Answer:
12/13
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total number of outcomes.
Assuming that this is a standard deck of playing cards, there will be 52 cards, and there will be 4 "4" cards.
First, find the number of desired outcomes, and put it over the total number of outcomes.
Out of the total number of outcomes (52), there are 4 outcomes that are not wanted, hence the equation is:
52 - 4 = 48
So out of the 52 possible outcomes, 48 are desired. Set up the fraction and
simplify:
48/52
/4 /4
= 12/13
Answer: The equation is W^2 + 4W - 96= 0
{Please note that ^2 means raised to the power of 2}
Step-by-step explanation: We have been given hints as to the measurement of the length and width of the rectangle. The length is given as four more than the width. What that means is that whatever is the width, we simply add four to get the measurement of the length. Therefore if the width is W, then the length is W + 4.
That is,
L = W + 4 and
W = W
Also we have the area given as 96.
Remember that the area of a rectangle is given as
Area = L x W.
In this question, the Area is expressed as
Area = (W + 4) x W
96 = W^2 + 4W
Subtract 96 from both sides of the equation and we have
W^2 + 4W - 96 = 0.
We now have a quadratic equation from which we can determine the dimensions of the rectangle
Either 75 or 105 would be my answer
Answer:
x=2 and y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the two equations to remove "y" and solve for x:
4x+8y=16
6x-8y=4
________
10x=20
x=2
Plug x=2 into one of the original equations to get the value of "y":
4x+8y=16
4(2)+8y=16
8+8y=16
8y=8
y=1
Therefore, x=2 and y=1
