Answer:
x=-1 y=1 z=-.7?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
0.80A + 0.92B = 63 .....1
A + B = 75 ......2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A and B represent the total possible score in part A and B respectively;
Analysing each sentence of the question;
Sam scored 80% on Part A of a math test and 92% on part B of the math test. His total mark on the test was 63
80% of A + 92% of B = 63
0.80A + 0.92B = 63 ......1
The total possible marks for the test was 75;
A + B = 75 .....2
So, equation 1 and 2 provides a set of simultaneous equations that can be used to represent and solve the situation.
Solving the simultaneous equations, we will arrive at;
Part A = 50
Part B = 25
Pick 1: 6 yellow out of 15 total marbles = 6/15 = 2/5
Pick 2: 6 yellow out of 15 total marbles = 6/15 = 2/5
Pick 1 AND Pick 2
2/5 x 2/5 = 4/25
