Answer:

a= -12 and b=36

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=24 and 3a+b

a-3a+b=24

-2a+b-b=24

-2a/-2=24/-2

a= -12

then substitute the value of a in a+b=24 to get the value of b

so let see -12+b=24

b=24+12

b=36

we can check it by the equation -2a+b-b=24

-2(-12)+36-36=24

24=24 so as you have seen the answer is correct

thanks!!!

If a coin is flipped 10 times, what is the probability that it will show all heads or all tails? A 1/2 B 1/512 C 1/1022 D 1/1024
Ksju [112]

The probability of multiple events happening is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event together. This is the case if each event is independent of the other events.

For a fair coin, the probability of tails is 1/ 2 or 0.5, so the probability of all tails in 10 tosess is (1/2)^10 = 1/1024 = 0.0009765625

Correct answer: D
