the month of February has 28 days, one week has 7 days, so any day of the week can only occur 28/7 = 4 times on that month, so the chances of getting a Wednesday, namely the favorable outcomes is 4, 4 Wednesdays on the 28 days month.
now, the Wednesdays can be on any date along those 28 days, so the 28 days will be the sample space
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
SR = ST ⇒ Two sides are equal. So, ΔSRT is an isosceles triangle.
The angles opposite to equal sides are equal.
⇒ ∠STR = ∠R
∠STR = 4x - 28
Linear pair: If a ray stands on a line, then the adjacent angles are supplementary and they are called linear pair
∠STR + ∠STU = 180° {linear pair}
4x - 28 + 9x = 180
4x + 9x - 28 = 180 {Combine like terms}
13x- 28 = 180
Add 28 to both the sides
13x = 180 + 28
13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13
x = 208/13
Answer:
(-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation (work shown in attached picture):
1) Since x is already isolated in the first equation, substitute that value for x into the other equation to find y. So, substitute 16-4y for the x in 3x + 4y = 8, then solve for y. This gives us y = 5.
2) Now, substitute that given value for y back into any one of the equations to find x. I chose to do it in the first equation. Substitute 5 for the y in x = 16-4y, then solve for x this time. This gives us x = -4.
Since x = -4 and y = 5, the solution is (-4, 5).
