Answer:

Rewrite the first equation as x = 36 – 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 36 (1)

4x + 5y = 9 (2)

Using substitution method

From (1)

x = 36 - 3y

Substitute x = 36 - 3y into (2)

4x + 5y = 9

4(36 - 3y) + 5y = 9

144 - 12y + 5y = 9

- 12y + 5y = 9 - 144

-7y = -135

y = -135 / -7

y = 19.3

There is an error with the second equation, 4x + 5y can not be equal to 9

Nevertheless, the first step when solving by substitution is:

Rewrite the first equation as

x = 36 – 3y.

-2y + 4 &gt; 10<br><br> solve the inequality
Marta_Voda [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

-2y+4>10

subtract 4 from both sides

-2y+4-4>10-4

-2y>6

divide both sides by two

-2/2y>6/2

-1y>3

if negative y is greater than three than you have to multiply both sides of the equation by -1

y>-3 if you put that back into the earlier equation it is impossible.

so we have to switch the signs to < or less than

y<-3

Hope that helps:)

You have a six-sided die that you roll once. Let Ri denote the event that the roll is i. Let G j denote the event that the roll
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a. P (R3 | G1)=\frac{1}{5}

b. P (R6| G3)= \frac{1}{3}

c. P(G3|E)=\frac{2}{3}

d. P (E|G3)=\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space associated with the random experiment of throwing a dice is is the equiprobable space {R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6}. Then,

a. The conditional probability that 3 is rolled given that the roll is greater than 1? P (R3 | G1) = \frac{P (R3\bigcap G1)}{P(G1)} = \frac{1/6}{5/6} = \frac{1}{5}

b. What is the conditional probability that 6 is rolled given that the roll is greater than 3? P (R6| G3) = \frac{P (R6\bigcap G3)}{P(G3)} = \frac{1/6}{3/6} = \frac{1}{3}

c. What is P [GIE], the conditional probability that the roll is greater than 3 given that the roll is even? P(G3|E) = \frac{P (G3\bigcap E)}{P(E)} = \frac{2/6}{3/6} = \frac{2}{3}

d. Given that the roll is greater than 3, what is the conditional probability that the roll is even? P (E|G3) = \frac{P (E\bigcap G3)}{P(G3)} = \frac{2/6}{3/6} = \frac{2}{3}
