Answer: the wise man is 79

Step-by-step explanation:

400 - 3x = 163

400–163 =3x

237 = 3x or 3x = 237 or x = 79…

2x-7y=18 _(1)
-2x+4y=5

11y=23 , Y=23/11 sub in 1

2x-7×23/11=18

2x = 18×11 + 7×23

x = ( 198 + 161 )/2 = 359/2

find the formula for a rational function that satisfies all of the following. its x-intercept is (-3,0). it has a vertical asymp
Norma-Jean [14]

Let that be

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{a(f(x))}{g(x)}

Two vertical asymptotes at -1 and 0

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{a(f(x)}{x(x+1)}

If we simply

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{a(f(x)}{x^2+1}

  • Denominator has degree 2
  • Numerator should have degree as 2 and coefficient as 3 inorder to get horizontal asymptote y=3 means the quadratic equation should contain 3x²
  • But there should be a x intercept at -3 so one zeros should be -3

Find a equation

  • 3x²+9x

Find zeros

  • 3x²+9x=0
  • 3x(x+3)=0
  • x=0,-3

Horizontal asymptote

  • 3x²/x²
  • 3

So our equation is

\\ \rm\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{3x^2+9x}{x(x+1)}

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian
finlep [7]

Answer:

30% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boys = 2

Total number of girls = 3

Total number of students = 5

To find:

Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?

Solution:

Here we have to make 2 choices.

1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

\bold{\text{Required probability }= P(\text{boy as pianist first}) \times P(\text{girl as alternate})}

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

For P(\text{boy as pianist}), number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).

Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5

So, P(\text{boy as pianist}) is:

P(\text{boy as pianist}) = \dfrac{2}{5}

For P(\text{girl as alternate}), number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).

Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

P(\text{girl as alternate}) = \dfrac{3}{4}

So, the required probability is:

\text{Required probability } = \dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{10} = \bold{30\%}

Which statement about this equation is true?
Viktor [21]
The equation has no solution because:

5(n+10)=5n+10n
5n+10n=5n+10n
I subtract 5n from both sides
10n=10n
Only one side is supposed to have the variable which is n, so the equation has no solution.
