent is on under a 1. It follows then that you can go backwards from that and rewrite positive fractions with negative exponents.
