X=y+2
x=3y
2x=4y+2
4y+2=2(y+2)
4y+2=2y+4
2y+2=4
2y=2
y=1
x=3
1+3=4

Their sum is 4

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So there is a 3% probability that an athlete is using EPO .

The probability of showing positive on a test when you've used it is 0.99.

3% x 0.99= 2.97%

The probability of a positive result without EPO is 0.1

97% x 0,1 = 9,7 %

My guess is that 2.97% + 9,7% = 12.67% or 0.1267.

I don't know i may be wrong because you've put as an answer 0.0297 but if you like you may take only the first part of the answer.

The product of two consecutive odd integers is 1 less than four times their some. find the two integers.

nignag [31]

2 consecutive odd integers.....x and x + 2.....the product means multiply....the sum means add.

x(x + 2) = 4(x + x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 4(2x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 8 - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 7
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0

x - 7 = 0 x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x = 7

x + 1 = 0 x + 2 = -1 + 2 = 1
x = -1

there can be 2 answers for this....
(1) 7 and 9
(2) -1 and 1

Pls follow the steps and show work

WINSTONCH [101]

1st box: 2a (subtract 2a from both sides)
2nd box: 3 (add 3 to both sides)
3rd box: 10 (add 7+3)
4th and 5th box: 2 (divide both by 2)
6th box: 5 (10/2=5)
