Answer: The answer is (B) 2x + 3(3x – 5) = 51
.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given three options and we are to select which choice shows the result of substituting 3x – 5 into the second equation for y.
So, y = 3x - 5.
Since the standard form of a linear equation i two variables is ax + by = c, so the second equation as given in the options must be of the form 2x + 3y = 51.
If we substitute y = 3x - 5, then this equation becomes
2x + 3(3x - 5) = 51.
Thus, (B) 2x + 3(3x – 5) = 51 is the correct option.
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 9)(x + 12) = 0
Expanding the brackets, we get:
Since there are two black queens out of 52 cards, there is a 2/52 chance of drawing a black queen first. This is equivalent to a 1/26 chance.
Now that we have removed a black queen, there are 51 cards left in the deck. 26 of them are red because we only took away a black card. This means that there is a 26/51 of drawing a red card next.
In order to find the probability of both of these happening, we multiply the two together. 1/26 * 26/51 = 26/1326. This reduces to 1/51. So, there is a 1/51 chance of drawing a black queen, then a red card.
