Answer:
Y= -4. X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simultaneous equation
3x+5y= -5 ------------(1)
4x+5y= -8 ------------(2)
Using elimination method
Eliminate x
×4. 3x+5y= -5
×3. 4x+7y= -8
12x+20y= -20
-(12x+21y= -24) Minus
-y=4 therefore y= -4
Substitute x into equation 1
3x+5(-4)= -5
3x-20= -5
3x= -5+20
3x= 15
x=5
Answer:
The probability is 2/7 or 28.57%
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.
The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes
The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.
so
Let
x------> size of the event space
y-----> size of the sample space
so
In this problem we have
---> number of peanuts
---> total number of items
substitute
Simplify
Convert to percentage
