<u>Answer</u>:
x = 7, y = 2
<u>Explanation</u>:
equations given:
x + 7y = 21
x + 4y = 15
make "x" the subject:
x + 7y = 21
x = 21 - 7y .........equation 1
x + 4y = 15
x = 15 - 4y .......equation 2
Solving both the equations simultaneously:
15 - 4y = 21 - 7y
-4y + 7y = 21 - 15
3y = 6
y = 6 ÷ 3
y = 2
If y is 2
Then x = 21 -7y;
x = 21 - 7(2)
x = 21 - 14
x = 7

Answer:A) 1.5
Step-by-step explanation: Bob runs at the rate of 8mins per mile
In 60mins his rate would be=60/8=7.5
Let a be the distance he further runs south
2s+3.25
Total distance covered in 50mins=Time=distance/speed=
50/60
50/60=2s +3.25/7.5
Cross multiply
60(2s+3.25)=50×7.5
120s+195=375
120s=375-195
S=180/120
S=1.5
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) the sample space is 1 through 6
2) numbers less than 4 on the number cube 1, 2, and 3 3#s
total amount of #s is 6
probability = numbers less than 4/total amount of #s:
3/6
1/2
