-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
2 3/4 * 3.36 / (1 2/5)
=11/4 * 3.36 / (7/5)
= 9.24 / (7/5)
= 9.24 / 1.4
= 6.6
Probabilities are used to determine the likelihood of events
The value of the probability P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) is 0.056
<h3>How to estimate the probability</h3>
To calculate the probability, we make use of the following representations:
- Event A represents the likelihood of thinking of a song
- Event B represents the likelihood of turning on the radio and hearing the song
So, we have:
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = P(A) * P(B)
Assume that:
P(A) = 0.12 and P(B) = 0.47
So, we have:
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.12* 0.47
Evaluate the product
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.0564
Approximate
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.056
Hence, the value of the probability P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) is 0.056

we are given
total number of apples =54
Let's assume each friend receives =x
He kept a apples for himself and gave each of 6 friends an equal number of apples
so, we will get equation as
now, we can solve for x
each friend receives is 9 apples.........Answer
