In which line is a mistake first made when solving the following system of equations by elimination for x? 5x + 3y = 12 4x - 5y

= 17
Line 1
25x + 15y = 60
4x - 5y = 17

Line 2
25x + 15y = 60
20x - 15y = 85

Line 3

- in the second line bc. the second equation we need multiplie just by 3 and ot by 5 
- so there above was multiplied by 5 and so than 5*(-5y) not equal -15y so this is equal -25y

Five cards (a hand) are dealt from a randomly shuffled deck of cards. For those of you that are not familiar with playing cards:
sp2606 [1]

Answer: 0.0004951

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Five cards are from the deck

The total number of cards in the deck is 52

total spades card is 13

We have to choose 5 cards out of 13, this can be done in

\Rightarrow ^{13}C_5

The probability of choosing 5 spade cards is

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^{13}C_5}{^{52}C_5}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1287}{2598960}=0.0004951

fifty percent of the people that get mail-order catalogs order something. find the probability that exactly tw0 of 10 people get
valkas [14]
Given: 

50% of the people that get mail-order catalogs order something. 

Determine the probability that exactly 2 out of 10 people getting the catalogs will order something.


If the total number of people is 10, we can calculate the number of people who will order something from the catalogs:

10 * 0.50 = 5 people. 

The probability that exactly two out of ten people will order something is:

2/5 = 0.4

Therefore, there is a 40% chance that the exact two people who received the catalogs will order something from it.

How do i do trigonometric ratios using tangent?
const2013 [10]

Answer: If we look at the general definition - tan x=OAwe see that there are three variables: the measure of the angle x, and the lengths of the two sides (Opposite and Adjacent).So if we have any two of them, we can find the third. In the figure above, click 'reset'. Imagine we didn't know the length of the side BC.We know that the tangent of A (60°) is the opposite side (26) divided by the adjacent side AB - the one we are trying to find. tan 60°=BC15From our calculator we find that tan 60° is 1.733...

I need help, please answer A and B.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

a. 81 square inches

b. 108 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of all 5 squares combined is 405 square inches. This is 5 times the area of 1 square. 405/5 = 81. The area of 1 square is 81 square inches.

Since this is a square, the sides are equal. Thankfully the area of 1 square is a perfect square so the length of one side of the square is a full number, which is 9. All of the squares are congruent as shown in the diagram so we simply add every length together (there are 12 sides, each side is 9 inches).

12*9 = 108 and that is the perimeter.
