Let number of  fives = x then number of ones = 3x  and number of tens = x - 1

so we can create the equation 

x + 3x +  x-1 + y = 26  where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27

also we have the equation 

5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120

18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x    + y    = 27     multiply  by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x  = 5,  that is  5 fives

Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y =  40
y =  2 ,   that is 2 twenties

So the answer is   there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5  fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties

Complete each statement. An event with a probability of 0 is An event with a probability of 1 is
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

An event with a probability of 0 is impossible.  

An event with a probability of 1 is certain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is typically expressed in terms of a fraction between 0 and 1 where the denominator is the total number of outcomes and the numerator is the number of desired outcomes.  Since probability is expressed as a fraction, if the probability is 0, that means it is impossible, or there is no chance that the event can happen.  However, if the probability is 1, that means that the event is certain to happen and the odds are completely in your favor that the event will happen.

Which is the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin with foci on x-axis, x-intercepts +7, -7 and y-intercepts +2,
Aleks04 [339]
We know that
<span>foci on x-axis-------> is a ellipse with horizontal major axis

the equation is
(x</span>²/a²)+(y²/b²)=1

major axis is th<span>e </span>x<span>-axis with length </span><span>2<span>a
2a=14--------> a=7

</span></span>minor axis is the y<span>-axis with length </span><span>2<span>b
2b=4-----> b=2

the equation is
</span></span>(x²/a²)+(y²/b²)=1------> (x²/7²)+(y²/2²)=1-----> (x²/49)+(y²/4)=1

the answer is
(x²/49)+(y²/4)=1

see the attached figure

X-3y=7 and 2x-6y=12 solving by elimination
Ber [7]

x-3y=7    2x-6y=12

You can multiply -2 in the first equation like this.

x+6y=7

2x-6y=12

Now you can eliminate 6y and -6y so cross them out and do x-2 which is -1 and 7-12 which is -5 -1/-5 would be .2
