The sum of two numbers is 44. The sum of the smaller and 6 times the larger is 159. Find the numbers.

1 answer:

5 0

X + y = 44 (multiply by negative 1)
x + 6y = 159

-x - y = - 44
x + 6y = 159

5y = 145
y = 29

X + 29 = 44
x = 44 - 29
x = 15

<span>X = 15 and y = 29</span>

What is the probability of rolling a number less than or equal to 2 on a six sided die?

The dice only has 6 sides so if you need to roll a 2 or less that only leaves the number one. So it would be 2/6
