7 0

Answer:

Option B) The variable Y will cancel out first.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

5x-y=-21 ----> equation A

x+y=-3 ----> equation B

Solve by elimination

Adds equation A and equation B

5x-y=-21

x+y=-3

--------------

5x+x=-21-3 ----->variable y will be eliminated first

6x=-24

x=-4

The solutions of the equations for x are given as follows:

a. x = 36.

b. x = 15.

<h3>What is the solution for item a?</h3>

The equation for item a is given by:

x/3 - 5 = 7

Isolating x, we have that:

x/3 = 12

x = 3 x 12

x = 36.

<h3>What is the solution for item b?</h3>

The equation for item b is given by:

x/2 - 5 = 2.5

Isolating x, we have that:

x/2 = 7.5

x = 7.5 x 2

x = 15.

Hence the solutions are:

a. x = 36.

b. x = 15.

Question 4
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for chart

Required

Number of off days

To do this, we simply calculate the expected value of the chart.

This is calculated as:

E(x) = \sum x * f

Where

x = days

f = chances

So, we have:

E(x) = 0* 0.3 + 1 *0.2 + 2 * 0.25 + 3  * 0.2 + 4  * 0.02 + 5 * 0.01 + 6 * 0.01 + 7 * 0.01

E(x) = 1.56

E(x) \approx 2

Two cars leave from a town at the same time traveling in opposite directions. One travels 5 mph faster than the other. In 3 hour
Doss [256]

Let the slower cars speed equal X.

The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).


They traveled for 3 hours

Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.

So you have:

3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles

Simplify the left side:

3X + 3X+15 = 267

Combine like terms:

6x + 15 = 267

Subtract 15 from each side"

6x = 252

Divide each side by 6:

x = 252 / 6

X = 42


The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.

A gumball machine has just been filled with 50 black, 150 white, 100 red and 100 yellow gum balls that have been thoroughly mixe
Andrew [12]
<span>Exactly 33/532, or about 6.2% This is a conditional probability, So what we're looking for is the probability of 2 gumballs being selected both being red. So let's pick the first gumball. There is a total of 50+150+100+100 = 400 gumballs in the machine. Of them, 100 of the gumballs are red. So there's a 100/400 = 1/4 probability of the 1st gumball selected being red. Now there's only 399 gumballs in the machine and the probability of selecting another red one is 99/399 = 33/133. So the combined probability of both of the 1st 2 gumballs being red is 1/4 * 33/133 = 33/532, or about 0.062030075 = 6.2%</span>

Answer:

cm

Step-by-step explanation:

if using centimeters to determine the perimeter then it's just cm.

If you're using centimeters to determine area it would be cm^2.

If you're using centimeters to determine volume it would be cm^3.

I hope this helps you. Have a blessed day.
