Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.

3x -5 = 6x - 8

3x + (-5+5) = 6x -8 + 5

(3x - 6x) = (6x - 6x) - 3

-3x/-3 = -3/-3

x = 1

Step 2: To solve for y take one of the given equation of your choice (for the purpose of this explanation I will only do y = 3x - 5) and replace x with 1, then solve for y

y = 3(1) - 5

y = 3 - 5

y = -2

(1,-2)

Check:

-2 = 3(1) - 5 ---> - 2 = -2

-2 = 6(1) - 8 ---> -2 = -2

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x=1

and y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-5 y=6x-8

On equating the two equations:

3x-5= 6x-8

Taking terms of x on one side and constant terms on the other

6x-3x= 8-5

3x= 3

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

x=1

Now, putting value of x in y=3x-5, we get

y=3-5

= -2

Hence, Solution is:

x=1 and y= -2

The area of a triangular block is 49 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and t

andrezito [222]

1) Formula: area = height * base / 2

2) Call x the height:

height = x

base = 2x

3) State the equation:

(x)(2x) = 49 in^2

4) Solve the equation:

2x^2 = 49 in^s

x^2 = (49/2) in^2

x = √(49/2) in

x = 7√2 / 2 in = 3.5 √2 in

5) Solution:

height = 3.5 √2 in and base = 7√2 in

6) Verification: area = (7√2 in) (3.5√2 in) = 49 in^2

Answer: height = 3.5√2 in and base = 7√2 in.

A coin, having probability p of landing heads, is continually flipped until at least one head and one tail have been flipped. (a

Natali [406]

Answer:

(a)

The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$p^4 (1-p) + (1-p)^4 p$

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1} = 1/p$

Therefore, suppose that $p = 0.5$ , then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Case 1

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$p^4 (1-p)$

Case 2

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$(1-p)^4p$

Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$p^4 (1-p) + (1-p)^4 p$

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1} = 1/p$

Therefore, suppose that $p = 0.5$ , then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.

Fertilizer for your lawn has to be mixed with water. Every 5 ounces of mix needs 1 gallon of water. How many cups of mix do you

Mkey [24]

Answer:

5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 ounces in a cup, so the ratio given is ...

5/8 cup : 1 gallon

Multiplying this by 8, we have ...

5 cups : 8 gallons

If you are using 8 gallons of water, you need 5 cups of mix.
