<h3>Solution:</h3>

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Total pupils: 31
  • 4 pupils = flute only
  • 14 pupils = piano only
  • 7 pupils = neither
  • This means that {31 - (4 + 14 + 7)} pupils play both instruments.

<u>First, let's find out the number of pupils who play both instruments.</u>

  • => {31 - (4 + 14 + 7)} pupils
  • => {31 - (25)} pupils
  • => {31 - 25} pupils
  • => 6 pupils

<u>Probability form:</u><em> Student who plays both instruments/Total students</em>

  • => 6/31

The probability that this student plays both instruments is 6/31.

Answer:

probability the student plays both instruments is [  \frac{6}{31}  ]

<h2>                         <u>Explanation</u>:</h2>

students who play both instruments = total students - flute players - piano players - students who play neither instruments

students who play both instruments

→ 31 - 4 - 14 - 7

→ 6 students play both instruments.

probability:

<h2>→  \boxed{\frac{students- who -play- both- instruments}{total -students} }</h2><h2>→                     \boxed{\frac{6}{31} }</h2>

What is the solution to –2(5y – 5) – 3y ≤ –7y + 22?
Gre4nikov [31]
-2(5y - 5) - 3y < = -7y + 22
-10y + 10 - 3y < = -7y + 22
-13y + 10 < = -7y + 22
-13y + 7y < = 22 - 10
-6y < = 12
y > = -12/6
y > = -2....answer B

What is the simplified form of x minus 5 over x squared minus 3x minus 10 ⋅ x plus 2 over x squared plus x minus 12?
andrezito [222]

The correct answer is C: 1/(x + 4)(x - 5)


   Why? Well, let's first simplify x^2 - 3x - 10 and x^2 + x - 12; the two denominators. Each of these should become an (x +/- number), and to figure out the number, as well as whether it is positive or negative, we can do a simple trick

Look at the factors of the right number (In this case, -10 and -12)

-10                   -12

1  * -10            1 * -12

-1 * 10             -1 * 12

-2 * 5             -2 * 6

2 * -5              2 * -6

                      -3 * 4

                       4 * -3


Now for part 2

Which of these pairs add up to the middle number? One of the pairs of -10 should make -3, and likewise, one of the pairs of -12 should make 1 (when x has no number in front of it you may safely assume it is 1).

2 - 5 = -3 and 4 - 3 = 1, so we now know that the 2 fraction equations simplified is

x + 2 / (x + 2)(x - 5) * x - 3/(x -3)(x + 4)

Notice anything repeating? As long as they are apart of the same fraction, we can cross out anything that has the same x - number. Crossing out both x + 2 and x - 3, we now simply have x - 5 * x + 4. Because we crossed out both numerators, the top numbers both become 1, thus giving our answer, C.

How many labeled points are between points b and u ?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

It is difficult to give a specific answer without your scenario but maybe this may help you out a bit.

Let's say you have a line like the one attached:

I labelled certain points b and u so you can use it as a reference. Now all you need to do is count all the points that lie on the same line and are found between.

In this case it would be point d and point e because the rest of the points do not line on the same line. For this problem particular scenario, the answer would be 2.
