Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)
There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.
There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.
If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0 = (x + 1)(x + 1)
Therefore
x + 1 = 0
x = -1 (twice)
(-1, 0), (-1, 0)
Answer:
Usually there are the variables x y z but it doesn't matter what they are.
Step-by-step explanation:
First choose your first variable to solve. Find x by putting all the numbers and variables to one side.
once you found x substitute the answer for x in all the equations. Next find y and substitute your answer in all the equations again.
Once you have solved 2 variables then you are able to solve z.
