Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
You can write this another way:
2a + 3(a-5) = 5 ( I added the second formula in the first one )
Now you gotta factor out:
2a + 3a - 15 = 5
Here im gonna do plus 15
2a + 3a = 20 ==> 5a = 20
Now if you divide by 5, you get: a = 4
Now you can fill in the second formula again
b = a - 5 (ill fill this in now)
b = 4 - 5 = -1
So, this makes:
a = 4 , b = -1
Answer:
21 / 143
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of Eastern conference reps = 8
Number of western conference rep = 7
Probability of selecting 3 from Eastern reps and 2 from western reps
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Total possible outcomes:
selection to be made = 3+ 2 = 5
Total Number of players = 8 +7 = 15
Total possible outcomes
Using combination formula :
nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!
15C5 = 15! / 10!5! = (15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11) / (5*4'3*2*1) = 360360 / 120 = 3003
Total possible outcomes = 3003
Required outcome :
8C3 * 7C2
8C3 = 56 ; 7C2 = 21
8C3 * 7C2 = 56 * 21 = 1176
required outcome / Total possible outcomes
= 1176 / 3003
= 21 / 143
