What is 2x+y=8 and x-2y=-1

1 answer:

4 0

The solutions of x and y?

2x+y=8...(1)
x-2y=-1...(2)
for (2), x=-1+2y...(3)
sub(3) into(1),
2(-1+2y) +y=8
-2+4y+y=8
5y=10
y=2
sub y=2 into(3)

x=-1+2(2) =3
therefore, x=3,y=2

slavikrds [6]

P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(2x) + 2(4x + 3)
P = 4x + 8x + 6
P = 12x + 6

Suppose a standard twelve-hour clock now shows a time of 10:45 what time will the clock show in a 100 hour from now

o-na [289]

It should show 2:45. You can use 12 hr increments to get you back to 10:45 and 12 goes into 100 nine times bringing it to 96. Because of that you have 4 more hours to add to 10:45 and that brings you to 2:45.

Tom rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21.

Ber [7]

The probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is 0.22

<u>Explanation:</u>

Factor of 21 is = 1, 3, 7, 21

Out of all the factors of 21, we cannot get 21 when the two die are rolled as the maximum sum that can be obtained is 12

The possible combinations are:

(1,2) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,5)

(3,4)

(4,3)

(5,2)

(6,1)

Total outcome = 6 X 6

= 36

Number of outcomes that is the factor of 21 is 8

The probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is $\frac{8}{36}$

p(21) = 0.22

Therefore, the probability of getting a total that is a factor of 21 is 0.22
