Dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes is the definition of the probability of the given event.

P(E)=n(E)/n(S)

example. let the Experiment be throwing a dice. The sample space, all the possible outcomes, is the set S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }  and n(S)=6

Let the even E be: getting an even number. The successful outcomes set is  E {2, 4, 6 } and n(E)=3

So probability of getting an even number is P(E)=n(E)/n(S)=3/6=0.5


Answer: Probability of the given Event

Answer: The area of the enclosure is 1,029 square meters

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing is to use the unit of measurement required by the question, and to do this we need to convert what we have to what is required.

If the scale of the diagram is given as every 4cm represents 7m, that means, every unit of the actual measurement would be given as

(X/4) x 7

For the length of the enclosure, we can determine that as follows;

Length = (28/4) x 7

Length = 7 x 7

Length = 49m

And for the width,

Width = (12/4) x 7

Width = 3 x 7

Width = 21m

Therefore, the area is calculated as,

Area = L x W

Area = 49 x 21

Area = 1029 m²

Solve by elimination <br> 7x+7y=-7<br> -10x-7y=28
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = - 7, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 7y = - 7 -----> equation 1

- 10x - 7y = 28 -----> equation 2

Add equations 1 & 2,

7x + 7y = - 7

- 10x - 7y = 28

___________

- 3x + 0 = 21

- 3x = 21

x = 21 / - 3

x = - 7

Substitute x = - 7 in equation 1,

7x + 7y = - 7

7y + 7x = - 7

7y + 7 ( - 7 ) = - 7

7y - 49 = - 7

7y = - 7 + 49

7y = 42

y = 42 / 7

y = 6

If 2a+4b=5 and a is equal to three times b, what is 3a?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

3a=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

it says that "a is equal to 3 times b", which translates to a=3b

We can substitute a as 3b in 2a+4b=5

2(3b)+4b=5

multiply

6b+4b=5

add

10b=5

divide by 10

b=1/2

since it's given that a=3b, we can multiply 1/2 by 3

a=3/2

3a is 3 times a, so we can mutiply 3(3/2)=9/2=4.5

Hope this helps!
