We have a system of 2 linear equations with 2 unknown, so we can solve it:
 2x + y = 5
-3x + 2y = 17
We'll use substitution, so lets solve for y in the first equation and substitute that in the second afterwards:
y = 5 - 2x
-3x + 2(5 - 2x) = 17
-3x + 10 - 4x = 17
-7x = 7
x = -1
then substitute in the original equation to find y:
y = 5 - 2x = 5 - 2(-1)
= 5 + 2
y = 7

Frank is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

$6(6) - 1 = 35$

How do I solve without s calculator?

baherus [9]

You could solve it ( without a graph) in 2 easy ways :

1 use the equation that you have written in pencil and solve for y

y=3=-x+4
y=-x +1

Or you could use the point slop form after you find the y intercept y=mx+b

-3=4(-1)+b
b= 1

So the answer would be y= -x +1

Answer:

$88.50

Step-by-step explanation:

you start by turning the decimal to a fraction by moving the decimal dot 2 places to the left so now you have 0.18

then multiply 0.18 * 75 to get 13.5

then add 15.5 + 75 to get the total meal price which is 88.5

In a homicide case 33 different witnesses picked the same man from a line up. the line up contained 5 men. if the identification

polet [3.4K]

the correct question in the attached figure

we know that

the probability
that a witness picks a particular person by chance-----> P=1/5

the probability
that all 7 witnesses would pick the same person-----> P=1/5^7=0.0000128

the answer is the option B 0.0000128

There are a variety of problems in which the number of witnesses change, for example
....find the probability that all 9 witnesses would pick the same person

in this case, the probability would be-------> P=1/5^9=0.000000512
