Since both the expressions in x are equal to y then they are equal to each other, so
-2x + 3 = 13x - 4
-15x + 3 = -4
-15x = -7
x = 7/15
and y = -2(7/15) + 3 = 31/15 = 2 1/15
Answer:
812
Step-by-step explanation:
add the units mL's together
There are 6 pockets all together. You checked two of them and it wasn't
there. So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.
The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.
The probability of success on the next one is <em>1/4 = 25% .</em>
=======================================================
Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:
Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10 = 16.
Total number of pockets = 6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10 = -2.
Second partial sum = 6 - 2 = 4.
Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16 = <em>25% </em>.
