Answer:

x = 4 , y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 14 → (1)

x + y = 5 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

- 2x - 2y = - 10 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into (2) and evaluate for y

4 + y = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 1

A gumball machine has different flavors sour apple,grape,orange and cherry . There are six of each flavor. $.50 are put in the m

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

30/552

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem you need to multiply the probability of getting grape for the first gumball with the probability of getting grape for the second gumball. Since there are 6 grape gumballs and a total of 24 gumballs (6*4). Then the probability of getting grape for the firs one is

$\frac{6}{24}$

Now there are only 5 grape gumballs available and one less in the total supply, therefore the probability of getting grape in the second try is

$\frac{5}{23}$

Finally we multiply them together to find the probability of getting two grapes in a row.

$\frac{6*5}{24*23}$ = $\frac{30}{552}$

kvv77 [185]

The height of the fence is irrelevant. The bottom of the ladder is 3+8 = 11 feet from the building. The window is 14ft above the ground:
sqrt(14^2+11^2) = length of your ladder.
