$x-\ pumpkins\\
y-\ squashes\\\\
y=x+6\\
3y+5x=98\\\\3(x+6)+5x=98\\
3x+18+5x=98\\
8x+18=98\ \ | subtract\ 18\\
8x=80\ \ | divide\ by\ 8\\
x=10\\
y=10+6=16\\\\
They\ sold \ 10\ pumpkins\ and\ 16\ squashes.$

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of coins tossed = 10

Possible outcomes to toss a coin = Head or tail

Number of possible outcomes = $2^{10}=1024$

Number of ways of obtaining exactly 1 heads = ${10}C_1=\dfrac{10!}{1!9!}$ [using combinations $^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ ]

=10

Hence, the numbers of ways of obtaining exactly 1 heads= 10
