Answer:x=-3 y=26

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+y=17.............(1)

x+2y=49..............(11)

From (11) x=49-2y

Substitute x=49-2y in 3x+y=17

3(49-2y) + y=17

Open bracket

147-6y+y=17

147-5y=17

Collect like terms

5y=147-17

5y=130

Divide both sides by 5

5y/5=130/5

y=26

Substitute y=26 in x+2y=49

x+2(26)=49

x+52=49

Collect like terms

x=49-52

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y have to be at least 12, so that's why the greater than sign was used

the amount of money had to be at most $230, so that's why the less than sign was used

they said x and y represent black and white respectively, so that means x is black and y is white, so it is 18x and 20y

A company claims its video game players have a defective rate of 4%. What is the probability that you and a friend both receive
alex41 [277]
Since you're looking for the chance that the defective player occurs twice, you need to find the chance your friend receives a defective player given that you also receive one. The chance you receive a defective player is 4%, or 0.04. If you friend also receives a defective player, then the chance of both occurring is 4% of 4%, or 0.04 * 0.04, which equals 0.0016. So the probability that you can a friend both receive a defective player is 0.16%.

A student is running a 3-kilometer race. He runs 1 kilometer every 2 minutes. Select the function that describes his distance fr
Thepotemich [5.8K]
I would choose the formula D (distance to the finish line)=3-2x/2 where x is the distance run so for example for x = 1 km then 2 times 1 = 2/2=1 so D=3-1=2km which is seen to be the logical answer so it seems to corroborate the equation.
