The system of equations have no solution.

Explanation:

The equations are 4r+\frac{1}{2}s=12 and 2r+\frac{1}{4} s=8

To find the two numbers, let us solve the equations using substitution method.

From the equation 2r+\frac{1}{4} s=8, let us determine the value of r,

$\begin{aligned} 2 r+\frac{1}{4} s &=8 \\ 2 r &=8-\frac{1}{4} s \\ r &=\frac{1}{2}\left(8-\frac{1}{4} s\right) \\ r &=4-\frac{1}{8} s \end{aligned}$

Let us substitute the value of r in 4r+\frac{1}{2}s=12, we get,

$\begin{aligned} 4\left(4-\frac{1}{8} s\right)+\frac{1}{2} s &=12 \\ 16-\frac{1}{2} s+\frac{1}{2} s &=12 \\ 16 &=12 \end{aligned}$

which is not possible.

This means that the system has no solution.

White raven [17]

Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are 35 , 36 and 37 years respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are <u>consecutive whole numbers</u> and Stan is the youngest and Wayne is the oldest.

So, lets assume that Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are  n, n+1 and n+2

Given that, the sum of their ages is 108. So, the equation will be.....

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=108\\ \\ 3n+3=108\\ \\ 3n=108-3=105\\ \\ n=\frac{105}{3}=35

So, Stan's age is 35 years , Mark's age is (35+1)= 36 years and Wayne's age is (35+2)= 37 years.

A bag contains 7 pieces of paper numbered 1 to 7. P(2)=. Is
pochemuha

Answer:

P (2) =\frac{1}{7}  Theoretical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

The theoretical probability is defined as:

P = \frac{number\ of\ desired\ results}{number\ of\ possible\ results}

In this case we look for the probability of taking a 2 out of the bag. As there is only one paper with the number 2 in the bag then:

number of desired results = 1

The amount of paper in the bag is equal to 7, so:

number of possible results = 7

Thus:

P (2) =\frac{1}{7}

This is a theoretical probability, since we do not need to perform the experiment to calculate the probability.

To calculate the experimental probability we must perform the following experiment:

Take a paper out of the bag, record the number obtained and then return the paper to the bag.

Now repeat this experiment n times. (Perform n trials)

So:

P (2) = \frac{number\ of\ times\ you\ obtained\ the\ number\ 2}{number\ of\ trials\ performed}

To calculate a theoretical probability you always need to perform an experiment with n trials.
