Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1

2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12

Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12

3. 3x - 5y = -15

4. -9x + 4y = 144

and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,

Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,

3(-20) - 5y = -15

-5y = 60 - 15

y = 45/-5

= -9

y = -9

Firlakuza [10]
Given:
2 rectangular prism.
same height
square bases


                                    Box A     Box B
Square Base side          2 ft        0.75 ft
Height                            4 ft        4 ft

Solving for the space inside each rectangular prism, we need to find its volume.

Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height

Box A: 
Volume = 2 ft * 2 ft * 4 ft = 16 cubic feet

Box B:
Volume = 0.75 ft * 0.75 ft * 4 ft = 2.25 cubic feet

Box A - Box B = difference in space

16 cubic feet - 2.25 cubic feet = 13.75 cubic feet

Box A contains 13.75 cubic feet more space than Box B.

2. Find the theoretical probability of not rolling a 4.
mezya [45]

Answer:If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling a 4: Rolling a 4 is an event with 1 favorable outcome (a roll of 4) and the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (a roll of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Thus, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6.

If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling at least a 4: Rolling at least 4 is an event with 3 favorable outcomes (a roll of 4, 5, or 6) and the total number of possible outcomes is again 6. Thus, the probability of rolling at least a 4 is 3/6 = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:For example, when a die is rolled, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In mathematical language, an event is a set of outcomes, which describe what outcomes correspond to the "event" happening. For instance, "rolling an even number" is an event that corresponds to the set of outcomes {2, 4, 6}. The probability of an event, like rolling an even number, is the number of outcomes that constitute the event divided by the total number of possible outcomes. We call the outcomes in an event its "favorable outcomes".
