The product of two positive numbers is 120. One number is 7 more than the other. Determine the two numbers

1 answer:

8 0

Xy= 120
x= 7+y

(7+y)(y) = 120
y^2 + 7y - 120 = 0
(y + 15) (y - 8) = 0

Since we are finding two positive numbers,
If y= 8 then x= 15

The two numbers are 8 and 15

-0.0526

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable denoting the net gain(in dollars) for a single trial(one bet).

Assuming that each number in the wheel is equally likely, probability of the outcome being a victory is $\frac{1}{38}$ and probability of failure is $\frac{37}{38}$ . For a win, X takes value 35 and for a loss X takes value -1. So the model is,
