Answer:

7 / 30

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a selection without replacement probability :

Total boxes = 16

With money = 3

With traveling prices = 5

Empty = 8

P(choosing 2 empty boxes) :

P(empty) * P(empty)

P(empty) = Number of empty boxes / total number of boxes

First pick = empty

P(empty) = 8 / 16 = 1/2

Without replacement :

Second pick = empty

P(empty) = 7 / 15

P(choosing 2 empty boxes) = 1/2 * 7/15 = 7 /30

←<br><br> How many solutions does this linear system have<br> y =<br> x+2<br> 6x - 4y = -10
defon

Answer:

This linear system has one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

First equation: y = x + 2

Second equation: 6x - 4y = -10

Let's change the second equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

<u>Slope-intercept form</u>

y = mx + b

m ... slope

b ... y-intercept

6x - 4y = -10

6x + 10 = 4y

\frac{6}{4}x + \frac{10}{4} = y

\frac{3}{2}x + \frac{5}{2} = y

If two lines have the <em>same slope </em>but <em>different y-intercept</em>, they are parallel - <u>system has no solutions</u>.

If two lines have the <em>same slope</em> and the <em>same y-intercept</em>, they are the same line and are intersecting in infinite many points - <u>system has infinite many solutions</u>.

If two lines have <em>different slopes</em> then they intersect in one point - <u>system has one solution</u>.

We see that lines have different slopes. First line has slope 1 and the other line has slope \frac{3}{2}. So the system has one solution.

You can also check this by solving the system.

Substitute y in second equation with y from first.

6x - 4y = -10

6x - 4(x + 2) = -10

Solve for x.

6x - 4x - 8 = -10

2x = -2

x = -1

y = x + 2

y = -1 + 2

y = 1

The lines intersect in point (-1, 1). <-- one solution
