We can solve this by setting up 2 equations. We can use any letters like. For now, I'll use x and y.
So now we know that    x - y = 0.7   and    x + y = 1.
Now we can eliminate one of the letters by adding or subtracting one equation from the other. I am going to eliminate y by adding the two together (the y and the -y cancel).
This gives us   2x = 1.7,    and so x = 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85
Finally, we can substitute x for 0.85 back into one of the original equations to figure out what y equals. I'm going to use   x + y = 1.
So now we have    0.85 + y = 1,    so y = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

The numbers, therefore, are 0.85 and 0.15 (you can check by using the other equation).

Hope this helps!

Anni [7]
Theoretical Probability: she will pick the red pen 4-5 times in the 14 days (14days/3options=4.667times picked over the duration of the time allotted).

Experimental Probability: she picks the red pen 6/14 times

So the experimental is 1-2 times more than predicted via theoretical probability

If Sarah drives 55 miles per hour, how long will it take her to drive from<br> Amityville to Denton?
Bess [88]

Answer:

29.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Amityville to Denton is 1625 miles.

Since we know that Sarah drives at 55 mph we can divide 1625/55 and get 29.45454... and I assume that they want it rounded so it will be around 29.5 hours

−2/3(15x + 3) = −3x − 9<br> what is x?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

-10x-2=-3x-9

-10x-2+2=-3x-9+2

-10x=-3x-7

-10x+3x=-3x-7+3x

-7x=-7

Then divide both sides by -7

x=1
