Answer: 8 cups each
explanation: 1 quart= 4 cups
8 quarts=32 cups
32 cups/ 4 people= 8 cups each
The point of elimination is to have one variable so example
3x + 2y = 4
7X + 3y = 5
1) Try to find a way to have one variable
7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28
-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15
2) add
0 + 5y = 13
3) solve for the last variable
5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8
4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one
3x + 2(2.8) = 4
3x + 5.6 = 4
3x = -1.6
x = 0.533333333 (continue)
The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)
Hope you understand!!
-4 is the first consecutive even integer following -6<span />
Answer:
82
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first figure out what the first number is and use that to solve for the next. The problem states that the numbers are consecutive. So the 2nd number word be 1 plus the first.
The sum of 4 consecutive numbers:
1st = x
2nd = x + 1
3rd = x + 2
4th = x + 3
The sum of 4 consecutive number is 326.
1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = 326
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 326
Combine like terms:
4x + 6 = 326
Then we subtract 6 from both sides to isolate 4x:
4x + 6 - 6 = 326 - 6
4x = 320
Then we divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:
4x/4 = 320/4
x = 80
So the first number is 79
Now to get the second, let's just add 1.
80 + 1 = 81
Let's check if our answer would be correct:
80 + 81 + 82 + 83
= 326
The possibilities of an even number are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 .
The possibilities of an odd prime are 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.
8 even numbers + 5 odd primes = 13 possibilities of success
out of 16 total possible outcomes.
Probability of success = 13/16 = 0.8125 = 81.25% .
Rounded to the nearest thousandth, it's 0.813 .
