Answer:

\frac{1}{8} chance or 12.5% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

2 male <em>percussionists</em>

2 female <em>percussionists</em>

3 male <em>woodwinds</em>

<u>2 </u><u>female</u><u> </u><u><em>woodwinds</em></u>

4 male <em>brass players</em>

3 female <em>brass players</em>

We're looking for a female <em>woodwind. </em>Now there is only 2 of them so we get the female woodwinds out of all the jazz band members or \frac{2}{16} or \frac{1}{8} or 12.5% chance.

5x + 2y=7<br> - 2x + 6y=9
ollegr [7]

Answer:

x = \frac{12}{17} or 0.706

y = \frac{59}{34} or 1.735

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y=7    ----->(eq 1)

- 2x + 6y=9 ----->(eq 2)

Multiply (eq 1) with 3

3×(5x + 2y) = 3×7  

15x + 6y = 21  ----->(eq 3)

substract (eq 3) from (eq 2)

- 2x + 6y - (15x + 6y) = 9-21

- 2x + 6y - 15x - 6y = 9-21

- 2x - 15x + 6y - 6y = 9-21

-17x = -12

x = -12 ÷ -17

x = \frac{12}{17}

put x = \frac{12}{17} in (eq 1)

5*\frac{12}{17} + 2y = 7

2y = 7- 5*\frac{12}{17}

2y = \frac{7*17 - 60}{17}

2y = \frac{119- 60}{17}

2y = \frac{59}{17}

y = \frac{59}{17*2}

y = \frac{59}{34}
