The question being the case, the equation is: 8x + 6y = 136.
Where x is the number of hours spent on job A and y is the number of house spent on job B. Now to solve for both variables.
Notice that if you add x and y, you should get a total of 20 hours so x + y = 20.
To get x, x = 20 - y. Replace the answer on the original equation gives you 8(20-y) + 6y = 136. 
160 - 8y + 6y = 136
160 - 2y = 136
-2y = 136 - 160
-2y = -24
<span>Solve for y by dividing both sides of this equation by -2 to get y:
y = 12
Replace y on the x + y = 20 equation to get x.
x + 12 = 20
x = 20 = 12
x = 8

Therefore:
x = 8 hours on job A
y = 12 hours on job B

Hope this helps!</span>

A box has 11 marbles, 3 of which are white and 8 of which are red. A sample of 4 marbles are selected randomly from the box with
aliina [53]

14/99

Select 1 marble; the chance that it is white is 4/12. Select a 2nd marble; the chance that it is white is 3/11. Select a 3rd; the chance it is white is 2/10. Select a 4th; the chance it is red is 8/9. Select a 5th; the chance it is red is 7/8. The chance of getting this specific set of 5 marbles in this order is (4/12)×(3/11)×(2/10)×(8/9)×(7/8)=(2×7)/(11×10×9).

This specific set could occur in the permutation of 5 things taken 5 at a time where 3 are identical (white), and the other 2 are also identical (red). The formula for this is 5!/(3!2!)=10.

Combining the chance of getting white, white, white, red, red with the number of ways 3 white and 2 red could have been distributed in the draw of 5 marbles gives the answer:

{(2×7)/(11×10×9)}×10=14/99

A similar process will show that the chance of getting 5 red marbles is 7/99; 4 white and 1 red is 1/99; 2 white and 3 red is 42/99; and 1 white and 4 red is 35/99.

Find the volume of a cone with a base diameter of 12 m and a height of 10 m.
dexar [7]

Answer:

=376.8 m^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

V=nr^{2}  \frac{h}{3}  Where V is the volume , r is the radius and h is the perpendicular height .

r = \frac{12}{2} m=6

h = 10m

n=3.14

v= 3.14 * 6*6 *\frac{10}{3}

=376.8 m^{3}
