Answer:

0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Work Shown:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 0.13 + 0.85 - 0

P(A or B) = 0.98

Note that P(A and B) is 0. This is because we are told A and B are mutually exclusive events. This means both events cannot happen simultaneously. An example would be flipping a coin to have it land on heads and tails at the same time.

Which equation represents the graph below

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: b. -2x+3y=12

Step-by-step explanation: the y intercept is 4, and the line intercepts the x- axis at -6. Therefore, the slope of the line is 4/6=2/3. The format for a linear equation is y=(slope)x+y intercept. So the equation would be y=2/3x+4. You can see that answer b simplifies to that. Add 2x from both sides of the equation and you get 3y=2x+12. Divide both sides of the equation by 3 and you get y=2/3x+4

Answer:

<h3> The first: The easiest to solve for is x in the first equation.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To get x from first equation you just need to subtract 4y from both sides.

The rest of variables needs two operations to get variable - subtracting and then dividing.
