Answer:

Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of the book purchased = 15 books

Total amount spend to buy the books = $34

The prices of books are $2 and $3.

Let the number of books purchased at price  $2 = x

Let the number of books purchased at price  $3 = y

Now we have to find the number of books that is bought at $2.

Below are the equations.

x + y = 15

2x + 3y = 34

Now solve for the x,  

x + y = 15

y = 15 – x

Now insert it in the 2x + 3y = 34

2x + 3(15-x) = 34

2x + 45 – 3x = 34

-x = 34 – 45

x = 9

Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be the expanded form of

\large \text{$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$}(x−a)

2

+(y−b)

2

=r

2

where rr is the radius of the circle, (a,\ b)(a, b) is the center of the circle, and (x,\ y)(x, y) is a point on the circle.

Here, the equation of the circle is,

\begin{gathered}\begin{aligned}&x^2+y^2+10x-4y-20&=&\ \ 0\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+y^2+10x-4y+25+4-49&=&\ \ 0\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+y^2+10x-4y+25+4&=&\ \ 49\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+10x+25+y^2-4y+4&=&\ \ 49\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &(x+5)^2+(y-2)^2&=&\ \ 7^2\end{aligned}\end{gathered}

From this, we get two things:

\begin{gathered}\begin{aligned}1.&\ \ \textsf{Center of the circle is $(-5,\ 2)$.}\\ \\ 2.&\ \ \textsf{Radius of the circle is $\bold{7}$ units. }\end{aligned}\end{gathered}

1.

2.

Center of the circle is (−5, 2).

Radius of the circle is 7 units.

Hence the radius is 7 units.

Answer:

  • 30%
  • Unlikely

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The balls - multiples of 3 are:</u>

  • 3, 6 and 9

<u>The probability of a multiple of 3 is:</u>

  • 3 out of 10 or
  • P = 3/10 = 30%

30% probability is in the range 0%-50% so this event is unlikely
