Answer:
p= 2.5
q= 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines should overlap to have infinite solutions, slopes should be same and y-intercepts should be same.
Equations in slope- intercept form:
6x-(2p-3)y-2q-3=0 ⇒ (2p-3)y= 6x -2q-3 ⇒ y= 6/(2p-3)x -(2q+3)/(2p-3)
12x-( 2p-1)y-5q+1=0 ⇒ (2p-1)y= 12x - 5q+1 ⇒ y=12/(2p-1)x - (5q-1)/(2p-1)
Slopes equal:
6/(2p-3)= 12/(2p-1)
6(2p-1)= 12(2p-3)
12p- 6= 24p - 36
12p= 30
p= 30/12
p= 2.5
y-intercepts equal:
(2q+3)/(2p-3)= (5q-1)/(2p-1)
(2q+3)/(2*2.5-3)= (5q-1)/(2*2.5-1)
(2q+3)/2= (5q-1)/4
4(2q+3)= 2(5q-1)
8q+12= 10q- 2
2q= 14
q= 7
Answer:
C(x) = 25 + 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
He already has 25 cards.
He is collecting 2 cards per month. In x months, he will have collected:
2 * x = 2x cards
That means that the number of cards he will have after x months will be the sum of the cards he already has and the cards he collects per month:
C(x) = 25 + 2x
Answer:
1/4, 25%, or 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Therefore, as each suit contains 13 cards, and the deck is split up into 4 suits, that leaves us with a 13/52 chance to pick a spade.
That fraction is equivalent to 1/4, so that leaves us with a probability of picking a spade at:
1/4, 25%, or 0.25
First you have to convert the denominators to the Lowest Common Multiple (unless the denominators are equal, of course).
Example 1/4 + 1/2
The LCM of 2 and 4 = 4 so we can write 1/2 as 1*2/2*2 = 2/4.
Now we can add:-
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.
Same thing goes for subtraction.
Example 2:-
5/6 - 1/7 :-
LCM of 6 and 7 = 6*7 = 42 so we have:-
5*7 / 6*7 - 1*6 / 7*6
= 35/42 - 6/42 = 29/42
