A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit

"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5

The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]

The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42

The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42

Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out

-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1

then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y

1 + y = 5
y = 4

remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (0,8) and (-1, –4).
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

First, let's remember the equation for point-slope form and how to find the 'm' value:

y-y1 = m (x-x1)\\m = rise/run\\m = \frac{-4-(8)}{-1-(0)} = 12

Now plug your m value and (x1, y1) into point-slope form:

y - 8 = 12(x-0)\\reduce\\y=12x+8

Suppose that you draw two cards from a deck. After drawing the first card, you do not put the first card back in the deck. What
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.05882.

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck of cards have 52 cards, 13 cards of each suit.

We are drawing two cards without replacement.

We need to find the probability of getting a diamond as the first card.

Favorable outcomes are 13 and total number of outcomes are 52.

Thus this probability is \frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}.

Now for the next draw we again want to pick a diamond card.

Favorable outcomes are 12 and total number of leftover cards are 51.

Thus this probability is \frac{12}{51}.

Now the probability that both cards are diamonds is \frac{1}{4} × \frac{12}{51} = \frac{3}{51} = \frac{1}{17} = 0.0588235 ≈ 0.05882
