Answer:

Multiply he second equation by -3

The solution is (0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing this, you make it so you can eliminate the x variables...

start with

3x + 6y = 12  

 x  + 5y = 10        

Now multiply the second equation by -3

-3(x + 5y = 10) becomes...

 -3x - 15y - 30

Now our system is

3x + 6y = 12

-3x - 15y = -30

When we add them together, we get

  -9y = -18

***The x variable is gone, so we have eliminated that

Here is the final solution in case you need it..

  -9y = -18     solve for y..

      y = 2      (divide by -9 on both sides to isolate y)

There for x is

x + 5(2) = 10

  x + 10 = 10

     x = 0

so the solution is (0, 2)

alekssr [168]

Answer:

a. 0.24094

b. 0.2494

c. 0.1473

Step-by-step explanation:

The total probability of choosing any 20 random balls out of 80 is 80 \choose 20 \\. We use combination since the order of selection does not matter

a. P(all numbers are selected)

10 \choose 10 are our numbers, 70 \choose 10 is the selection of other ten numbers apart from our numbers.

\frac{{10\choose 10}{70 \choose 10}}{{80 \choose 20}} = 0.24094

b. P(none of them are selected)

Since none of our numbers are selected, we assume that all the numbers selected are from the other 70.

\frac{{70 \choose 20}}{{80 \choose 20}} = 0.2494

c. P (exactly four are selected)

Only four from our numbers are selected and the rest 16 from the other 70 numbers.

\frac{{10\choose 4}{70 \choose 16}}{{80 \choose 20}} = 0.1473

Determine the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0 = –2x2 + 3. Based on the discriminant value, how many real number soluti
Margarita [4]

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 the discriminant is equal to

(b^{2} -4ac)

if  (b^{2} -4ac)> 0 -------> the equation has two real number solutions

if  (b^{2} -4ac)= 0 -------> the equation has one real number solution

if  (b^{2} -4ac)< 0 -------> the equation has two complex number solutions

In this problem we have

-2x^{2} +3=0

so

a=-2\ b=0\ c=3

substitute in the formula

(0^{2} -4(-2)(3))=24

24 > 0 ---->  the equation has two real number solutions

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the equation has two real number solutions
