Mathematics

7 0

Answer:

(8, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 4y = 16 → (1)

- x + 3y = - 2 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term

0 + 7y = 14

7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

x + 4(2) = 16

x + 8 = 16 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 8

solution is (8, 2 )

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability, "AND" means "multiplication" and

"OR" means "addition".

We want the probability that she picks FAVORITE SHIRT "AND" FAVORITE PANT.

Probability that she picks favorite shirt = 3/5

Probability that she picks favorite pants = 2/4 = 1/2

Since, "AND", we "multiply" both to get:

3/5 * 1/2 = 3/10

leontyne sings for $1,000 an hour. Her rate increases by 50 percent after midnight. If she sings one night from 8:30 pm until 1:

iren2701 [21]

From 8.30 pm to 12 : 00

Difference = 12 : 00 - 08:30 = 3 : 30

3 hours 30 minutes = 3.5 hours.

Total for those hours = 3.5 * 1000 = $3500

From 12:00 to 1:00 am = 1 hour.

50% increase = 50% of 1000 = .50 * 1000 = 500

So it will increase to 1000 + 500 = $1500 per hour.

For the 1 hour extra, 1 * 1500 = $1500

Total = $3500 + $1500 = $5000

She will be paid $5000
