3. A drawer contains several loose socks, each sock is only blue or black. You have to grab

<h3>Answer:  3 socks</h3>

Reason:

You could get lucky to pull out 2 blue socks or 2 black socks in a row. But you could also get unlucky to have 1 blue + 1 black, or the other way around.

That third sock selected will guarantee you picked at least 2 of the same color. This is simply because there aren't any other colors left to pick from.

Which of the following equations has no solution?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

B. 3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

Explanation:

3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

3x+5+−4x=−x+−8

(3x+−4x)+(5)=−x−8

−x+5=−x−8

−x+5=−x−8

Step 2: Add x to both sides.

−x+5+x=−x−8+x

5=−8

Step 3: Subtract 5 from both sides.

5−5=−8−5

0=−13

So, there is no solution

Hope this Helps!

What is the best way to convert metric units (I'm really bad at this...)
Vladimir [108]
Necesitas reconocer los múltiplos u submúltiplos del sistema métrico decimal si son lineales por cada nivel que avanzas multiplicas o divides con el 10
siempre y cuando la unidad de medida es el metro ese queda al centro.
Km Hm Dam m dm cm mm yo los ubico en escalera el metro queda al centro y de cualquier lugar que te posicionas,buscas a donde quieres convertir y revisas si vas a la derecha multiplicas por 10 o si vas a la izquierda divides entre 10 siempre y cuando sea un lugar a donde te vas a mover si son dos lugares es con el 100 por que 10x10 es 100 y si son tres lugares es con el 1000 porque es 10x10x10.
ejemplo 2000m convertirlos a Hm= 20 Hm dividí 2000 entre 100 porque me moví 2 lugares a la izquierda  otro ejem. 100 Dam convertirlos a cm=100000 porque 100x 1000 por que avance 3 lugares a la derecha

Write a formula that will yield the nth term of the sequence: 3,-2,-7,-12
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

-5n + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. What is the difference?</u>

  The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.

<u>2. Work out the term before the first term.</u>

    The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.

3 + 5 = 8   Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)

<u>3. Put that term at the end of the equation. </u>

   We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.

-5n + 8  This is our answer!

Just to prove it works:

<em>Substitute:   n = term</em>

Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)

-5(3) + 8

-15 + 8 = -7

See, it works!
