112/2=56 (sum of both lengths)
4x=56
x=14
length=42
width=14
2x + 4y = 14
4x + y = 20......multiply by -4
----------------
2x + 4y = 14
-16x - 4y = -80 (result of multiplying by -4)
---------------add
-14x = -66....as u can see, ur y's cancel out
so ur answer is : 1st answer choice <==
** and just so u know, u could have multiplied the 1st equation by -2, and it would have cancelled out ur x's
Answer:
The number of expected people at the concert is 8,500 people
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to determine the expected number of people that will attend a concert if we are given the probabilities that it will rain and it will not rain.
We proceed as follows;
The probability that it will rain is 30% or 0:3
The probability that it will not rain would be 1 -0.3 = 0.7
Now, we proceed to calculate the number of people that will attend by multiplying the probabilities by the expected number of people when it rains and when it does not rain.
Mathematically this is;
Number of expected guests = (probability of not raining * number of expected guests when it does not rain) + (probability of raining * number of expected guests when it rains)
Let’s plug values;
Number of expected guests = (0.3 * 5,000) + (0.7 * 10,000) = 1,500 + 7,000 = 8,500 people
1081637.6 when rounded to the nearest tenth
