Do you have answer options for this question?
Answer:
the larger number is 69
the smaller number is 16
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the smaller number
y is the larger number
x + y = 85
y - 4x = 5
y = 5 + 4x
x + 5 + 4x = 85
5x = 80
x = 16
y = 69
When you roll two numbers you have four kinds of outcomes: EE, EO, OE, OO (where E = even, O = odd).
You get an even sum only if you sum two numbers that are both even or both odd, therefore the outcomes wanted are two: EE and OO.
Therefore:
P(sum is even) = 2 / 4 = 0.5
Hence, there is a 50% probability that, when you roll two numbers, their sum will be even.
130x5=650
650-104=546
546-137=409
409-154=255
255-131=124
x=124
