Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Total marbles = 2 + 7 = 9
P(Purple, then white) = (7/9)(2/8) = 7/36
Answer: 7/36
Answer:
Your answer: 5.(4,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please mark brainliest and have a nice night/day!!
Let Peter's hit be x and Alice's runs be y.
x = 2(y - 6) . . . (1)
x + y = 18 . . . (2)
Putting (1) into (2) gives,
2y - 12 + y = 18
3y = 18 + 12 = 30
y = 30/3 = 10
x = 2(10 - 6) = 2(4) = 8
Therefore, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 home runs.
From the secon equation, we can find x in terms of y by doing:
x = 2 + y
Pluggin this value of x in the first equation:
2(2 + y) - 2y = 14
4 = 14
We reached a false statement, which means that the given system of equations has no solutions. Another way to verify that would be by dividing the first equation by 2. Doing so, we would have equation 1: x - y = 7 and equation 2: x - y = 2, which is clearly impossible!
