Answer:

4pq(p³+q³)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly 5 game would be when 4 wins and 1 loss of a particular person

loss has to be one of the first 4 games

A wins: qp⁴ + pqp³ + p²qp² + p³qp

= qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ = 4qp⁴

B wins: pq⁴ + qpq³ + q²pq² + q³pq

= pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ = 4pq⁴

A wins or B wins:

4pq⁴ + 4qp⁴ = 4pq(q³+p³)

How do you solve the system:<br> y+1=2x<br> 5y+5=10x
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

choose "infinitely more solutions"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this system by substitution method

y+1=2x

- 1 = - 1

y = 2x -1   <-- sbstitute this in the next equation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5y+5 = 10x

5(2x -1) + 5 = 10x

10x -5 + 5 = 10x

10x + 0= 10x

- 10x = -10x

0 = 0      <-- infinitely more solutions
