Answer:

5/2 OR 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

( x + 2y ) = 7 , ( x - 2y ) = 5

x = 7 - 2y , x = 5 + 2y

substitute the two eqns together:

7 - 2y = 5 + 2y

7 - 5 = 2y + 2y

2 = 4y

y = 1/2

when y = 1/2 ,

5y = 5(1/2)

= 5/2 OR 2.5

Two people meet for the first time. What is the probability that they both have the same birthday?

Alenkinab [10]

<span>The first person can have any birthday. That gives him 365 possible birthdays out of 365 days, so the probability of the first person having the "right" birthday is 365/365, or 100%.The chance that the second person has the same birthday is 1/365. To find the probability that both people have this birthday, we have to multiply their separate probabilities. (365/365) * (1/365) = 1/365, or about 0.27%.</span>
