Answer:
y = -5 and x = -17
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve these two equations,
x = 3y - 2
x = 5y + 8
We can see that they both equal x so we want make them equal to each other so,
→ 3y - 2 = 5y + 8
⇒ Subtract 5y from both sides to collect the 'y' terms
→ -2y - 2 = 8
⇒ Add 2 both sides to collect the numerical terms
→ -2y = 10
⇒ Divide both sides by -2 to isolate y
→ y = -5
Now that we have found the value of y we can substitute this value into one of the 2 equations we have to find the value of x
⇒ We know that y = -5 so lets substitute that into x = 3y - 2
→ x = 3 × -5 - 2
⇒ Simplify
→ x = -15 - 2
⇒ Simplify further
→ x = - 17
The first statement is correct. The two events are independent because Roger winning does not affect Stephan's chances. The probability that both events occur is found by multiplying the probabilities together.
Answer:
148 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4 x 5) = 40
2(4 x 6) = 48
2(5 x 6) = 60
G is Grant
e is Ethan
g=17
e= 17-4 = 13
17+13= 30 fishes
