Let's have two numbers x (larger) and y (smaller). from the info above...

x + y = 3
5x + 4y = 29

so that means y=3 - x. we can sub this in
5x + 4(3-x) = 29
5x + 12 - 4x = 29
x = 17
then y=3-x=3-17=-14

so it's 17 and -14

C)132choices

D)0.000278

E)0.000166

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 7poultry items represented by 7p

10 red meat items=10R

12 vegetarian items=12V

@

A)there are 7combination 3ways of selecting 3out of 7 poultry items

From the formula nCr=n!/(n-r)!r!

7C3=7!/(7-3)!3!=7!/4!×3!=35choices

b)total items available=7p+10R+12V(denotation explained above)=29items

Choosing 6items implies

29C6=29!/(29-6)!×6!

29!/23!×6!=475,020 ways

C)7C2+10C2+12C2

7!/5!2!+10!/8!2!+12!/10!2!

21+45+66=132 choices

D) probability (choosing 2items from each class)=

7C2+10C2+12C2/29C6

Where 29C6 represent total probable.

21+45+66/29!/23!6!

=132/475020=0.000278choices

E)for meats to be in the majority on a 6choices selection impliee that vegetarian items will be

0,1 or2i.e combination of vegetarian and meat will be(0,6)or(1,5)or(2,4) .

Prob(0veg)+prob(1veg item) or prob(2veg items)

12C0+12C1+12C2/29C6

=1+12+66/475,020

=0.000166

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the quantity of butter

and

m be the quantity of milk

<u>So according to given statement the whole mixture measures 70.4 mL while butter measures 30.6mL</u>

so,

B+m = 70.4

30.6 + m = 70.4

m = 70.4 - 30.6

m = 39.8 mL

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe ..

If (x + y)^2 = 105 and x^2 + y^2 = 65, what is the value of xy?
lesya692 [45]
\boxed { \boxed {(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2}}

(x + y) ^2 = 105

x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = 105

x^2 + y^2  + 2xy = 105


\text{Given that } x^2 + y^2 = 65,

65 + 2xy = 105

2xy = 105 - 65

2xy = 40

xy = 20

\boxed { \boxed {\text{Answer: xy = 20}}}
