Let W = number of white cars, and Y = number of yellow cars.
There were 9 times as many white cars as yellow cars. This means that the number of white cars was 9 times more than the number of yellow cars. This can be translated by the expression:
9Y = W
The person counted 40 cars in total:
W + Y = 40
So we get the system:
In the first equation, we multiply by 9:
9W + 9Y = 360
In the second equation:
9Y= W
W-9Y = 0
Then we add the first with the second equation:
9W + 9Y + W - 9Y = 360
10 W = 360
W = 36
So He counted 36 white cars.
Hope this Helps! :)
First you need to get x on one side of the equation and to do that subtract 2a from both sides.
28 + 2a = 5a + 7
-2a -2a
28=3a+7
Then we need to get a alone by subtracting 7 on both sides.
28=3a+7
-7 -7
21=3a
Finally divide each side by 3 and you should get a = 7. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 3
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - y = 26 ---------------(I)
9x + y = 28 ---------------(II)
9x - y = 26
9x = 26 + y
Substitute 9x = 26 + y in equation (II)
26 + y + y = 28 {add like terms}
26 + 2y = 28 {subtract 26 from both sides}
2y = 28 - 26
2y = 2 {divide both sides by 2}
y = 2/2
y = 1
Substitute y =1 in equation (I)
9x - 1 = 26
9x = 26 + 1
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
x = 3
y = 1
The probability that a U.S. household selected at random has a computer and has Internet access will be 0.72. The C and I are independent events. Then the correct option is B.
<h3>What is probability?</h3>
Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.
Approximately 80% of households in the United States have computers. Of those 80%, 90% have Internet access.
Then the probability that a U.S. household selected at random has a computer and has Internet access will be
P(C and I) = 0.80 × 0.90
P(C and I) = 0.72
Then the C and I are independent events.
Then the correct option is B.

The ordered pair (- 3, 1 ) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true
To test , substitute the coordinates of (- 3, 1) into the equations and if both sides are true then it is a solution to the equation.
x - 4y = - 3 - 4 = - 7 ≠ 6 ← not true
(3 × - 3) + 1 = - 9 + 1 = - 8 ← true
Thus (- 3, 1 ) is a solution to the second equation
