Can you help me solve this problem using elimination?

Mathematics

Verizon [17]2 years ago

Answer:

(5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

\left \{ {{-8x+7y=-5} \atop {-4x+8y=20}} \right.

\left \{ {{-64x+56y=-40} \atop {28x-56y=-140}} \right. <-- Multiply top by 8 and bottom by -7 so y can be cancelled out

-36x=-180

x=5

-4x+8y=20

-4(5)+8y=20

-20+8y=20

8y=40

y=5

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (5,5)

If you flip two coins 76 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times both coins will land on tails? ​
ioda

Answer:

38 times

Step-by-step explanation:

A coin has two sides, so there is a 50% chance it will land on either side (assuming perfect conditions and that the coin cannot land vertically). With that in mind, if you flip a coin 76 times, 50% or 1/2 of the times the coin should land on tails. That is 36 times. (Once again, this is under perfect testing conditions. In real life, you probably wouldn't get an even split after only 76 flips.)

Hope this helps :)

Use FOIL to explain how to find the product of (a + b)(a − b). Then describe a shortcut that you could use to get this product w
xenn [34]

Answer:

The product of (a+b)(a-b)  is a^2 - b^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL to explain how to find the product of (a + b)(a − b)

FOIL is

Multiply First terms : a*a = a^2

Multiply Outside terms : a* -b = -ab

Multiply Inner  terms : b * a= ab

Multiply last terms : b * -b = -b^2

now we combine all the terms

a^2 -ab+ab - b^2

combine like terms

a^2 - b^2

The product of (a+b)(a-b)  is a^2 - b^2

Shortcut is we apply an identity

a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

There are four more girls than boys in Ms. Raub's class of 28 students. What is the ratio of number of girls to the number of bo
FinnZ [79.3K]
So there are x girls and x-4 boys and together they make 28:

x+x-4=28
2x-4=28
2x=32
x=16

so there are 16 girls and 12 boys.

the ratio is then 16:12, or we can simplify (by dividing both sides by 4): 4:3

so the best answer is 4:3.
