Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 less than a number <em>n</em> is less than 17. This verbal expression can be represented as a mathematical expression.

First, we observe that it says "9 less than", this is expressed like 9<, but less than who? it says "less than <em>n"</em>, so it would be 9<n.

In second place, the expression continues, <em>n </em>is less than 17, which is expressed like n<17.

At last, we unite both parts, and we have:

9<n<17.

3s+2t−3 =c<br> −7s−5t =4<br>

irinina [24]

Answer:

−4

s−t+

−4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for c.

3s+2t−3c−7s−5t=4

Step 1: Add 4s to both sides.

−3c−4s−3t+4s=4+4s

−3c−3t=4s+4

Step 2: Add 3t to both sides.

−3c−3t+3t=4s+4+3t

−3c=4s+3t+4

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3c

A bag had 7 orange rocks , 6 green rock , 1 white rock ,7 black rocks , and 2 yellow you randomly pull a rock from the bag ,keep

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{7}{253}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Orange = 7$

$Green = 6$

$White = 1$

$Black = 7$

$Yellow = 2$

Required

Probability of selecting a yellow then orange rock

From the question, we understand that the probability is that of without replacement.

Since the yellow, is first picked.

We need to determine the probability of picking a yellow rock, first.

$P(Yellow) = \frac{n(Yellow)}{Total}$

$P(Yellow) = \frac{2}{7 + 6 + 1 + 7 + 2}$

$P(Yellow) = \frac{2}{23}$

The rock has reduced by 1;

Next is to determine the probability of picking an orange rock

$P(Orange) = \frac{n(Orange)}{Total - 1}$

$P(Orange) = \frac{7}{7 + 6 + 1 + 7 + 2- 1}$

$P(Orange) = \frac{7}{22}$

The required probability is calculated as thus:

$Probability = P(Yellow) * P(Orange)$

$Probability = \frac{2}{23} * \frac{7}{22}$

$Probability = \frac{14}{506}$

$Probability = \frac{7}{253}$

Expand and simplify (x+5)(x-2)

salantis [7]

Answer:

${x}^{2} - x - 12 = (x + 3)(x - 4)$

${x}^{2} + 3x + 2 = (x + 2)(x + 1)$

${x}^{2} + 3x - 10 = (x + 5)(x - 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

F [First terms] - Multiply the first terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

O [Outside terms] - Multiply the first term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT by the last term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

I [Inside terms] - Multiply the last term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT by the first term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

L [Last terms] - Multiply the last terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

${x}^{2} - x - 12 = {x}^{2} - 4x + 3x - 12$
