<h3>Answer:</h3>

2/15

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

There are 8C2 = 28 ways to choose 2 dimes from the 8 dimes in Annie's purse. There are 21C2 = 210 ways to choose 2 coins from the 21 coins in Annie's purse.

Of the 210 ways to choose 2 coins, 28 of the choices will result in 2 dimes being chosen. The probability of choosing 2 dimes is 28/210 = 2/15.

_____

<em>Comment on nCk</em>

The number of ways to choose k objects from n, when order does not matter, is ...

... n!/(k!(n -k)!)

For the computations above, we have ...

... 8C2 = 8·7/(2·1) = 28

... 21C2 = 21·20/(2·1) = 210

Tony is trying to find the solution of the system 2x - 4y +12 using elimination 3x + 4y = 48 He wrote these steps to solve the p
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: Solution: (12, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 4y = 12

3x + 4y = 48

Add both equations

5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5

x = 12

We can use the value of x to find y

3x + 4y = 48

3 (12) + 4y = 48

36 + 4y = 48

Subtract 36 from both sides

4y = 12

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3

Solution: (12, 3)
