Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-40x + 8y = -24

 3x  -  8y = 24

-37x = 0

x = 0

0 + y = -3

y = -3

(0, -3)

Answer:

I will show you how to solve for x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = -3

3x - 8y = 24

You can isolate y in the first equation, and substitute that into the second equation.

so to isolate y in -5x + y = -3, you would add 5x to both sides

this gives you y = 5x - 3

Then substitute this y into the equation below.

3x - 8(5x-3) = 24    <u> (this way, the y variable disappears)</u>

then distribute the 8 into the bracket

3x - 40x + 24 = 24

combine the variables

-37x + 24 = 24

isolate x by moving the constants to one side

-37x = 0

so x = 0

I am not sure if you want the rest, but here it is.

substitute x = 0 into one of the equations.

-5x + y = -3

-5(0) + y = -3

y = -3

A power system will collapse if a ground fault occurs on any two of lines A, B, and C simultaneously. Assume that ground faults
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways the system can fail:

2 lines from a set of 3 fail, or all three fail.

Two from a set of 3:

Can be A and B, A and C, or B and C. Three possible outcomes then.

The probability of each is:

0.01*0.01*0.99

Two failling, each with 0.01 probability, and 1 working, with 0.99 probability.

All three:

Each with 0.01 probability.

a) What is the probability that the system will collapse

Both cases, so

p = 3*(0.01)^2*0.99 + (0.01)^3 = 0.000298

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Nadia spent 1/4 of her money on a shirt and 2/5 of her money on new shoes. What fraction of Nadias money was spent?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

13/20 of her money was spent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer you have to add these two fractions together, and to do that you must find a common denominator.

For this problem I chose to use 20 for the denominator since it is the smallest number that both 4 and 5 have in common.

Keep in mind that, whatever you do to the denominator, you must also do to the numerator, so if you multiply 5 by 4, you must also multiply 2 by 4.

5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20

Factor 2x4 - 20x2 - 78.
Airida [17]

Answer:

2x⁴ - 20x² - 78

To factor the expression look for the LCM of the numbers

LCM of the numbers is 2

Factorize that one out

That's

2( x⁴ - 10x² - 39)

Hope this helps
