<em>*Because of BODMAS, 1/2x=x/2.</em>
1/2x+3/4=1
1/2x+3/4=4/4
1/2x=4/4-3/4
1/2x=1/4
x/2=1/4
x=2/4
x=1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the y in the 1st equation with the 2nd equation.
7x + 10(2x + 9) = 36
7x + 20x + 90 = 36
27x + 90 = 36
3x + 10 = 4
3x = -6
x = -2
So now we can find y.
y = 2x + 9 = 2(-2) + 9 = (-4) + 9 = 5.
So x = -2, y = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.
Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.
What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.
Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.
For each trial, we get for each child, C:
C1: X + (X or Y)
C2: X + (X or Y)
C3: X + (X or Y)
C4: X + (X or Y)
C5: X + (X or Y)
Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.
