4x=y+47, we can subtract 47 from both sides to get:
4x-47=y, now we know what y equals in terms of x, so we can substitute that in to the other equation:
2x+3y=55 becomes 2x+3*(4x-47)=55 which becomes:
2x+12x-141=55 which becomes 14x-141=55 and we can add 141 to both sides:
14x=196, divide 14 by both sides, we get x=14, which we can substitute back into the y=equation:
4x-47=y becomes 14*4-47=y which becomes y=9
x=14, y=9
x-y=14-9=5

Which of the following represents
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is -0.904.

We need to represent the number in scientific notation.

Any number can be written in scientific notation as follows :

a\times 10^b

Where

a is a real number and b is an integer

We can write it as follows :

-0.904=-9.04\times 10^{-1}

Hence, the correct option is (c).

You have a jar of jelly beans in front of you
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: The probability of selecting either a lime or bubble gum followed by a papaya is 425/2209

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, there are four types of items in the jar, namely- lime, papaya, mango and bubble gum that have quantities of 12, 17, 5 and 13 respectively. Before finding the probabilities, we first add up the quantities or number of different items in the jar.

12 + 17 + 5 + 13 = 47 in total.

Since lime is 12 in number, the probability of selecting a lime is = 12/47.

Bubble gums are 13 in number, so the probability of selecting a bubble gum = 13/47.

Then the probability of selecting either a lime or a bubble gum is the addition of the probabilities of selecting a lime and selecting a bubble gum:

= 12/47 + 13/47

= 25/47.

Again, the probability of selecting a papaya is =

number of papaya/total number of items

= 17/47

If the system is with replacement, then the probability of selecting a lime or bubble gum followed by a papaya is:

= Probability of selecting a lime or bubble gum × Probability of selecting papaya

= 25/47 × 17/47

= 425/2209

The probability of selecting a lime or bubble gum followed by a papaya is 425/2209
