Answer:

y is equal to -1

x is equal to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you would do is multiply the bottom equation by a negative 3. You will get - 6x - 9y = -15. Keep the top equation the same. Both of the 6x's cancel. You then get -11y = 11 so y is equal to negative 1.

Since you have Y, you can now plug that in to any equation to find the value of x. -6x - 2(-1) = 26. You're left with 4. Plug both of the values into each equation to double check.

The spinner below shows 5 equally sized slices. Tammy spun the dial 25 times and got the following results. Fill in the table be

Helen [10]

Answer:

a) 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%

b) 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%

c) The first option - the theoretical and experimental values should become closer the more trials that are performed.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 4 of Tammy's 25 spins landed on black, so the experimental probability is 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%.

b) The spinner is split into 5 equal sections. Assuming it is fair, the chance of landing in any given section for a single spin is 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%.

c) The theoretical and experimental values should get closers the more trials you do.

For example, consider 1 coin flip vs 100. The theoretical probability of landing on a given side of a coin is 1/2, or 0.5, or 50%. With a single flip, your experimental probability will either be 0% or 100%, both off of the theoretical probability by 50%. After 100 flips however, the experimental and theoretical probabilities will be much closer to each other.

Bill's recipe for onion soup call for 4.0lb of thinly sliced onions. If an onion has an average mass of 115g, how many onions do

musickatia [10]

Answer:

1. $16\ onions$

2. $4,040.91\ kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the average mass of an onion is 115 grams and Bill needs 4.0 pounds.

Then, since $1\ lb=453.592\ g$ , we can make the following conversion:

$(4.0\ lb)(\frac{453.592\ g}{1\ lb})=1,814.37\ g$

Then, the number of onions Bill needs is:

$(1,814.37\ g)(\frac{1\ onion}{115\ g})=15.77\ onions$ ≈ $16\ onions$

2. Since $1\ kg=2.20462\ lb$ , we can make the following conversion:

$(11\ lb)(\frac{1\ kg}{2.20462\ lb})=4.98\ kg$

Knowing that all the potatoes sold today at the store bring in $1,420 and 4.98 kilograms of potatoes is $1.75, we can calculate the amount of kilograms the grocery shoppers bought:

$(\$1,420)(\frac{4.98\ kg}{\$1.75})=4,040.91\ kg$
