Answer:

Option D. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------>the greatest possible value  

we know that

If four people write the number zero, then the average will be

8=(0+0+0+0+x)/5\\ \\40=0+x\\ \\x=40

2x+4y=0

substitute y with 0

2x+4(0)=0

solve the equation

2x+0=0

2x=0

divide by 2 on both sides

x=0

4x+8y=7

substitute y with 0

4x+8(0)=7

solve the equation

4x+0=7

4x=7

divide by 4 on both sides

x=7/4 or x=1 3/4 or x=1.75

3x-7y=-29

2x+2y=6

solve the bottom equation

3x-7y=-29

x=3-y

substitute for x

3(3-y)-7y=-29

solve the equation

y=19/5

now substitute for y

x=3-\frac{19}{5}

solve for x

x=-4/5

the possible solution of the system is the ordered pair

(x,y)=(-\frac{4}{5} ,\frac{19}{5})

The measure of an angle exceeds 6 times its supplement by 5. find the measure of the angle
MArishka [77]
Supplementary angles must add to 180 degrees. Let x and y be the measure of the two angles.

y= 6x+5
x+y=180

Substitute y
x+6x+5=180
7x+5=180
7x=175
x=25

Plug the value of x in
25+y=180
y=155

Final answer: 155 degrees

Which term best describes two events in which knowledge of one event has no effect on the probability of the other event?
andriy [413]

The correct option is the first one. Independent events are exactly what you're asking for: the information you have on one event doesn't affect in any way the probability of the other.


A classic example is the roll of two dice: assume that you roll the first one and get a 4. Does this imply anything on the outcome of the second die? No, all events 1,2,3,4,5,6 are still equally distributed, no matter the result of the first die.
