We have been given that a bag of uninflated balloons contains 10 red, 12 blue, 15 yellow and 8 green balloons.
We need to find the probability of drawing a red balloon.
We know that probability is given by
Since we know that there are 10 red balloons. Therefore, our number of favorable outcomes is 10.
In order to find the total number of outcomes, we will add balloons of all colors.
Therefore, total outcomes are =
We can now substitute the values of favorable outcomes and total outcomes in order to find the required probability.
First, we will use the distributive property (order of operations) to simplify the equation:
(4)(5) + (4)(−8(4c−3)) = (12)(1) + (12)(−13c)+ (−8) =
20 + (−128c) + 96 = 12 + (−156c)+ (−8)
Now, we will combine like terms to simplify the equation:
(−128c) + (20 + 96) = (−156c) + (12+ (−8) =
−128c + 116 = −156c + 4
Now we will add 156 to both sides, using inverse operations.
−128c + 116 + 156c = −156c + 4 + 156c =
28c + 116 = 4
Now we will subtract 116 from both sides:
28c + 116 − 116 = 4 − 116 =
28c = −112
Lastly, we will divide both sides by 28:
28c/28 = c
-112/28 = -4
The equation now looks like:
c = -4
Therefore, your answer is -4.
