Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write down the equations so we can have a vision of the equations.

3x - 6y = -12

x - 2y = -8

Now we find the simpler equation, and we make it to where one of the variables is on one side.

Let's use the bottom equation.

x = 2y - 8

Now we plug in the equation to the other equation.

3(2y - 8) - 6y = -12

6y - 24 - 6y = -12

-24 = -12

0 = 12

This is a false statement. 0 does not equal 12. That means that the equation has no solutions.

No of people not from their neighborhood=25-20=5
total contact s=25
therefore probability to call a person not from his neighborhood=5/25=1/5
therefore P=1/5

The equation cos−1 = x can be used to determine the measure of angle BAC.

Sergio [31]

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

the value of cosine of angle x is equal to

$cos(x)=\frac{AC}{AB}$

we have

$AC=3.4\ cm\\AB=10\ cm$

substitute the values

$cos(x)=\frac{3.4}{10}=0.34$

Find the measure of angle x

$x=cos(x)^{-1} =arc\ cos(0.34)=70.12\°$

Round to the nearest whole degree

$x=70\°$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$70\°$

What is the length of BD?

Ket [755]

Answer: BD = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

ABQ and CDQ are congruent triangles. That means their angle measures are the same but their lengths may be proportional.

19.2 / 32 = 0.6

15 * 0.6 = 9

So the length of side BD is 9 units.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

P(X > 10), n = 15, p = 0.7

P(X > 10) =P(10 < X ≤ 15) = P(11 ≤ X ≤ 15) = P(X = 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

=P(X = 11) + P(X =12) + P(X = 13) + P(X =14) + P(X = 15) (because these are disjoint events)
