Answer: 5

Step-by-step explaination: How you should be viewing this question is -1(-5) or -1 times -5. And -1 times -5 = 5 because a negative times a negative is positive, and any number times 1 will equal that number so the answer is 5.

2. Find the bigger solution of the equation x2 - 11x = 0.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

$x\text{ = 11}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the bigger solution

We can start by factoring x as follows:

$\begin{gathered} x(x-11_)\text{ = 0} \\ x\text{ = 0 or x-11 = 0} \\ x\text{ = 0 or x = 11} \end{gathered}$

The bigger solution is x= 11

An animal shelter spends $3.50 per day to care for each bird and $6.50 per day to care for each cat. Brooklyn noticed that the s

Vikki [24]

Solution: Let $x$ be the number of birds and $y$ be the number of cats.

$x+y=29 \implies y=29-x$

$3.50 x +6.50 y= 146.50$

$3.50 x+6.50(29-x)=146.50$

$3.50x+188.5-6.5x=146.50$

$3x=188.5-146.50$

$3x=42$

$x=\frac{42}{3} =14$

Therefore, there were 14 birds at the shelter on Friday

Find the probability of rolling a sum of 6 with two dice?

34kurt

Answer: 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 ways to do this

Get a 1 and a 5

Get a 2 and a 4

Or get two 3's.

There are two ways to get a 1 and a 5

1 first and 5 second or

5 first and 1 second

The same goes for the 2 and the 4, but NOT for the two 3s.

We have 5 ways to get a sum of 6

What is the probability of one of them happening?

1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36

1/36 chance of one occuring

1/36 x 5 = 5/36 chance of getting a sum of 6 (as there are 5 ways to do so)
