Probability that the first 2 of the friends to show up to the movie are friends he has known since kindergarten but the third not is 1/10

Total friends = 10

Friends from kindergarten = 4

Probability is the chance that a given event will occur. Probability of an event lies within 0 to 1

P(E) = Favourable outcomes / Total outcomes

Probability of getting 1st friend from kindergarten = 4/10

Probability of getting 2nd friend from kindergarten = 3/9

Probability of getting 3rd friend not from kindergarten = 6/8

Since all these probabilities are independent, We can use Multiplicative identity. Thus,

Required probability is 4/10 * 3/9 * 6/8

= 1/10

Thus, Probability that the first 2 of the friends to show up to the movie are friends he has known since kindergarten but the third not is 1/10

What is the difference of the two expressions?

valkas [14]

<em>Answer is x + 12</em>

<em />

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! Recall that you have to write clear questions in order to get exact answers. So I'll help you assuming that the two expressions are the following:

First expression:

$2x+9$

Second expression:

$x-3$

So the operation we need to perform is:

$2x+9-(x-3)$

Recall some rules:

$(+)\times (+)=+ \\ \\ (-)\times (-)=+ \\ \\ (-)\times (+)=- \\ \\ (+)\times (-)=-$

Hence:

$2x+9-(x-3)=2x+9-x+3 \\ \\ \\ Combine \ like \ terms: \\ \\ (2x-x)+(9+3) \\ \\ \boxed{x+12}$
