The answer is 12/5 or 2.4
Suppose the spinner lands on <em>a</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>a</em> the second time.
Suppose the spinner lands on <em>b</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>b</em> the second time.
Suppose the spinner lands on <em>c</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>c</em> the second time.
We've covered all possibilities for the first spin, and they're all equal, so their average is 1/3.
The probability that it'll land on the same letter twice is 33.3%.
Answer:
x = -2, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 5
5x - 2y = -16
In order to find the value of a variable, we must eliminate the other variable by multiplying the equations to get the same coefficient.
We can multiply the first equation by 5 and the second one by 2 to get the same coefficient for x, the equations then become:
10x + 15y = 25
10x - 4y = -32
Now we can subtract:
19y = 57
y = 3
Since we know the value of y, we can substitute it into one of the original equations:
2x + 3(3) = 5
2x + 9 = 5
2x = -4
x = -2
C/5=-8
C=-40 hope this helps
