Xy = 50
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
xy = 50
(5 - y)y = 50
5y - y^2 = 50
y^2 - 5y + 50 = 0
(y - 5)(y - 10) = 0
y - 5 = 0 or y - 10 = 0
y = 5 or y = 10
x + y = 15
For y = 5:
x + 5 = 15
x = 10
For y = 10
x + 10 = 15
x = 5
Answer: the numbers are 5 and 10.
The answer is true plz thnk me
Answer:
The format of this equation is wrong
Answer:
<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.2
Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.15
2. Assume the companies function independently What is the probability that both companies become profitable?
We will answer this question, assuming these are independent events, this way:
Probability that both companies become profitable = Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable * Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable
Replacing with the values given, we have:
Probability that both companies become profitable = 0.2 * 0.15 = 0.03
<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>
