How do i solve this equation 5x-3y=12 for y

1 answer:

6 0

We have such equation
5x-3y=12 /-5x (subtract 5x both sides)
5x-5x-3y=12-5x
-3y=-5x+12 /:3 divide both sides by 3
-y= $\frac{-5x+12}{3}$ /*(-1) multiply both sides by -1
y=- $\frac{-5x+12}{3}$
y= $\frac{5x-12}{3}$ - its the answer

A box is filled with 2 brown cards,8 yellow cards, and 8 green cards. A card is chosen at random from the box. What is the proba

2 brown, 8 yellow, 8 green, thus our sample space is 2+8+8 = 18.

What is the probability that the card is NOT yellow? How many non-yellow are there? well 2 + 8 = 10, favorable outcomes.

$\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{favorable outcomes}}{10}}{\underset{\textit{sample space}}{18}}\implies \cfrac{5}{9}\implies 0.\overline{555}\qquad \approx \qquad 55.6\%$
