Answer: Add the two equations together to eliminate y

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=3

4x-y=7

I would use elimination since one equation has +y and one equation has -y

Add the two equations together

X+y=3

4x-y=7

Artist 52 [7]

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

There are four students: n = 4

Number of students to be selected: r = 2

To calculate the combination of 2 students to be chosen, we use:

\begin{gathered} ^4C_2=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}=\frac{4!}{(4-2)!}=\frac{4!}{2!} \\ ^4C_2=\frac{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{2\cdot1}=\frac{4\cdot3}{1}=12 \\ ^4C_2=12 \end{gathered}

Therefore, there 12 possible combinations from these

A weighted coin has a 0.599 probability of landing on heads. What is the probability that it takes 5 flips for the first head to
natka813 [3]

Answer:

0.411^5 times 0.599

Step-by-step explanation:

0.599 chance of landing on heads.

0.411 chance of not landing on heads.

0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 (for the 5 flips that do not land on heads) times 0.599 (for the time that it does land on heads).

Change mixed numbers to improper fractions. Then change division to multiplication by the reciprocal.
1 1/2 divided by 3/5=
(3/2) * (5/3) = 5/2 = 2 1/2
#3
(5/9) divided by (5/3)
(5/9) * (3/5) =3/9 = 1/3

X=-4+y and -2x-5y=15
Scrat [10]

Answer:

x=-5, y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x=-4+y into -2x-5y=15. So we have

-2(-4+y)-5y=15

8-2y-5y=15

-7y=7

y=-1

And x is -4+y so x= -4+(-1)= -5.

-3x-2y=-1<br> 4x+6y=12<br><br> what’s all the steps and answer to this equation
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

x = -9/5

y = 16/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-2y=-1            first you need to multiply the numerator by 3 so when adding

4x+6y=12           the y's cancel and you get a single variable

3(-3x-2y=-1)     —>  -9x - 6y = -3     then you add the like terms

 4x+6y=12      —>   4x + 6y = 12

(-9x+4x) + (6y - 6y) = (-3 + 12)

-5x = 9  then you divide by -5

x = -9/5

then you plug this in to either equation

4(-9/5) + 6y = 12

-36/5 + 6y = 12   then you add 36/5 to both sides

6y = 96/5  then you divide by 6

y = 16/5
