For there to be 1 car, we consider two possible outcomes:
The first door opened has a car or the second door opened has a car.
P(1 car) = 2/6 x 4/5 + 4/6 x 2/5
P(1 car) = 8/15
For there to be no car in either door
P(no car) = 4/6 x 3/5
P(no car) = 2/5
Probability of at least one car is the sum of the probability of one car and probability of two cars:
P(2 cars) = 2/6 x 1/5
= 1/15
P(1 car) + P(2 cars) = 8/15 + 1/15
= 3/5
5/8 - 17/8
combine : 5-17 / 8
subtract : 5 - 7 = -12
-12/8
apply fraction rule ( -a/b = - a/b) : - 12/8
cancel common factor 4
answer : - 3/2

Answer:
y=-
x+
Step-by-step explanation:
First, calculate the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the equation of line we are asked to find
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(2-(-4))/(-2-1)
=6/-3
=-2
in this equation the slope is 2, and to find the first equation, use y=mx+b
use the point (1, -4) to find b
-4=(2)(1)+b
-4=2+b
b=-6
the first equation of the line is y=2x-6
to find the x intercept of that line substitute 0 for y
0=2x-6
2x=6
x=3
the slope of a line perpendicular to this would be the opposite reciprocal of the slope which would be equal to -1/2
for the second equation of the line to pass thorugh the x-intercept of the first line, it must pass through (3, 0), so substitute and solve for b
y=mx+b
0=(-1/2)(3)+b
b=3/2
thus the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line through (1,-4) and (-2, 2) and passes through the x intercept of that line is y=-x+3/2
Answer: option C is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of linear equations is
10x + 7y = 12 - - - - - - - 1
8x + 7y = 18 - - - - - - - 2
Since the coefficient of y is the same in equation 1 and equation 2, we will eliminate y by subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
10x - 8x + 7y - 7y = 12 - 18
2x = -6
x = - 6/2 = - 3
Substituting x = - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
10×-3 + 7y = 12
-30 + 7y = 12
Let the constants be on the right hand side and the term containing y be on the left hand side. It becomes
7y = 12 + 30
7y = 42
y = 42/7
y = 6
C) (−3, 6)
