Answer: E) 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of any member being selected for each of the 3 posts is 1/10 that is they have equal probabilities of being selected for any of the posts.

The probability that harry would be selected for;

Secretary Ps= 1/10

Treasurer Pt = 1/10

So the probability of being selected for either secretary or treasurer is

P = Ps + Pt

P = 1/10 + 1/10

P = 2/10

P = 1/5

Note: ignore the sequence of selection

2x + y = -4<br> 5x - 3y = 1<br><br> Solve with elimination method
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

For the first equation the answer for "X" will be,

x =  \frac{ - 4 - y}{2}

if you want me to solve for y instead then the answer will be,

y =  - 4 - 2x

for the second equation the answer for "X" will be,

x =  \frac{1 + 3y}{5}

If you want me to solve for y instead then the answer will be,

y =  -  \frac{1 - 5x}{3}

Reduce the ratio to its lowest form 50:90
Aleonysh [2.5K]
5:9
You need to find the greatest common factor and divide each side by it.
In this case it is 10... 50/10 = 5   90/10 = 9
So 50:90 = 5:9

Is -5 a solution to the equation 6x +5 = 5x + 8 + 2x? Explain.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

No -5 is not the solution, But x =-3 is the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

6x+5= 5x+8+2x

We need to find the solution for above equation we get;

Solution:

Now when we put the value of x =-5 we get

6x+5 =5x+8+2x\\\\6\times-5+5 = 5\times-5+8+2\times-5\\\\-30+5 = -25+8-10\\\\-25\neq -27

hence -5 is not the Solution for given equation.

On Solving the above equation we get;

6x+5 =7x+8

Now Combining the like terms we get;

7x-6x =5-8

Now Using Subtraction property we get;

x = -3

Hence The solution to equation is -3.
