We can use the system of equations:x + y = 217x - y = 85-----------------From the 2nd equation:  y = x - 85x + x - 85 = 2172 x = 217 + 852 x = 302x = 302 : 2x = 151y = 217 - 151y = 66We can prove this solution:151 + 66 = 2017   and  151 - 66 = 85.Answer: those numbers are 151 and 66.

Solve. 3(x-6)-2(2x+3)=14
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

x=-38

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−6)−2(2x+3)=14

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+(−2)(2x)+(−2)(3)=14(Distribute)

3x+−18+−4x+−6=14

(3x+−4x)+(−18+−6)=14(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−24=14

−x−24=14

Step 2: Add 24 to both sides.

−x−24+24=14+24

−x=38

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

38

−1

x=−38

On a 8.5 x 11 inches (or larger) paper, create a carnival game (for example it could be: throwing a dart at a target, ball throu
Keith_Richards [23]

The probability of winning the game is 0.065

<h3>The description of the game</h3>

The game involves throwing two darts at two targets.

To win the game, the darts must hit anywhere in the following shapes

  • Rectangle: 5 by 4 inches
  • Circle: Radius, r = 3 inches

<h3>The probability of winning</h3>

The area of the paper is:

Area = 8.5 inches * 11 inches

Area = 93.5 square inches

The area of the rectangle on the paper is:

Area = 5 inches * 4 inches

Area = 20 square inches

The area of the circle on the paper is:

Area = π * (3 inches)²

Area = 28.3 square inches

The probability of landing on both shapes is

P(Both) = 20/93.5 * 28.3/93.5

Evaluate

P(Both) = 0.065

Hence, the probability of winning the game is 0.065
