Answer:

(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

-3x + 2y = 12

x = 2y - 8

You can 'substitute' the expression '2y - 8' for the value of 'x' in the first equation and solve for 'y':

-3(2y - 8) + 2y = 12

Distribute: -6y + 24 + 2y = 12

Combine like terms: -4y + 24 = 12

Subtract 24 from both sides: -4y + 24 - 24 = 12 - 24 or -4y = -12

Divide both sides by -4: -4y/-4 = -12/-4  or y = 3

Use y = 3 to solve for 'x':

x = 2(3) - 8 or 6 - 8

x = -2

(-2, 3)

You are given 3 to 1 odds against tossing three tails with three​ coins, meaning you win ​$3 if you succeed and you lose ​$1 if
valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the E(X) expected value, you come up with the different probabilities for each outcome
  • your set of outcomes after 3 tosses would be = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} where H is heads and T is tails
  • Each element has a probability of 1/8 so let x represent number of tails
  • Probability(x)=P(x)\\P(0)=\frac{1}{8} \\P(1)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(2)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(3)=\frac{1}{8}
  • The E(x)=Summation (x times P(x))
  • E(X)=(0)(0.125)+(1)(0.375)+(2)(0.375)+(3)(0.125)=1.5
  • Now which probability is 1.5 tails? None, so it is either 2 tails or 1 tails
  • So you can expect to lose money in 1 game
  • But as you play more games the probability of getting 3 tails becomes more and more likely, so you can expect to win in a 100 games

Answer:

---

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this probably won't help but, your finding rate, To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.
