Red light time = 42 seconds
Green light time = 45 seconds
Yellow light time = 5 seconds
Total Time of all lights i(Red Light time + Green light time + Yellow light time)
= 42 + 45 + 5 = 92 seconds
Probability to see Red light in a day
P(Red) = (Red light time)/(Total time of all lights) 

Probability to see Red light 5 days in a row 
P(Red) = (Red light time)^5/(Total time of all lights)^5 
P(Red) = (42)⁵/(92)⁵
P(Red) = 0.01689
Probability to see Red light 5 days in a row  = 1.689%

The time of a red light      = 42 seconds
The time of a green light  = 45 seconds
The time of a yellow light = 5 seconds
so,
    All times = 42 + 45 + 5 = 92 seconds
Then
The probability to see a red light in one day = P(red)= (The time of a red light) ÷ (all tmes)                                                            
So,     P(red) = 42/95
And
The probability to see a red light in five days = {P(red)}⁵ = (42/95)⁵
                                                                       = 0.01689
                                                                       = 1.689 %

Step-by-step explanation:

since we are using Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the baseline opposite of the 90° angle),

you want to get the expression

y² = 3² + 3²

so, you pick the ² and put it next to the y left of the "=" sign.

and to the right of the "=" sign you put 3, ², +, 3, ²

Answer:

  • (-3, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • - 9x - 5y = -18
  • 4x + 5y = 33

<u>Add up the two equations:</u>

  • -9x - 5y + 4x + 5y = -18 + 33
  • -5x = 15
  • x = -3

<u>Finding y:</u>

  • -9*(-3) - 5y = -18
  • 27 - 5y = -18
  • 5y = 27+18
  • 5y = 45
  • y = 9

Answer is: (-3, 9)

4:2= 2 logs per hour

2*9=18 logs per 9 hours.
