Answer:

x=5 and y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

You "plug" one equation into the other, to get a new equation that only has one variable (x or y), then you can simplify that and have your answer.

So let's plug the first into the second:

First, we convert the first equation into an x=... form. For this one, this means moving the +y to the other side:

x = 10 - y

Now we substitute 10-y for x in the second equation:

So 2x+4y=30 becomes:

2(10-y) + 4y = 30

And simplify that:

20 - 2y + 4y = 30

20 + 2y = 30

2y = 30-20

2y = 10

y = 5

This is the first answer! If we put this into the first equation, we get:

x = 10 - 5 = 5

Now we have both answers, x=5 and y=5

Answer:

1) Multiplying powers with the same base would be product rule. It where you just add the exponents. Dividing powers with the same base would be the quotient rule. Its where you subtract the exponents.

2)Where you multiply the two exponents together

3)The negative law is where for example, if it were in the numerator, then it would be placed at the denominator with a positive exponent whereas if it were in the denominator it would be on the numerator with the positive exponent. The zero law just states the anything to the power to zero is one.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 3^3 x 3^4 = 3 ^3+4 = 3^7

3^9 ÷3² = 3^9-2 = 3^7

2) (3^2)^2 = 3^2×2 =3^4

3) 1/3^-5 = 3^5 \

3^-7 =1/3^7

2^0 = 1

the mantle layer of earth begins about 70 kilometers underneath the surface. The layer called the outer core begins about 2970 k

Given:
mantle layer of earth begins about 70 kilometers underneath the surface
outer core begins about 2970 kilometers underneath the surface

Since we need to find the position of each layer relative to the surface, the surface will serve as the point of origin or 0. Below the surface infers a negative value. So, Mantle layer is -70 km from the surface while outer core is -2970 km under the surface.

Comparing -70 and -2970, -70 has a greater value than -2970. The nearer the number is to the origin or 0, the higher its value.

Comparing the absolute greater value of -70 and -2970, -2970 has a greater absolute value. This is because absolute value is the positive value of the number. Absolute value of -70 is 70 while absolute value of -2970 is 2970. Thus, -2970 has a greater absolute value.

The chance of winning based on the type of lottery tickets we purchase is 0.05, or 1 in 20. We will play each saturday until we

Answer:

Given that the probability of winning is = 0.05

So the probability of losing is = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95.

We are told we have a 1 in 20 chance

Success: 0.05

Failure: 0.95

P(X=4)= 0.95*0.95*0.95*0.05

So the chance is 0.04286 or Option D
