Answer: x=31 and y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=50

X-y=12

2x + 0y = 62

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

Now find y by plugging in 31 for x

31+y = 50

Subtract 31

y = 50-31

y = 19

Answer:

The two numbers are 31 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

Add the two equations together

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

-----------------

2x +0y = 62

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

Now find y

31+y = 50

Subtract 31

y = 50-31

y = 19

An editor has a stack of k documents to review. The order in which the documents are reviewed is random with each ordering being
ladessa [460]

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a \mathbf{\frac{1}{k}} probability that “Relaxation Through Mathematics” is first to review.

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem:

  • There is a total of k documents to be reviewed, hence T = k.
  • Of those documents, 1 is named “Relaxation Through Mathematics”, hence D = 1

The <em>probability </em>is:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{k}
