Answer:

The two numbers are <em>16</em> and <em>26</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question using 2 simultaneous equations based on the given information from the question.

Let number 1 = x

Let number 2 = y

xy = 416 -> ( 1 )

x + y = 42 -> ( 2 )

We can use either substitution or elimination to solve simultaneous equations. For this question, we will use substitution as it is the easier and shorter option.

Make y the subject in ( 2 ):

x + y = 42 -> ( 2 )

y = 42 - x -> ( 3 )

Substitute ( 3 ) into ( 1 ):

xy = 416 -> ( 1 )

x ( 42 - x ) = 416

42x - x^2 = 416

-x^2 + 42x - 416 = 0

- [ x^2 - 42x + 416 ] = 0

- [ x^2 - 16x - 26x + 416 ] = 0

- [ x ( x - 16 ) - 26 ( x - 16 ) ] = 0

- ( x - 16 ) ( x - 26 ) = 0

x = 16 -> ( 4 ) , x = 26 -> ( 5 )

Substitute ( 4 ) into ( 3 ):

y = 42 - x -> ( 3 )

y = 42 - ( 16 )

y = 26

Substitute ( 5 ) into ( 3 ):

y = 42 - x -> ( 3 )

y = 42 - ( 26 )

y = 16

Therefore:

x = 16 , y = 26

x = 26 , y = 16

The two numbers are 16 and 26.

If the probability of surviving a head on car accident at 55 mph is 0.097, then what is the probability of not surviving
BabaBlast [244]

The probability of not surviving a head-on car accident is: 0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities of occurrence and non-occurrence of an event add up to one.

If p is the probability that an even will happen and q is the probability that it will not happen

Then

p+q=1

Here,

Probability of surviving = p = 0.097

Probability of not surviving = q = ?

0.097 + q = 1\\q = 1 - 0.097\\q = 0.903

The probability of not surviving a head-on car accident is: 0.903
