-2x+9y=41.... equation 1

-2x-5y=1 ....equation 2

________________

14y=43

y=43/14

y=43/14 in equation 1

-2x+9(43/14)=41

-2x+387/14=41

-2x=41-387/14

-2x=187/14

x=187/-28

x=187/28 , y=43/14

if you want to check your answer

-2(187/28)+9(43/14)=41

___________________

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = (2*4)/(3*4)=8/12

3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3)=9/12

Since 9/12>8/12 then 3/4>2/3

40% of Oatypop cereal boxes contain a prize. Hannah plans to keep buying cereal until she gets a prize. What is the probability

aleksley [76]

Answer:

$(0.6)^{n}+n(0.4)(0.6)^{n-1}+\frac{n(n-1)(0.4)^{2}0.6^{n-2}}{2} +\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)0.4^{3}0.6^{n-3}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the binomial distribution. Let X be the random variable representing the no. of boxes Hannah buys before betting a prize.

Our success is winning the prize, p =40/100 = 0.4

Then failure q = 1-0.4 = 0.6

Hannah keeps buying cereal boxes until she gets a prize. Then n be no. times she buys the boxes.

P(X ≤ 3) = P(X=0) +P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)

= $\binom{n}{0}p^{0}q^{n-0}$ + $\binom{n}{1}p^{1}q^{n-1}$ + $\binom{n}{2}p^{2}q^{n-2}$ + $\binom{n}{3}p^{3}q^{n-3}$

= $q^{n}+npq^{n-1}$ + $\frac{n(n-1)(p)^{2}q^{n-2}}{2}$ + $\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)p^{3}q^{n-3}}{6}$

= $(0.6)^{n}+n(0.4)(0.6)^{n-1}+[tex]\frac{n(n-1)(0.4)^{2}0.6^{n-2}}{2} +\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)0.4^{3}0.6^{n-3}}{6}$

A motorboat travels 9 miles downstream (with the current) in 30 minutes. The return trip upstream (against the current) takes 90

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

When moving with the current, the speeds of the boat and current will add up. The first situation can then be represented by:

9 = 0.5(x + y)

While opposing the current, the speeds will be subtracted. Forming:

9 = 1.5(x - y)

The second option contains this equation system, so it is correct.

What number must you add to complete the square x^2+x A. 1/2 B. 2 C. 1/4 D. 1

Irina-Kira [14]

for $ax^2+bx+c$

when a=1, then the value of c that will make the quadratic a perfect square (allows you to complete the square) is $(\frac{b}{2})^2$

given x^2+x

b=1

so $c=(\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{1}{4}$

answer is C
