Answer:

<em>Probability that the spinner will stop on an odd number or a multiple of 5 is </em><em>0.6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = \frac{Required outcomes}{Total possible outcomes}

We are given the equal regions numbered from 1 through 20 which means that our total possible outcomes are 20

<em>Total possible outcomes: 20</em>


<em>Outcomes that spinner will stop on an odd number, n(Odd): 10</em>

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

Probability of spinner stoping on Odd number:

P(Odd) = \frac{n(Odd)}{Total} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5


Outcomes that spinner will stop on a multiple of 5, n(5): 4

5, 10, 15, 20

Probability of spinner stoping on multiple of 5:

P(5) = \frac{n(5)}{Total} = \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

Odd numbers which are a multiple of 5 are: 5 and 15

So,

P(Odd and 5) = \frac{2}{20}=\frac{1}{10}=0.1

Thus Probability of spinner stopping at odd number or a multiple of 5 becomes:

P(Odd or 5) = P(Odd) + P(5) - P(Odd and 5) = 0.5 + 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.6

For which value(s) of x will the rational expression below equal zero? Check all that apply.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

x = 5 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function of x to be;

f(x) = (x-5)(x+2)/x+1

The value of x that will make the function zero can be calculated for by equating the given function to zero first to have;

If f(x) = 0, then;

(x-5)(x+2)/x+1 = 0

Cross multiplying;

(x-5)(x+2) = 0

(x-5) = 0 and x+2 = 0

x = 5 and x = -2

The value of x that will make the function zero is therefore 5 and -2

What is the solution to the system of equations?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

x=-4 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

−3x−8y=20;y=5x+19

Rewrite equations:

y=5x+19;−3x−8y=20

Step: Solve y=5x+19for y:

y=5x+19

Step: Substitute5x+19foryin−3x−8y=20:

−3x−8y=20

−3x−8(5x+19)=20

−43x−152=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−43x−152+152=20+152(Add 152 to both sides)

−43x=172

−43x

−43

=

172

−43

(Divide both sides by -43)

x=−4

Step: Substitute−4forxiny=5x+19:

y=5x+19

y=(5)(−4)+19

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−4 and y=−1
