Substitute y = 2x - 15 to the second equation:
4x + 3(2x - 15) = -5 use distributive property
4x + (3)(2x) + (3)(-15) = -5
4x + 6x - 45 = -5 add 45 to both sides
10x = 40 divide both sides by 10
x = 4
Substitute the value of x to the equation y = 2x - 15:
y = 2(4) - 15 = 8 - 15 = -7
<h3>Answer: (4, -7)</h3>
For problems such as this, it can be handy to remember that
.. 1/(1/a +1/b) = ab/(a +b)
The time required to do a job is the inverse of the rate at which the job is done. Rates are added when people work together (in math problems, not in real life).
(2:44)*(3:14)/(2:44 +3:14) = 1:28:52.3
___
2:44 = 41/15 hours = 82/30 hours
3:14 = 97/30 hours
Using the formula above, we have a "working together" time of
.. (82/30)*(97/30)/(82/30 +97/30) = 82*97/(30*179) = 3977/2685 . . . hours
.. = 1 hour 28 156/179 minutes
.. = 1 hour 28 minutes 52 52/179 seconds

Answer:
4/25 = 0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest stick must be between 0 and 5/3. The probability that it is longer than 1 is therefore:
(5/3 − 1) / (5/3 − 0)
(2/3) / (5/3)
2/5
So the probability that both of the shortest sticks are longer than 1 is (2/5)² = 4/25.
