Let

a-------> one of the numbers

b------> the other number

we know that

$a+b=x$ ----> equation A

$a=12$

substitute the value of a in the equation A

$12+b=x$

solve for b

Subtract $12$ from both sides

$12+b-12=x-12$

$b=x-12$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The other number is $x-12$

One of the number is 12.
The other number is y.
The sum of the numbers is x.

$12+y=x \\
y=x-12$

The other number is x-12.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: emma's amount be X . justin has $7.50+x because he has $7.50 more than emma.Since emma has 7.50+x-$12.to get everyones amount add what they have together which is=$7.50+x+$7.50+x-12 which in total is $63.00.after the calculations you get x=30.now distribute the x equally. so justin has $7.50+30=37.50.we also distribute it with emma's which is 7.50+30-12=25.5.

justin=$37.50

Emma=$25.50

to be sure add 37.50+25.50=$63

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are called independent, when

$P(B|A)=P(B),$

where $P(B|A)$ is the probability that B occurs given that A has already occurred.

A = randomly selected person is a student

B = randomly selected person prefer "Vikings"

B|A = randomly selected student prefer "Vikings"

Probabilities:

$P(A)=\dfrac{100}{125}=\dfrac{4}{5}=0.8\\ \\P(B|A)=\dfrac{80}{85}=\dfrac{16}{17}\approx 0.94$

Since

$0.80\neq 0.94$

we can state that events are not independent.
