Answer:

8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use x for the first number, and y for the second, you get equations of 3x+5y=54 and x-2=y.

You can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve it. This gives 3x+5(x-2)=54.

The brackets can be expanded to 3x+5x-10=54. Collecting like terms makes it 8x-10=54.

Next, we add 10 to both sides. This gives 8x=64.

From there, we isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8, giving x=8.

To work out the second number, we can sub 8 for x in either equation (I'm using the second one as it's simpler).

This comes to y=8-2, therefore y=6.

14/1 ÷ 3/8 = please show work and answer fast​
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 37 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

14/1÷3/8=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

14/1 × 8/3=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

14×8/1×3 = 112/3

This fraction cannot be reduced.

The fraction

112/3

is the same as

112÷3

Convert to a mixed number using

long division so

112/3=37 1/3

Therefore:

14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3

A group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year. 315 responded "yes", and 190 responded "no".
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

Number who have run a red light = 315

Number who haven't run a red light = 190

From the data :

The total number of people sampled = total possible outcome = (315 + 190) = 505

Selecting a person at random, probability that the selected person has run a red light :

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = Number who have run a red light = 315

P(having run a red light) = 315 / 505 = 0.624

The table shows the number of championships won by the baseball and softball leagues of three youth baseball divisions organized
castortr0y [4]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

heyq


The correct answer is:


7/10


Explanation:


Finding the totals of each column and row, we find:


There are 3+2+1 = 6 children in the baseball league.

There are 7+2+1 = 10 children in the softball league.

There are 3+7 = 10 children in the 7-9 division.

There are 2+2 = 4 children in the 10-12 division.

There are 1+1 = 2 children in the 13-15 division.

There are a total of 10+6 = 16 children.


We start with the information that the team is a member of the softball league.  There are 10 children in this league; this is the denominator of the probability.


There are 7 children in the 7-9 division that are in the softball league.  This gives us the probability 7/10.

please you are a student study well especially graph is easy thing to do.
