Answer:

(0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

3x - y = -5

Put "y" on one side to isolate

3x - y = -5

3x = y - 5

3x + 5 = y

Plug "3x + 5" in for "y" in the second equation

x + (3x + 5) = 5

4x + 5 = 5

4x = 0

x = 0

Plug  "0" in for "x" in any one of the equations

0 + y = 5

y = 5

To check, plug in "0" for "x" into the first equation and make sure they get the same answers

3(0) - y = -5

0 - y = -5

y = 5

How many solutions does the system formed by x - y = 3 and ay + 3a = 0 have for a non zero number a? Explain and show how you ge
dlinn [17]
Solve both equations for y:
x-y=3 \ \ \ |-x \\&#10;-y=-x+3 \ \ \ |\times (-1) \\&#10;y=x-3 \\ \\&#10;ay+3a=0 \ \ \ |-3a \\&#10;ay=-3a \ \ \ |\div a, a \not= 0 \\&#10;y=-3

Set the expressions equal to each other:
y=y \\ x-3=-3 \ \ \ |+3 \\&#10;x=0 \\ \\&#10;(x,y)=(0,-3)

So, for every nonzero number a the system of equations has one solution.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Probability = 0.108375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the probability of false positive be represented with p

p = 0.15

Required

Determine the probability the first occurrence of p was at the third person

We have that:

p = 0.15

The  probability that a trustworthy person do not fail the test (q) is:

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.15

q = 0.85

The required probability implies that:

The first person did not fail: i.e. 0.85

The second person did not fail: i.e. 0.85

The third person failed: i.e. 0.15

This is then calculated as:

Probability = 0.85 * 0.85 * 0.15

Probability = 0.108375

<em>Hence, the probability that the first false positive occurred at the third person is 0.108375</em>
