Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

When you solve this system of equations, you get x=10 and y=8. Thus, 5*10, or 50, of the 122 right-handed students are female. Therefore, the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female is

50/122

which to the nearest thousandth is 0.410.

storchak [24]
The answer is A.) 3x-7y and -7y+3x
This is due to "3x" implies the value is positive, or "+3x", and -7y remains -7y.
So, we have 3x-7y and -7y+3x.

I hope this helps!

Identify the factors of x2 − 5x − 24.
lutik1710 [3]
This seems to look like a factoring question. When factoring, one must know that the second number is the sum of the two values multiplied by x, and the third number is what happens when one multiplies those two numbers. Using these definitions, one can conclude that  the correct answer is (x-8)(x+3)
