Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y = 3 ( x2 for everything in the equation)

x - 4y = -1

4x+ 4y = 6

x - 4y = -1

Add the 1st line to the 2nd line to get rid of the y:

5x = 5

x - 4y = -1 ( you can pick any line from this system to be the second equation in this step, you can put 2x + 2y = 3 or 4x+ 4y = 6, anything above this step, but to make it simple chose the one you think is the easiest)

Solve for x, then plug the x value into the 2nd equation

x = 1

1 - 4y = -1

x = 1

-4y = -2 =) y = 1/2

x = 1

y= 1/2

Rosa is attending an event where prizes are being given away. The probability of winning a T‐shirt is 0.89 and the probability o

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It is very likely that Rosa wins both prizes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of winning a T‐shirt is 0.89 and the probability of winning a $20 gift certificate is 0.05. Which statement correctly describes the chances of Rosa winning a T‐shirt or a $20 gift certificate?

We have these three possibe outcomes.

Win t-shirt(0.89 probability) and lose the gift certiciate(1 - 0.05 = 0.95 probability)

Lose t-shirt(0.11 probability) and win the gift certiciate(0.05 probability).

Win both.

$p = 0.89*0.95 + 0.11*0.05 + 0.89*0.05 = 0.8955$

0.8955 = 89.55% probability of Rosa winning a T‐shirt or a $20 gift certificate, which is considered a very likely probability. So the answer is:

It is very likely that Rosa wins both prizes.

What is the answer for this

Eva8 [605]

1). 2x-1=5 (cause x can really be anything) solve the equation to get x=3 or in this case, triangle = 3.

2). Using the info from above, we get the equation 3+x=1.
Solving this equation we get, x (square) =-2.

3). Using all the info from the above problems we get the equation: 3-2*-2=x
Solving that we see that x (star) equals 7.

In conclusion:

Triangle=3
Square=-2
Star=7
