Answer:

( −2)⋅( 3x +2y )= (−2)(12)(-2)⋅(3x+2y)= (-2)(12)

6x+3y=21

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of x opposite.

Simplify ( -2) ⋅(3x+2y)(-2)⋅(3x+2y)

Apply the distributive property.

−2(3x) − 2 (2y)=(−2) (12)

6x+3y=21

Multiply 3 by -2.

−6x − 2(2y)= (2)(12)

6x+3y=21

Multiply 2 by -2

−6x −4y = (−2)(12)

6x+3y=21

Multiply -2 by 12

−6x−4 y=−24

X 6x+3 y=21

-y = -3

Multiply each term in -y = -3 by -1.

(-y) ⋅ -1 = (-3) ⋅ -1

Multiply -1 by -1

1y = (-3) ⋅ -1

Multiply y by 1

y= (-3) ⋅ - 1

Multiply -3 by -1

y= 3

Substitute the value found for y into one of the original equations, then solve for x.

−6x −4⋅3=−24

Multiply −4 by 3.

−6x−12=−24

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

Add 12 to both sides of the equation.

−6x = −24+12

Add −24 and 12.

−6x=−12

Divide each term by −6 and simplify.

Divide each term in −6x = −12 by −6.

-6x = -12

-6 = -6

Cancel the common factor of −6.

Divide x by 1.

−12

x= -6

Divide −12 by −6.

x=2

The solution to the independent system of equations can be represented as a point.

Answer:

A) 3x + 2y = 12

B) 6x + 3y = 21

We multiply A) by -2

A) -6x -4y = -24 then we add B)

B) 6x + 3y = 21

-y = -3

y = 3

Since y = 3 then

x = 2

Suppose the names of the months of the year are placed in a hat and a name is drawn at random. (a) list the sample space for thi

ollegr [7]

(a)

The sample space is a set whose elements are all the possible outcomes for the experiment. Since we will extract one of the months of the years, the sample space is the set composed by all the 12 months:

$\Omega = \{ \text{January},\ \text{February},\ldots,\text{December}\}$

(b)

An event is a subset of the sample space. Events are often defined by their properties. In this example, the event E is the subset of the sample space defined as

$E = \{ x \in \Omega: x \text{ starts with the letter J}\}$

So, we have

$E = \{\text{January},\ \text{June},\ \text{July}\}$

(c)

If all outcomes have equal probability, then the probability of an event is the ratio bewteen its cardinality, and the cardinality of the whole sample space:

$P(E) = \dfrac{n(E)}{n(\Omega)} = \dfrac{3}{12} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

In words, since there are three months beginning with J out of 12 months, we have a probability of 3 over 12 to pick a month starting with J, which simplifies to 1 over 4.

Factor the expression below.

Leni [432]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

When you factor an expression, you want to take out a factor of the numbers and variables.

Since this expression is a bit hard to factor as itself, we can FOIL the answers to see the correct expressions.

Kindly solve this question 6 too !!

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$~~~~~x = \dfrac{1}{2 - \dfrac 1{2-\dfrac{1}{2-x}}}\\\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{1}{2 - \dfrac 1{\dfrac{4-2x-1}{2-x}}}\\\\\\\implies x= \dfrac{1}{2 - \dfrac{2-x}{3-2x}}\\\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{6-4x-2+x}{3-2x}}\\\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{3-2x}{4-3x}\\\\\\\implies 4x -3x^2 = 3-2x\\\\\\\implies 3x^2 -4x +3-2x = 0\\\\\\\implies 3x^2 -6x +3 = 0\\\\\\\implies 3(x^2 -2x +1) =0\\\\\\\implies x^2 -2x +1 = 0\\\\\\\implies (x-1)^2 = 0\\\\\\\implies x -1 = 0\\\\\\\implies x = 1$
