Answer:

-4 See Below:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a system of equations, you need to solve for one variable, and subsitute that variable into the other equation to solve for the other variables value.

3x +6y = 30 In this case, it would be easier to solve for x.

3x= 30-6y  Divide both sides by 3

x= 10-2y

Now we substitute for x in the other equation.

5x- 4y = 22

5(10-2y)-4y=22

50-10y-4y=22

50-14y=22 Add 14y to both sides

50= 14y + 22 Subtract 22 from both sides

28 = 14y     Divide by 14 on both sides.

y = 2

Substitute y=2 and solve for x.

x = 10- 2y

x= 10-2*2

x= 10-4

x= 6

Now we know y=2 and x=6, so we can substitute them into x-5y to find its value.

x - 5y

= 6-5*2

=6-10

= -4

In the 2012 Paralympic Games, the total number of gold and silver medals won by Brazil was 35 The ratio of the number of gold me
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

the number of silver medals won by Brazil is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of silver medals won by Brazil is shown below:

Given that

Total number of gold and silver medal wons by Brazil was 35

And, the ratio of number of gold medals to the number of silver medals be 3 : 2

Based on the above information

The number of silver medals won would be

= 35 × 2 ÷ (3 + 2)

= 35 × 2 ÷ 5

= 14

hence, the number of silver medals won by Brazil is 14

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. T
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distribution is associated with the following characteristics or properties;

1. The outcomes are mutually exclusive.

2. The list of outcomes is exhaustive, which simply means that the sum of all probabilities of the outcomes must equal one (1).

3. The probability for a particular value or outcome must be between 0 and 1.

Since a probability distribution gives the likelihood of an outcome or event, a single random variable is divided into two main categories, namely;

I. Probability density functions for continuous variables.

II. Discrete probability distributions for discrete variables.

For example, when a coin is tossed, you can only have a head or tail (H or T).

Also, when you throw a die, the only possible outcome is 1/6 and the total probability for it all must equal to one (1).
