OLEGan [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The numbers are 11 and 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x = 5y - 6 </em> This is just the first sentence written as an equation.

<em>x + y = 60</em> This is just the second sentence written as an equation.

<em>5y - 6 + y = 60</em> Substitute x for what you know it is equal to

<em>6y - 6 = 60</em> Collect like terms

<em>6y = 66</em> Add 6 to each side

<em>y = 11</em> Divide each side by 6

<em>x = 5 × 11 - 6 </em> Substitute y for what you know it is

<em>x = 55 - 6</em> Simplify by working out 5 × 11 = 55

<em>x = 49</em> Subtract 6 from 55 to get 49

We have three coins: one with heads on both faces, the second with tails on both faces, and the third a regular one. We choose o
Finger [1]

Answer:

Probability: \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question one coin is chosen at random and tossed. That coin then lands and is heads. Since the coin landed on heads we can <u>eliminate the possibility</u> of the coin that was chosen being the coin with double tails.

The following possibilities are that the coin has double heads or is a regular coin with both tails and heads. Seeing as the coin landed on heads, there are only two possible out comes for the other side of the coin

The other side is either Heads or Tails. That gives us a 50% chance of the other side being tails.

\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = 50%

Answer:

<h3>C. (a, b)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a midpoint:

M\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2};\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

We have A(0, 0) and C(2a, 2b). Substitute:

x=\dfrac{0+2a}{2}=\dfrac{2a}{2}=a\\\\y=\dfrac{2b+0}{2}=\dfrac{2b}{2}=b

M(a, b)
