Answer:

If you look over the steps you can see that until 4x + x + 3 = 18, evertything is dandy. But the step after that 4x + x =21 seems a bit fishy.

Think about it they subtract 3 from both sides so the first side is correct

4x + x, but they added 3 to the other side:

(4x+x+3) - 3 = 18 - 3\\4x+x = 15

not

4x+x = 21

Then we solve for 4x + x = 15

5x = 15\\x = \frac{15}{5} \\x = 3

To solve for y we use :

y = x+3

y = 3+3 = 6

so (3,6) is the right answer

257/5000 In an envelope there are 20 ballots, 8 have drawn a car the rest are white. Find the probability to extract at least on
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 20 ballots, 8 have drawn a car the rest are white.

Find the probability to extract at least one ballot with the drawing of a car if not replaced:

1. If a ballot is taken out:

8 have drawn a car: thus we have 8/20 = 2/5

2. If two ballots are removed, probability of extracting 1 ballot with drawing of car is 8/20 leaving 7 out of 19 remaining. The 7/19 is the probability of drawing out a second ballot with the drawing of a car. Thus we have

8/20 * 7/19 = 56/380 = 14/95

3. If three ballots are removed, probability of extracting 1 ballot with drawing of car is 8/20 leaving 7 out of 19 remaining. The 7/19 is the probability of drawing out a second ballot with the drawing of a car leaving 6 out of 18 remaining. The 6/18 is the probability of drawing out a third ballot with the drawing of a car.

8/20 * 7/19 * 6/18 = 42/855
