C -3/2  

Just multiply the second equation by -3/2
this will make the y term = -3/4y 

so adding will eliminate the  y terms.

Answer:

-\dfrac{3}{2}

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: System of equation

9x+\frac{3}{4}y=6

2x+\frac{1}{2}y=9

We have to solve system of equation by eliminating y

So, first we will make the coefficient of y same with opposite sign.

Coefficient of y in first equation 3/4

Coefficient of y in 2nd equation 1/2

LCM \ of\ \frac{3}{4}\ and\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

Multiply second equation by -3/2 to make coefficient of y same

-\frac{3}{2}\cdot 2x-\frac{3}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}y=-\frac{3}{2}\cdot 9

-3x-\frac{3}{4}y=-\frac{27}{2}

9x+\frac{3}{4}y=6

Add both equation and eliminate y

-3x+9x=-\frac{27}{2}+6

6x=-\frac{15}{2}

x=-\frac{5}{4}

Hence, We multiply by -3/2 to eliminate y and solve the system of equation.

A roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. A bet on three numbers pays 11 to 1 (that is, if you bet $1 and one of
OLga [1]

Answer:

You are expected to lose $0.05 (or win -$0.05)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00, there are 38 possible outcomes.

In this bet, you are allowed to pick 3 out of the 38 numbers. Thus, your chances of winning (P(W)) and losing (P(L)) are:

P(W)=\frac{3}{38}\\P(L) = 1 - P(W)\\P(L) = \frac{35}{38}\\

The expected value of the bet is given by the sum of the product of each outcome pay by its probability. Winning the bet means winning $11 while losing the bet means losing $1. The expected value is:

EV = (11*\frac{3}{38}) -(1*\frac{35}{38})\\EV = -\$0.0525

Therefore, with a $1 bet, you are expected to lose roughly $0.05

Write 4.625 as a mixed number in a simplest form
Scorpion4ik [409]
The whole part will be the 4. The fraction part will be the decimal. That converts to the fraction 25/40. Therefore, 4.625 as a mixed number is 4 and 25/40.
