Begin solving like you normally would. Add 2.25 to both sides and subtract 9x from both sides to try getting all x values on one side. However, you will find that after subtracting 9x from both sides, all x values go away, and you end with -2.25=1.6. This is not true (-2.25 is not 1.6), so the answer is no solution. There is no value of x which satisfies that equation.
Step 1: multiple the second equation by 2 so that you get -1/4 for the coefficient of y, the same as in equation 1
equation 2 multiply by 2: 1/4 x - 1/4 y=38 ..........name this equation 3
subtract equation 1 from equation 3: (1/4 x -1/2 x)=38-10
-1/4 x = 28
x=-112
plug in x=-112 in any of the equation, you will get y=-264
so the answer is A
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so this will be a compound probability question because there are two parts to the question.
Firstly, a die has 6 sides, and there is only one chance of getting a 1, so the probability would be 1/6.
Furthermore, there are 3 different even numbers on a 6-sided die, so that is 3/6, which can be simplified to 1/2.
Now, because this is a compound probability, we have to multiply 1/2 and 1/6 together, which would give us our answer of 1/12.
