X + y = 56 ------------------(1)
x:y = 5:3
x/y = 5/3
3 x = 5 y
so, x = (5/3)y---------------(2)
sub (2) in (1)
x + y = 56
(5/3)y + y = 56
5 y + 3 y = 168
8 y = 168
y = 168 / 8 = 21
x = (5/3) x 21
= 35
the value of x - y = 35 - 21
= 14

Enter the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

raketka [301]

Answer:

y = 5x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

We should use point-slope form to form our equation:

y-1 = 5(x-3)

y-1 = 5x-15

y = 5x-14

Our equation is now in slope-intercept form.

Probability ( a flowering plant or fruit plant) is $\frac{13}{30}$ and Probability (neem plant or peepal plant) is $\frac{29}{60}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of neem plant = 125

Number of peepal plant = 165

Number of creppers plant = 50

Number of fruit plant = 150

Number of flowering plant = 110

To find the probability ( a flowering plant or fruit plant)

and probability ( neem or peepal)

Formula

P( A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Probability ( a flowering plant or fruit plant) = $\frac{110}{600} + \frac{150}{600}$

= $\frac{260}{600}$ = $\frac{13}{30}$

And,

Probability (neem plant or peepal plant) = $\frac{125}{600} +\frac{165}{600}$

= $\frac{290}{600}$ = $\frac{29}{60}$
