-1/3x-4/3y=-2 1/3x-2/3y=4 using elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]2 years ago
5 0

-1/3x-4/3y=2

1/3x-2/3y=4

First realize that the coefficient of x is -1/3 and 1/3 which can be eliminated with addition

Adding the two equations together gets

-6/3y=6

Simplify

-2y=6

y=-3

Substitute back into original equation

1/3x-2/3(-3)=4

1/3x+2=4

1/3x=2

x=6

Answer

x=6, y=-3

Check answer

-1/3(6)-4/3(-3) =?= 2

                -2+4=2

                     2=2

Done!

What number should be added to 7/12 to get 4/15?​
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x.

We are trying to find out what number (x) we would need to add to 7/12 to get 4/15

\frac{7}{12}  + x = \frac{4}{15}

Subtract 7/12 from both sides.

x = \frac{4}{15}  - \frac{7}{12}

We need to make the denominators of the fractions the same.

\frac{4}{15}  = \frac{16}{60}

\frac{7}{12}  = \frac{35}{60}

So,

x = \frac{16}{60}  - \frac{35}{60}  = -  \frac{19}{60}

A group of n people enter an elevator in a building with k floors. Each person independently selects a floor uniformly at random
____ [38]

Answer:

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(X)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are n peoples and k floors in a building.

Selects floor with 1/k probability .

To find :

Elevator stop at each floor by at least one person.

Solution:

Now

let K= number of floor at which at least one person will be stopping.

For getting E(X)

consider a variable Ak =1 if a least one person get of the elevator

and values for k=1,2,3.....k

K=(summation From k=1 to k)Ak

E(K)=((summation From k=1 to k) E[Ak]

=(summation From k=1 to k)[1-{(k-1/k)^n

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(K)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]
