Answer:
6/16
Step-by-step explanation:
On a 16 sided die there would be number as follows :
1,2,3,.. 16 The prime number out in this set of numbers are
2,3,5,7,11, and 13
There are 6 prime number so the probability of rolling a prime number is
6/16
Depend on what the prism looks like/ the measurements
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
Answer:
x= -4 and y= 27/6
Step-by-step explanation:
-(8x + 6y = -5) which converts to -8x -6y = 5
10x + 6y = -13
simplify from there
-8x + 10x = 2x ; -6y + 6y = 0 ; 5 - 13 = -8
soo, now you have
2x = -8
x = -4
then, plug in to find y
8(-4) + 6y = -5
-32 + 6y = -5 add 32 on both sides
6y = 27 divide both sides by 6
y= 27/6 or 4.5
