Answer:

x=3, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=9. Equation 1

4x+y=13 Equation 2

y=13-4x. Modify equation 2 to isolate y

2x+3(13-4x)=9 subst value of y of equation 2 into equation 1

2x+39-12x=9 solve equation

-10x+39=9

-10x=-30

x=3

solve for y

2x+3y=9

2(3)+3y=9

6+3y=9

3y=3

y=1

Check answer:

4x+y=13

4(3)+1=13

13=13

A prize wheel is divided into 12 equally likely spaces labeled 1 to 12.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Events E and F are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

E = {multiple of 3} = {3, 6, 9, 12}

P(E) = 4/12

F = {even number} = {2, 4, 6, 8. 10, 12}

P(F) = 6/12

E and F = {even and multiple of 3} = {6, 12}

P(E∩F) = 2/12

In order for two events to be independent the following relationship must be true:

$P(E)*P(F) = P(E\cap F)$

Testing this property:

$P(E)*P(F) = \frac{4}{12}*\frac{6}{12}=\frac{24}{144}=\frac{1}{6} \\P(E\cap F) = \frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6} \\P(E)*P(F) = P(E\cap F)$

The relationship holds true, thus events E and F are independent.

Sebastian wants to create a right triangle with side lengths 14 inches, 48 inches, and 5

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: Choice A

$\text{Yes, because } 14^2+48^2 \text{ is equal to } 50^2$

=======================================================

Explanation:

The pythagorean theorem is $a^2+b^2 = c^2$

The value of c is always the longest side, aka hypotenuse.

The order of 'a' and b doesn't matter.

So a = 14, b = 48, c = 50

We have $a^2+b^2 = 14^2+48^2 = 196+2304 = 2500$

We also have $c^2 = 50^2 = 2500$

Both sides result in 2500 which proves that $14^2+48^2 = 50^2$ is a true statement. Therefore, we do have a right triangle.
