Answer:

x = -9/7, y = 50/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 13 ---------(eqn 1)

3x - y = -11 -----------(eqn 2)

Let's solve simultaneously using elimination method by multiplying eqn 2 by 2 so as to eliminate y.

3x - y = - 11 -------( × 2)

It gives

6x - 2y = - 22 ---------- ( new eqn 2)

x + 2y = 13 -----------( eqn 1)

Now add eqn 1 and new eqn 2

6x + x -2y + 2y = -22 + 13

7x = -9

Divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = -9/7

x = -9/7

Put x = -9/7 into eqn 1

x + 2y = 13

-9/7 + 2y = 13

Add 9/7 to both sides

-9/7+9/7 + 2y = 13+9/7

2y = 100/7

Divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 100/7 ÷ 2

y = 100/7 × 1/2

y = (100÷2)/7

y = 50/7

Therefore

x = -9/7, y = 50/7

(-9/7, 50/7)

Therefore (-1,7) is not the solution for both equations , it is not a solution for NEITHER equation.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Angles can be formed from two ray lines that have the same starting point

Commonly used terms include foot angle, corner point, and angle size

The magnitude of the angle is usually expressed in degrees

Naming angles can be with one letter according to the vertex or with three letters with the vertex placed between two other letters

There are several steps used to copy the MNP angle:

1. Draw the DE line

2.Places the compass point on point N and draws an arc that intersects NM (point Q) and NP (Point R)

3.Without changing the compass opening, put the compass point on point D and draw a long arc that intersects DE (point F)

4. Open the compass so that the compass point is on point Q and the pencil point is on point R. Then put the compass point on point F and draw an arc (intersect with the arc in step 3, and at this point we name it G)

5. Draw a line from point D to point G

Then the MNP is congruent to the EDG

An elementary school is offering 3 language classes: one in Spanish, one in French,and one in German. The classes are open to an

Alona [7]

Answer:

A. 0.5

B. 0.32

C. 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

There are

28 students in the Spanish class,
26 in the French class,
16 in the German class,
12 students that are in both Spanish and French,
4 that are in both Spanish and German,
6 that are in both French and German,
2 students taking all 3 classes.

So,

2 students taking all 3 classes,
6 - 2 = 4 students are in French and German, bu are not in Spanish,
4 - 2 = 2 students are in Spanish and German, but are not in French,
12 - 2 = 10 students are in Spanish and French but are not in German,
16 - 2 - 4 - 2 = 8 students are only in German,
26 - 2 - 4 - 10 = 10 students are only in French,
28 - 2 - 2 - 10 = 14 students are only in Spanish.

In total, there are

2 + 4 + 2 + 10 + 8 + 10 +14 = 50 students.

The classes are open to any of the 100 students in the school, so

100 - 50 = 50 students are not in any of the languages classes.

A. If a student is chosen randomly, the probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes is

$\dfrac{50}{100} =0.5$

B. If a student is chosen randomly, the probability that he or she is taking exactly one language class is

$\dfrac{8+10+14}{100}=0.32$

C. If 2 students are chosen randomly, the probability that both are not taking any language classes is

$0.5\cdot 0.5=0.25$

So, the probability that at least 1 is taking a language class is

$1-0.25=0.75$
