Answer:

a = 16

b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 2b = 4

2a + b = 26

2a + 4b = 8

2a + b = 26

3b = -18

b = -6

a + 2(-6) = 4

a - 12 = 4

a = 16

Ronald spins a spinner that has 10 sections numbered from 1 to 10. What is the probability that the spinner lands on a prime num

vladimir1956 [14]

Prime number is a whole number that has no possible divisors that 1 and itself. Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5.7.11,13,17,19,23 and 29. From 1 to 10 there are 3 prime numbers: 3,5 and 7.
The probability can be calculated as the ratio between the number of "good" events and the total number of possible events. There are three "good" events (3,5 or 7) and 10 total events, so the probability that the spinner lands on a prime number is: 3/10. So, none of the given options is true.

Can a triangle be formed with the sides lengths of 7 cm, 5 cm and 12 cm?

laiz [17]

Answer:

NO because 7+5=12

The sum must be larger (not equal to) the longest side. If it's exactly the same, there's no room to for the shorter two sides to angle up to form a triangle.
