The total number of students is 14+36, or 50. So the chance that a selected student is female is 36/50, or 18/25.
Answer:
Simplifying 9m + -3 + -7m = 0
Reorder the terms: -3 + 9m + -7m = 0
Combine like terms: 9m + -7m = 2m -3 + 2m = 0 Solving -3 + 2m = 0
Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation. -3 + 3 + 2m = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0 0 + 2m = 0 + 3 2m = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3 2m = 3
Divide each side by '2'. m = 1.5

Answer: 3 miles per hour
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the formula "distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)" to create a system of equations.
Let "r" represent the rate they are rowing
Let "c" represent the current
time rate distance <u>EQUATION</u>
Downstream: 4 hours r + c 40 miles 4(r + c) = 40
Upstream: 10 hours r - c 40 miles 10(r - c) = 40
Distribute, then eliminate r to solve for c:
Down: 4r + 4c = 40 → 5(4r + 4c = 40) → 20r + 20c = 200
Up: 10r - 10c = 40 → -2(10r - 10c = 40) → <u>-20r + 20c</u> =<u> -80</u>
40c = 120
<u> ÷40 </u> <u>÷40 </u>
c = 3
