Answer: The probability is 1/190 = 0.005
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of ordering two specific toppings out of 20 is:
For the first selection he can order 2 of them, peperoni or sausage, so the probability for the first selection is 2/20 = 1/10 (the number of correct options divided by the total number of options)
For the second selection we have only one option, because we assume that the other one was selected previously, here we also had a total of 19 toppings because one already was selected, the probability in this selection is 1/19.
The joint probability is equal to the product of those two probabilities:
P = (1/19)*(1/10) = 1/190 = 0.005

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by solving for 
which is a common expression for both equations. Then in the first equation:
and in the second equation:
Now we make the two expressions equal so we get:
Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
