Let x = the first number
y = the second number
-------------------------------------
First: set up the equations.
Four times a first number: 4x
Decreased by a second number: - y
Is 4: = 4
4x - y = 4.
The first number increased by: x +
three times the second number: 3y
is -25: = -25
x + 3y = -25.
------------------------
You can make your system of equations now.
4x - y = 4
x + 3y = -25
I would use substitution to solve these.
To do substitution, isolate a variable first, in one of the equations. I would probably isolate x in the second equation.
x + 3y = -25
x = -25 - 3y
Now, you can substitute -25 - 3y into 4x - y = 4, as x.
4x - y = 4
4(-25 - 3y) - y = 4
Now just solve for y.
-100 - 12y - y = 4
-13y = 104
y = -8
Now, you can put -8 as y into one of the original equations, I'll just use 4x - y = 4.
4x - y = 4
4x - (-8) = 4
4x + 8 = 4
4x = -4
x = -1
So the first number is -1, and the second -2.
Answer:
Probability both are hopelessly romantic = 0.0169
Probability at least one is hopelessly romantic = 0.2431
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that about 1313% of the population of a large country is hopelessly romantic.
Also, given two people are randomly selected.
Firstly, Let <em>Probability that the population of a large country is hopelessly romantic = P(R) = 0.13 </em>
(a) Probability both are hopelessly romantic is given by = Probability that first person is hopelessly romantic 
Probability that second person is hopelessly romantic
= 
= 0.13 0.13 = <u>0.0169</u>
(b) Now, Probability that the population of a large country is not hopelessly romantic = P(R') = 1 - P(R) = 1 - 0.13 = 0.87.
So, Probability at least one is hopelessly romantic is given by = 1 - Probability that none of them is hopelessly romantic
= 
= 1 - (0.87 0.87)
= 1 - 0.7569 = <u>0.2431</u>
Answer: A.
Step-by-step explanation: this is the answer because, look for keywords, in the sentence thay used the word WITHDREW which is also known as taking away, EX: withdrew= take away, divide, minus
Hope this helps!
8x51. 8x50=? 8x5=40. 40 x 10 = 400 8x50=400. 8x1=8 400+8=408.
