4 0

Answer:

C. (2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the answer choices, you can see that solving for y will tell you which choice is correct. We can eliminate x from the equations by adding 4 times the second equation to the first:

(8x -3y) +4(-2x +3y) = (1) +4(11) . . . . . adding the equations to eliminate x

9y = 45 . . . simplified; next we divide by 9

y = 5 . . . . . matches choice C

_____

Check

8(2) -3(5) = 16 -15 = 1

-2(2) +3(5) = -4 +15 = 11 . . . . the answer checks OK in both equations

If you flip a coin and roll a 6-sided die, what is the probability that you will flip a tails and roll at least a 2?

Finger [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping a tails and rolling at least a tail are 2 independent events: they don't affect each other. So, to get the probability of both happening, we just need to multiply the probability of one by the probability of the other. he probability of rolling at least a 2 is 5/6.

Laura drove 638 miles in 11 hours at the same rate how long would it take her to drive 406 miles

shusha [124]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a d = rt problem; but since it is linear, then proportions will work too. Set up the proportion with miles on top and hours on the bottom:

$\frac{miles}{hrs}:$

Then put the numbers in where they go, keeping in mind that miles goes with miles and hours goes with hours in the ratios, and that our unknown is time (hours):

$\frac{miles}{hrs}:\frac{638}{11}=\frac{406}{x}$ and cross multiply to solve:

638x = 4466 so

x = 7 hrs
