Answer:

hi! so we have 2 points right? you will need to use something called the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1 we're subtracting our y values of both points and x values of both points while dividing them this gives us a slope of a line

now I want you to label before you do this in your head! it can get confusing to think about it so label label (x1-1,y1 4) (x2 14,y2 -2) now you have them labeled this parts easy! use the formula -2-4/14--1 okay now use your calculator you get -2/5 and now you have your m or slope!

memorize y2-y1/x2-x1 now! it will save you!

Elenna [48]

circumference of circle = 2*pi*r given r = 5 so circumference = 31.42 now we know 360 degree is uniformly distributed on this circumference so x/360=10/31.42 so x= 114.65 so option C.) 114.65 is the answer

The length of a rectangle is 5 meters less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 46 meters. Find the width.

Taya2010 [7]

Length=3width-5
(2(x))+(2(3x-5)=46
2x+6x+10=46
8x=56
x=7
width=7 length=16

Use substitution to solve the following system of linear equations and fill in the following blanks:

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$x=-4$

$y=3$

$z=-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$x+y+z=-6$

$x-6y-7z=-29$

$-7y-5z=4$

Solve for $x$ in the 1st equation:

$x+y+z=-6$

$x+y=-z-6$

$x=-y-z-6$

Substitute the value of $x$ into the 2nd equation and solve for $z$ :

$x-6y-7z=-29$

$(-y-z-6)-6y-7=-29$

$-7y-z-13=-29$

$-7y-z=-16$

$-z=-16+7y$

$z=16-7y$

Substitute the value of $z$ into the 3rd equation and solve for $y$ :

$-7y-5z=4$

$-7y-5(16-7y)=4$

$-7y-80+35y=4$

$28y-80=4$

$28y=84$

$y=3$

Plug $y=3$ into the solved expression for $z$ and evaluate to solve for $z$ :

$z=16-7(3)$

$z=16-21$

$z=-5$

Plug $z=-5$ into the solved expression for $x$ and evaluate to solve for $x$ :

$x=-(3)-(-5)-6$

$x=-3+5-6$

$x=2-6$

$x=-4$

Therefore:

$x=-4$

$y=3$

$z=-5$

Skip counting represents 8×4

Blizzard [7]

It represents that because multiplication is like adding continually so it represent 8+8+8+8 which is 8 x 4

Answer:

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 22 of them play basketball and 18 of them play baseball. There are 3 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

I know how to calculate the probability of students play both basketball and baseball which is 1330 because 22+18+3=43 and 43−30 will give you the number of students plays both sports.

But how would you find the probability using the formula P(A∩B)=P(A)×p(B)?

Thank you for all of the help.

That formula only works if events A (play basketball) and B (play baseball) are independent, but they are not in this case, since out of the 18 players that play baseball, 13 play basketball, and hence P(A|B)=1318<2230=P(A) (in other words: one who plays basketball is less likely to play basketball as well in comparison to someone who does not play baseball, i.e. playing baseball and playing basketball are negatively (or inversely) correlated)

So: the two events are not independent, and so that formula doesn't work.

Fortunately, a formula that does work (always!) is:

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)

Hence:

P(A∩B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∪B)=2230+1830−2730=1330
