Answer: the first number is 11 38/41

The second number is 10 4/41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number.

Let y represent the second number.

4 times one number plus 3 times the other is 78. It means that

4x + 3y = 78- - - - - - - - - -1

3 times the first number minus 8 times the other is -45. It means that

3x - 8y = - 45- - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 4. It becomes

12x + 9y = 234

12x - 32y = - 180

Subtracting, it becomes

41y = 414

y = 414/41

y = 10 4/41

Substituting y = 414/41 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 3 × 414/41 = 78

4x + 1242/41 = 78

4x = 78 - 1242/41

4x = 1956/41

x = 1956/41 × 1/4

x = 1956/164

x = 11 38/41

A gumball machine has just been filled with 50 black, 150 white, 100 red and 100 yellow gum balls that have been thoroughly mixe
Andrew [12]
<span>Exactly 33/532, or about 6.2% This is a conditional probability, So what we're looking for is the probability of 2 gumballs being selected both being red. So let's pick the first gumball. There is a total of 50+150+100+100 = 400 gumballs in the machine. Of them, 100 of the gumballs are red. So there's a 100/400 = 1/4 probability of the 1st gumball selected being red. Now there's only 399 gumballs in the machine and the probability of selecting another red one is 99/399 = 33/133. So the combined probability of both of the 1st 2 gumballs being red is 1/4 * 33/133 = 33/532, or about 0.062030075 = 6.2%</span>

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Yes, they are proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this from what I found helped me answer the question, and if you compare their ratios, they are both going to show that 75% each class have texted:

Proportional: When quantities have the same relative size. In other words they have the same ratio.

All you would have to do is compare the amount of students that texted(x) to the amount of students there are total in the class(y). When you compare them in a y:x format, it will all lead up to the results showing that 75% of both groups have texted.

Compare and contrast perpendicular bisected and altitude
elena55 [62]
A perpendicular bisector forms two right angles and splits the line in two equal parts.

The altitude does create two right angles, but doesn't have to create two equal parts.
