Answer:

(6, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 5y = - 3 → (1)

2x + 2y = 6 → (2)

Subtracting (1) from (2) term by term will eliminate the x- term

(2x - 2x) + (2y - 5y) = 6 - (- 3), that is

- 3y = 9 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

y = - 3

Substitute y = - 3 in either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting y = - 3 in (1)

2x + 5(- 3) = - 3

2x - 15 = - 3 ( add 15 to both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

Solution is (6, - 3 )

Answer: x = 6 and y = -3

Step-by-step explanation: What we have in this question is a pair of simultaneous equations,

2x + 5y = -3 ———(1)

2x + 2y = 6 ———(2)

We shall use the elimination method to solve this since none of the variables has a coefficient of 1. We multiply equation (1) by 2 and multiply equation (2) by 5 {to eliminate the y variable). So we now have,

2x + 5y = -3 ——— x2

2x + 2y = 6 ——— x5

4x + 10y = -6 ———(3)

10x + 10y = 30 ——(4)

Subtract equation (3) from equation (4)

10x - 4x +(10y - 10y) = 30 - (-6)

6x = 30 + 6

6x = 36

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

x = 6

Having calculated that x = 6, substitute for the value of x into equation (1)

2x + 5y = -3

2(6) + 5y = -3

12 + 5y = -3

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation

5y = -3 - 12

5y = -15

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

y = -3

Therefore x equals 6 and y equals -3

Carlos has a fair die and a number cube. He will flip the fair die one time and roll the number cube one time. What is the proba
saul85 [17]

Answer: 0.42 and 5 outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

i guess that carlos has a fair coin and a number cube.

the probability can be calculated as the number of outcomes that we want divided the total number of outcomes.

The coin has two possible outcomes, heads and tails, then the probability of getting heads is p1 =1/2

the number cube has 6 numbers, 5 of those 6 numbers are greater than 1, then the probability of getting a number greater than 1 is p2 =5/6

the joint probability is the product of those two:

P = 1/2*5/6 = 5/12 = 0.42

The combinations that include heads and number greater than 1 are 5 combinations:

Heads and 2

Heads and 3

Heads and 4

Heads and 5

Heads and 6.
