Answer:

(12,0) and (3, -1) and (0,-4/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find if a point makes an equation true, just substitute its x and y values in in the equation and simplify.

1) Let's test the point (12,0). Substitute 12 for x and 0 for y in the equation:

$x-9y=12\\(12)-9(0)=12\\12-0=12\\12=12$

12 does equal 12, so (12,0) makes the equation true.

2) Let's test the point (0, 12). Substitute 0 for x and 12 for y in the equation:

$x-9y=12\\(0)-9(12) = 12\\0-108 = 12\\-108 = 12$

However, -108 does not equal 12, so (0,12) does not make the equation true.

3) Let's test the point (3, -1). Substitute 3 for x and -1 for y in the equation:

$x-9y=12\\(3)-9(-1) = 12\\3 + 9 = 12\\12 = 12$

12 does equal 12, so (3, -1) makes the equation true.

4) Let's test the point (0, -4/3). Substitute 0 for x and -4/3 for y in the equation:

$(0) -9(-\frac{4}{3} ) = 12\\0 + \frac{36}{3} = 12\\0 + 12 = 12 \\12 = 12$

12 does equal 12, so (0, -4/3) makes the equation true.

Answer:

-y + 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start like by solving the order of operations, and then add our Y's:

7y + 7 + −8y + 56

Adding:

+63 - y

Simplifying:

-y + 63

Thus, our answer is -y + 63

Answer:

m^2/n

Step-by-step explanation:

The following laws of exponent are useful to this problem:

$\displaystyle \large{ {(mn)}^{b} = {m}^{b} {n}^{b} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ {n}^{ - b} = \frac{1}{ {n}^{b} } }$

We are given the expression:

$\displaystyle \large{( {m}^{8} {n}^{ - 4} )^{ \frac{1}{4} } }$

Use the first law of exponent above.

$\displaystyle \large{( {m}^{8} {n}^{ - 4} )^{ \frac{1}{4} } = {m}^{(8)( \frac{1}{4}) } {n}^{ ( - 4)( \frac{1}{4}) } } \\ \displaystyle \large{( {m}^{8} {n}^{ - 4} )^{ \frac{1}{4} } = {m}^{2 } {n}^{ - 1} }$

Make sure to recall the important necesscary fundamental math such as operation with negative numbers/integers, basic division, fraction, etc.

From the expression, apply the second law of exponent to n^-1.

$\displaystyle \large{( {m}^{8} {n}^{ - 4} )^{ \frac{1}{4} } = {m}^{2 } ( \frac{1}{ {n}^{1} } )} \\ \displaystyle \large{( {m}^{8} {n}^{ - 4} )^{ \frac{1}{4} } = {m}^{2 } ( \frac{1}{ {n} } )} \\$

Multiply m in.

$\displaystyle \large{( {m}^{8} {n}^{ - 4} )^{ \frac{1}{4} } = \frac{ {m}^{2} }{ {n} } }$

Thus the answer is m^2/n.

10. A bag contains 4 red balls, 6 green balls and some white balls. If the probability of not drawing a white ball in one draw b

klasskru [66]

Answer:

No of white balls = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total no of red balls = 4

Total no of green balls = 6

The probability of not drawing a white ball in one draw be, $P=\dfrac{2}{3}$

We need to find the number of white balls. Let there are x balls.

The probability of drawing a white ball = 1 - the probability of not drawing a white ball

= 1 -2/3

= 1/3

Using the formula for solving probability of having a white ball.

$P=\dfrac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{total no of outcomes}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{x}{4+6+x}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{x}{10+x}\\\\10+x=3x\\\\10=2x\\\\x=5$

Hence, there are 5 white balls.
