A) x + y = 2
B) x * y = -8
B) y = -8 / x we can substitute this into equation A
A) x + -8 /x = 2 multiplying both sides by "x"
A) x² -8 = 2x
x² +2x -8 = 0
(x + 4) * (x -2)
The 2 numbers are -4 and 2

12.what is the probability that a boy and a girl chosen randsomly will be seniors?

zhenek [66]

$\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{20}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability= $\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior= $\frac{\text{number of senior girls}}{\text{total number of girls}}$

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior= $\frac{7}{8+11+9+7}=\frac{7}{35}=\frac{1}{5}$

Probability for a randomly chosen boy to be senior= $\frac{\text{number of senior boys}}{\text{total number of boys}}$

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior= $\frac{9}{10+7+10+9}=\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}$

For two independent events,

Probability for both event 1 and event 2 to take place= $\text{probability of event 1} \times \text{probability of event 2}$

Since choosing boys and girls is independent,

Probability for both boy an girl chosen to be senior= $\text{probability for boy to be senior}\times\text{probability for girl to be senior}$

Probability for both boy and girl chosen to be senior= $\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{20}$

So,required probability is $\frac{1}{20}$

A gardener found that he was able to plant 1/4 of a packet of flower seeds in 1/5 of a garden.At this rate how much of the garde

telo118 [61]

Answer: $\frac{4}{5}$ of garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area covered by $\frac{1}{4}$ of a packet of flower seeds= $\frac{1}{5}$ of a garden.

The area covered in 1 packet= $4\times\frac{1}{5}$

⇒The area covered in 1 packet= $\frac{4}{5}$ of garden.

Thus, the entire packet of seeds would cover $\frac{4}{5}$ of garden.
