At a game show, there are 8 people (including you and your friend) in the front row. The host randomly chooses 3 people from the

front row to be contestants. The order in which they are chosen does not matter. There are ^8C^3 = 56 total ways to choose the 3 contestants. What is the probability that you and your friend are both chosen?​

Answer:

6 / 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of people = 8

Number of people to be chosen = 3

Hence, total possible outcomes = 8C3 (since order does not matter)

Recall:

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

8C3 = 8! ÷ 5!3!

8C3 = (8*7*6) / (3*2*1) = 56

Required outcome :

I and my friend plus one other person

I and my friend = 2C2

1 person from the remaining 6 = 6C1

Required outcome :

2C2 * 6C1 = 1 * 6 = 6

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 6 / 56

What is the value of X?
natali 33 [55]

Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation: Since we know that segment AB and BC are the same measure indicated by the black lines running perpendicular to the lines in triangle themselves, we know that angle A and angle C are the same measure. This means we know this equation... Solve this to complete step 1...

69°=(9y-3)°

If you solve for y, you should get 8. This means that y=8. In knowing that a triangle's interior angles add up to 180°, we know that Angle B must be... Solve this equation for step 2...

∠B=180°-(∠A+∠C)

If you solve to find angle B, you should get that ∠B=42°. Knowing this, we can set up another equation similar to that in step 1 (when we found y knowing the angle) to find x... Solve this equation for your third and final step...  

42°=(5x+2)°

If done step 1 through 3 correctly, you should get x to be equal to... and the final answer... x=8

Y=3x-10<br> 2x-5=y<br> plz help me with this and show the work plz i need it for my test
tankabanditka [31]
Substitution Method:

3x - 10 = 2x - 5

3x = 2x + 5

x = 5

Now solving for y:

y = 3x - 10

y = 3(5) - 10

y = 15 - 10

y = 5

(x, y) = (5, 5)

Check answer:

5 = 3(5) - 10
5 = 15 - 10
5 = 5

5 = 2(5) - 5
5 = 10 - 5
5 = 5

Since all of the equalities are true, (5, 5) is a true solution
