The incomplete table below summarizes the number of left-handed students and right-handed students by gender for the eighth-grad

e students at Keisel Middle School. There are 5 times as many right-handed female students as there are left-handed female students, and there are 9 times as many right-handed male students as there are left-handed male students. if there is a total of 18 left-handed students and 122 right-handed students in the school, which of the following is closest to the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female? (Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)
A) 0.410
B) 0.357
C) 0.333

Answer: A) 0.410

In order to solve this problem, you should create two equations using two variables (x and y) and the information you're given. Let x be the number of left-handed female students and let y be the number of left-handed male students. Using the information given in the problem, the number of right-handed female students will be 5x and the number of right-handed male students will be 9y. Since the total number of left-handed students is 18 and the total number of right-handed students is 122, the system of equations below must be true:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

I need help, how do you do this
adell [148]

Answer: So you are going to make an equation first.

Step-by-step explanation:

first we know that for the first 2 hours the snow fell at an inch an hour. so we are going to make our first plots ( I suggest using an online site like geogebra or desmos to start out with before plotting for your assingment)

our first plot is going to be at (1,1) or 1 over and 1 up. remember points are in the form of (x,y). then (2,2)

Now we see that it has changed  now there is no  new snow for 6 hours so you are going to have a flat line so its going to be (2,2) then its going to continue that way as (3,2),(4,2), (5,2) (6,2)(7,2)(8,2).

It starts snowing again and now we have a new thing to plot the snow is falling at a constant of 3 inches an hour for the next 5 hours so now we are going to plot hte points to get our points we are going add 3 inches to our current inches each new hour. so its going to be (9,(2+3)) which is (9,5) and continue on doing that so we will have the plots (10,8) (11,11) (12,14) (13,17). and now we connect our plots by creating segments so then you do that on your thing and youre set to go I hope this helps.

Answer:

A is correct, x=7, AB=20

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the options say x=7 so you can just input 7 into 4x-8 to find AB

4(7)-8=AB

28-8=AB

20=AB

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest :)
