Answer: y = -5
Substitute in 3 for x.
x - y = 8 Substitution
3 - y = 8 Subtract 3 from both sides
-y = 5 Divide by -1 to both sides
y = -5 Answer!
You can also check your work.
x - y = 8
3 - (-5) = 8
3 + 5 = 8
8 = 8
Before we do this problem, let's go over a little algebra terminology.
The number in front of your variable is called your <em>coefficient </em>and notice that the <em>x</em> at the end of the problem does not have a coefficient.
When that happens, when there is no number in front of your variable, you can put a 1 there to fill that position. So -x can be thought of as -1x.
Next let's change all our minus signs to plus negatives.
So the problem reads 3x + 5 + 7x + -3 + -1x + 2.
Now let's simplify this by combining like terms.
We can combine our "x" terms first.
3x + 7x + -1x simplifies to +9x.
Now, 5 + -3 + 2 simplifies to 4.
So our answer is 9x + 4.
Answer:
0.0906
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the prevalence of a certain type of tree allergy is 0.26 in the general population
X- the no of persons having tree allergy is binomial since each persons is independent of the other and there are two outcomes.
Here n = 100
Required probability = the probability that exactly 26 of them will have this allergy
=
