A bag contains only apple and oranges. The probability an apple is picked randomly is 1 in 5. The apple is returned, and five more apples are added to the bag. The probability of an apple being picked is now 1in 3. How many apples were there originally?

2 simultaneous unknown equations. Let x be the number of apples originally, and n the number of fruits in the bag in total originally. i) first scenario, where probability is 1/5, x/n = 1/5    5x= n  ii) ...

differentiate with respect to x : y = x^2 -5x

to find dy/dx, multiply each item by the power of the x, and then decrease the power of the x by 1.Step 1 : 2x^2 -15x (multiplying by power of x)Step 2 : 2x^1 -15x^0Therefore:dy/dx = 2x ...

solve this simultaneous equation: 2x + 3y = 19 (Eq1) and 3x + y = 11 (Eq2)

Begin by multiplying the second equation by three in order to get a 3y value: 9x + 3y = 33. We can now subtract equation one from equation two, 9x + 3y = 33 and 2x + 3y = 19 -->7x + 0y = 14. Resulting ...
