To solve this question, we can start to set up an equation using what the question is telling us. Since we don't know what the number is, let's make it equal to x.

The phrase "5 times a number" means that we're multiplying our unknown, x, by 5. That is equal to 5x. 9 less than that would be 5x - 9. Since we know that it's equal to -30, we can solve.

5x - 9 = -30

Get all terms with x on one side and the constants on the other

5x - 9 +9 = -30 + 9

Simplify

5x = -21

Now, we can divide both sides by 5 to get our answer of x = -\frac{21}{5}

An equation can be formed with the given information.

"Nine less than" → -9

"Five times a number" → 5x

"Is equal to -30" → =-30

So our given equation is: 5x-9=-30

To solve this, first add 9 on both sides of the equation.

5x-9+9=-30+9

5x=-21

Divide both sides by 5 for x.

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-21}{5}

<u>x=\frac{-21}{5} , or -4.2.</u>

What is the solution to the system of equation <br><br> -2x+6y=-38<br> 3x-4y=32
Alla [95]

Answer:

x= 4

y= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+6y=-38    equation 1

3x-4y=32     equation 2

using equation 1 we have:

-2x+6y=-38  

6y +38 = 2x

3y + 19 = x   equation 3

using equation 3 in equation 2 we have:

3(3y + 19) - 4y = 32

9y + 57 -4y =32

5y = 32 -57

5y = -25

y= -25/5

y = -5

so we have:

3y + 19 = x  

3(-5) +19 = x

x= 4

A box contains four $1 and six $5 bills. if three bills are selected at random without replacement, find the probability that al
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

C.1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially the box has four $1 and six $5 bills. The probability of selecting a $5 bill in the first trial would be given as;

(number of $5 bills) / (total number of bills)

= (6)/(4+6) = 3/5

If in the first attempt we actually pick a $5 bill, the number of $5 bills will reduce by one to 5. Now, the probability of picking a $5 bill in the second attempt will be given as;

(new number of $5 bills) / (new total number of bills)

= (5)/(4+5) = 5/9

The new number of $5 bills will now be; 6 - 2 = 4 since we have already picked 2 without replacing them.

Now, the probability of picking a $5 bill in the third attempt will be given as;

(new number of $5 bills) / (new total number of bills)

= (4)/(4+4) = 1/2

Since the three attempts are independent, the probability of picking  all three $5 bills is;

3/5 * 5/9 * 1/2 = 1/6
