The second one due to the fact the first one is subtraction and the third one is simply incorrect
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The system of equations representing the situation are


with solutions 


Step-by-step explanation:
Let us call  the number of associates and
 the number of associates and  the number of partners. If each associate costs $600 and each partner costs $1200, and it cost the law firm a total of $15,000, then we have
 the number of partners. If each associate costs $600 and each partner costs $1200, and it cost the law firm a total of $15,000, then we have
 .
.
Since the law firm assigned at total of 16 lawyers, we have 
 .
.
Thus, the system of equations representing the situation are 


And the solution to this system is found by solving for  in the second equation and substituting its value in the first equation:
 in the second equation and substituting its value in the first equation: 






We put this value into  and solve for
 and solve for

Answer:
x = 18; y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
6.
Triangles KLM and KNO are similar, so the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.
KL/KN = LM/NO
10/30 = 6/x
Cross multiply.
10x = 6 * 30
10x = 180
x = 18
KL + LN = KN
10 + y = 30
y = 20
 
        
             
        
        
        
1 in 14   or   1/14
this is the formula I used to calculate:
Probability = Favorable cases / Possible cases
