The probability that the major of one student that is selected at random is engineering can be calculated by the total number of engineering major divided by the total number of students

p = engineering / total students
p = 300 / ( 300 + 700 + 500)
p = 0.2 is the probability of the major of one student is engineering

Solve by elimination using subtraction.<br> 2x + y = -5<br> 2x - 5y = 13
spayn [35]

Answer:

(- 1, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = - 5 → (1)

2x - 5y = 13 → (2)

Subtracting (1) from (2) term by term will eliminate the x-0 term

0 - 5y - y = 13 - (- 5) , that is

- 6y = 18 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

y = - 3

Substitute y = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x - 3 = - 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 1

solution is (- 1, - 3 )

write the equation that describes the line in slope-intercept form. slope = 4, point (3, −2) is on the line y = 4x 14 y = 4x − 2
amid [387]
Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is any point on the line.

y - (-2) = 4(x - 3)
y + 2 = 4x - 12
y = 4x - 12 - 2
y = 4x - 14

Can someone help me!!!
zhuklara [117]
The rectangle was basically cut into two right angles so all you have to find is the length of the triangle. Using what we know which is the h<span>ypotenuse and the height, use the equation x= the square root of c^2 - a^2.

The base is x = 9.17 in</span>

Find the length of X in simplest radical form with a rational denominator
Darya [45]

Answer:

x = \sqrt 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find x

Considering angle 30 degrees,

Opposite = \sqrt{2

Adjacent = x

Using the tangent formula:

tan\ 30 = \frac{\sqrt 2}{x}

Make x the subject

x = \frac{\sqrt 2}{tan\ 30}

x = \frac{\sqrt 2}{1/\sqrt 3}

x = \sqrt 2 * \sqrt 3

x = \sqrt 6
