Subtitute the pair (3,28) to x and y, if the result in right side is -8, then the pair is a solution to the equation
2x - y/2
= 2(3) - 28/2
= 6 - 14
= -8
The result is -8, so the pair (3,28) is a solution
Im not 100 percent positive that this is correct but I think the answer is
184
Probability =
(number of ways it can come out the way you want it to)
divided by
(total number of ways it can come out).
Total number of ways it can come out =
number of bottles in the cooler
= (10 + 15 + 13) = 38 .
Number of ways it can come out the way you want it to =
(soda + lemonade)
= (10 + 15) = 25 .
Probability of coming out the way you want it to =
25 / 38 = about 65.8 % .
1. -3/2
2. -1/2
3. 1.3
4. 1 1/2
