Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be \dfrac{7}{10}

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

In this problem:

  • In total, there are 8 + n sweets in the bag.
  • Of those, n are red.

The probability of red is:

p=\dfrac{n}{n+8}

Supposing, we solve for n:

\dfrac{n}{n+8} = \dfrac{7}{10}

10n = 7n + 56

3n = 56

n  =  56 / 3

n  =  18.67

Since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be 7 / 10

The sum of two numbers is eighteen. The total of three times the smaller and twice the larger is forty-four. Find the two number
sashaice [31]

Answer:

  • The numbers are 8 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

The sum of two numbers is eighteen:

  • x + y = 18

The total of three times the smaller and twice the larger is forty-four:

  • 3x + 2y = 44

Solve the system by substitution:

  • x = 18 - y

Substitute x and solve for y:

  • 3(18 - y) + 2y = 44
  • 54- 3y + 2y = 44
  • 54 - y = 44
  • y = 54 - 44
  • y = 10

Find x:

  • x = 18 - 10
  • x = 8
