a is given to us so just plug a into the first equation:
b-3 - 3b =9
Add 3 to both sides:
b-3b=12
Combine like terms:
-2b=12
Divide by -2 to get b by itself:
b=-6
The only answer with b as -6 is the first one, (-9,-6)
1,2,3,4,6 are factors of 12
5/6 is the probability of getting a factor of 12
1/2 is the probability of getting a tail
5/6*1/2 = 5 /12
Answer: 5/12
Answer: 620≥ 427.57+ 11.38(4)+ (31.41) +57.75x
Step-by-step explanation:
So our limit is the 620$ that he has to spend. We know for a fact that the bike costs about 427.57 dollars. 4 $11.38 reflectors are purchased as well as gloves for 31.41. Now however many outfits he can purchase cannot exceed or go over his money limit of 620 so the variable (x) represents how many outfits he can buy without going over.
