Let's solve this by substitution.


y is given by the 2nd eqn as y = (1/3)x + 7. Subst. (1/3)x + 7 into the first eqn as a replacement for y: x + 9( (1/3)x + 7) = 3.


clear out fractions by mult. all 3 terms by 3: 3x + 9x + 63 = 3


Combine like terms: 12x = -60. Then x = -5


Find y by subst. -5 for x in the 2nd equation: y = (1/3)(-5) + 7

= -5/3 + 35/3 = 30/3 = 10.


Thus, the solution (x,y) of this system is (-5,10).

After a party, Brendan had left over pizza. Brendan had one half of a cheese pizza, 3/4 of a sausage pizza, and 2/6 of a peppero
muminat

3/4+2/6+1/2 = 9/12+4/12+6/12 = 19/12 Brendan has 1 7/12 leftover pizzas. THis is achieved by multiplying for a common denominator and adding

19/12-2/3 = 19/12-8/12 = 11/12 Brendan has 11/12 more pizzas than Steve.

Your office parking lot has a probability of being occupied of 1/3. You happen to find it unoccupied for nine consecutive days.
olasank [31]

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that represents the number of consecutive days in which the parking lot is occupied before it is unoccupied. Then the variable X is a geometric random variable with probability of success p = 2/3, with probability function f (x) = [(2/3)^x] (1/3)

Then the probability of finding him unoccupied after the nine days he has been found unoccupied is:

P (X> = 10 | X> = 9) = P (X> = 10) / P (X> = 9). For a geometric aeatory variable:

P (X> = 10) = 1 - P (X <10) = 0.00002

P (X> = 9) = 1 - P (X <9) = 0.00005

Thus, P (X> = 10 | X> = 9) = P (X> = 10) / P (X> = 9) = 0.00002 / 0.00005 = 0.4.

A rectangular pool is 6 meters wide and 8 meters long. If you swim diagonally across the pool, how many meters would you be swim
Vitek1552 [10]

If you swim diagonally across the rectangular pool, the distance you swim is 10 meters.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Width of rectangle = 6 meters
  • Length of rectangle = 8 meters

To determine the distance you swim in meters, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem since the width is along the x-axis while the length is along the y-axis.

Note: The diagonal side of the rectangular pool represents the hypotenuse.

Mathematically, Pythagorean's theorem is given by the formula:

Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Hypotenuse^2 = 6^2 + 8^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2 = 36+64\\\\Hypotenuse^2 = 100\\\\Hypotenuse = \sqrt{100}

Hypotenuse = 10 meters.
