Let the two numbers be represented by x and y respectively.
Then x + y = 23, and x - y = 5.
Solve this system of linear equations for x and y. Start by rearranging them vertically:
x + y = 23
x - y = 5
--------------- Combining the two equations eliminates y:
2x = 28.
Then x = 14. If x = 14, then 14 + y = 23, and y = 9..
The solution is (14, 9); that is, x = 14 and y = 9.
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The months whose names end in 'y' include Jan, Feb, May, Jul. The probability of randomly selecting a month whose name ends in 'y' is 4/12 (remember that there are 12 months in a year), or 1/3.
Thus, the probability of selecting a month whose name does NOT end in 'y' is 8/12, or 2/3. Note that this event is the 'complement' of the first event:
P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
Answer: y=
+2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>This is y intercept form</em>
First you find the slope
Then you find the y intercept and plug it in t the equation y=mx+b
It is neccesary because you cannot subtract them without having a common denominator so you have to rename 4 1/2
