I wished I knew how to do this I’m sorry I thought it was something different
Answer:
2.86%
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming there is no replacement
There is a total of 6 envelopes
Since the question is asking for red, then green, then red, order is very important
The probability of a red is 3/7
Since we have selected 1 envelope, there are only 6 total envelopes left so the probability of a green is 1/6
Then we need a red again
Since we have selected 2 envelopes, one of which is red, there are only 5 total envelopes and 2 red envelopes so the probability of a red is 2/5
Now we multiply all of these so 3/7x1/6x2/5 = .02857142857
To find the percentage, you multiply by 100 so 2.857142857
Im pretty sure they want you to estimate it so 2.86% is what I would put but it depends on your teacher
Answer:
He made a mistake in the second line.
Step-by-step explanation:
He factored out x out of 6-2x and 5+4x, which is not possible because there is not an x in both 6 and 5.
The slope would be calculated as m = (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1)
So plugging in it would be m = (10- (-4))/(6-2) = 3.5
Then plugging into point slope form which is y - y1 = m(x - x1)
You would get y - 10 = 3.5(x-6) which simplifies is
Y = 3.5x -11
Assume Alan's brother has x coins before Alan gave him 48 coins
x+48=1.4x (increased by 40%)
0.4x=48
x=120
120+140=260
answer is 260 coins
