Answer: Matt has 7 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cards that Kate has.

Let y represent the number of cards that Matt has.

Let z represent the number of cards that Zach has.

Together Kate and Matt have 47 cards. This means that

x + y = 47

y = 47 - x

If Kate and Zach combine cards they have 126. This means that

x + z = 126

z = 126 - x

If Matt and Zach combine they have 93. This means that

y + z = 93 - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = 47 - x and z = 126 - x into equation 1, it becomes

47 - x + 126 - x = 93

47 + 126 - x - x = 93

173 - 2x = 93

2x = 173 - 93

2x = 80

x = 80/2 = 40

The number of cards that Matt has is

y = 47 - x = 47 - 40

y = 7

Answer:

Matt has 7 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let K, M and Z represent number of cards that Kate, Matt and Zach have.

We have been given that together Kate and Matt have 47 cards. We can represent his information in an equation as:

$K+M=47...(1)$

We are also told that Kate and Zach combine cards they have 126. We can represent his information in an equation as:

$K+Z=126...(2)$

Further, Matt and Zach combine they have 93. We can represent his information in an equation as:

$M+Z=93...(3)$

Upon subtracting equation (3) from equation (2), we will get:

$K-M=126-93$

$K-M=33$

$K=33+M$

Upon substituting this value in equation (1), we will get:

$33+M+M=47$

$33-33+2M=47-33$

$2M=14$

$M=\frac{14}{2}=7$

Therefore, Matt has 7 cards.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (2, –) and has a slope of 3?

snow_lady [41]

We are asked in the problem to deterimne the point slope form that is y - y1 = m(x-x1),. Substituting, m = 3 and x1 = 2

Translating,

y + a = 3*(x-2).

Ahnswer to this problem then is C.

Required information Skip to question A die (six faces) has the number 1 painted on two of its faces, the number 2 painted on th

grigory [225]

Answer:

The change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysing the question one statement at a time.

Before the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space is:

$S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3\}$

And the probability of each is:

$P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}$

$P(1) = \frac{2}{6}$

$P(1) = \frac{1}{3}$

$P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}$

$P(2) = \frac{3}{6}$

$P(2) = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}$

$P(3) = \frac{1}{6}$

P(Odd Number) is then calculated as:

$P(Odd\ Number) = P(1) + P(3)$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}$

Take LCM

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{6}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{6}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{2}$

After the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space becomes:

$S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3,3\}$

The probability of each is:

$P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}$

$P(1) = \frac{2}{7}$

$P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}$

$P(2) = \frac{3}{7}$

$P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}$

$P(3) = \frac{1}{7}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = P(1) + P(3)$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{7}$

Take LCM

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{7}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7}$

Comparing P(Odd Number) before and after

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{2}$ --- Before

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7}$ --- After

<em>We can conclude that the change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)</em>

Question 3 (Multiples and Factors] Three numbers are given below. Use prime factorisation to determine the HCF and LCM 1848 132

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Prime factorization involves rewriting numbers as products

The HCF and the LCM of 1848, 132 and 462 are 66 and 1848 respectively

<h3>How to determine the HCF</h3>

The numbers are given as: 1848, 132 and 462

Using prime factorization, the numbers can be rewritten as:

$1848 = 2^3 * 3 * 7 * 11$

$132 = 2^2 * 3 * 11$

$462 = 2 * 3 * 7 * 11$

The HCF is the product of the highest factors

So, the HCF is:

$HCF = 2 * 3 * 11$

$HCF = 66$

<h3>How to determine the LCM</h3>

In (a), we have:

$1848 = 2^3 * 3 * 7 * 11$

$132 = 2^2 * 3 * 11$

$462 = 2 * 3 * 7 * 11$

So, the LCM is:

$LCM = 2^3 * 3 * 7 * 11$

$LCM = 1848$

Hence, the HCF and the LCM of 1848, 132 and 462 are 66 and 1848 respectively

Solar panel generates 3/5 of kilowatts of power a warehouse wants to generate 24 kilowatts of power write an expression to find

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The warehouse will need 40 solar panels

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 kilowatts is generated by 1 solar panel

24 kilowatts will be generated by ?

24 ÷ 3/5 = (24×5)/3 = 120/3 = 40 solar panels.
