a. The first variable is x and the second variable is y.
b. The equations are 
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The first step is to define the variables. The variables can be any two symbols, letters, characters, etc.
Here let the first variable be x and the let the second variable be y.
So the variables are defined as x and y.
Step 2:
The sum of the given variables is 12.
The first variable + the second variable = 12,
The difference between the two variables is 4.
The first variable - the second variable = 4.
Step 3:
If we add both the equations we get, 
and 
x = 8 and y = 4.
P(sum = 6) = 5/36 ; P(sum = 12) = 1/36
expected payoff = (5/36)(5) + (1/36)(9) = $0.94
Answer:
It is 9000 cents or $90 total for 5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer is 32% because if you turn 32% into a decimal (which would be 0.32) then multiply it by 25 you would get 8. Which then means if he stopped 8 times and went through 25 intersections then he stopped at 32% of the intersections. I hope this helps :)
Answer:
9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/5 - 1 1/2
Get a common denominator of 10
2 2/5 *2/2 = 2 4/10
1 1/2 *5/5 = 1 5/10
2 4/10 - 1 5/10
Borrow from the 2 as 10/10
1 + 10/10 +4/10 - 1 5/10
1 14/10 - 1 5/10
9/10
