X : the gas used by first car in 1 particular week
y : the gas used by second car in 1 particular week
$x + y = 60 \\ x = 60 - y$
$30x + 35y = 1975 \\ 30 \times (60 - y) + 35y = 1975 \\ ... \\ y = 35 \\ x = 60 - y = 60 - 35 = 25$

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Angle R is 99 degree

Angle Y=48 degrees

Angle T is 33 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angle T be x

Angle R will be 3x

Angle Y will be x+15

Total=x+3x+x+15=5x+15

5x+15=180

5x=165

x=165/5=33

Therefore, angle T is 33 degrees, angle Y=15+33=48 degrees and angle R=33*3=99 degrees

vodomira [7]

Answer:

A: Since disjoint, P(up AND up AND up) = P(up) P(up) P(up) = .653= .27

A: Disjoint, so previous years have no effect on this year. 1-.65 = .35

A: Same direction; two different probabilities. P(up AND up) = .652 = .42. P(down AND down) = .352= .12. .42 + .12 = .55
