Answer:

Simplifying

6x + -3 = 21 + -2x

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 6x = 21 + -2x

Solving

-3 + 6x = 21 + -2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2x' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 6x + 2x = 21 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: 6x + 2x = 8x

-3 + 8x = 21 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0

-3 + 8x = 21 + 0

-3 + 8x = 21

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 8x = 21 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 8x = 21 + 3

8x = 21 + 3

Combine like terms: 21 + 3 = 24

8x = 24

Divide each side by '8'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

Answer:x=3

Step-by-step explanation:first add 2x to both sides to get all the x's together

6x - 3 + 2x = 21

then add three to both sides to get the x's alone

6x + 2x = 21 + 3

simplify both sides of the equation

8x = 24

divide both sides by 8 to get x by itself

24/8 = 3

You have been given the task of transporting 3,000 apples 1,000 miles from Appleland to Bananaville. Your truck can carry 1,000

chubhunter [2.5K]

If the truck can carry 1000 apples at a time, Bananaville is 1000 miles away from Appleland and you pay one apple per mile, then it's impossible to deliver any apple to Bananaville, because on 1000 miles you'll pay 1 apple * 1000 miles = 1000 apples as a tax. So no matter if you go once, twice, three times or a hundred times there - you'll be never able to deliver any apple.

Answer: The highest number of apples you can get to Bananaville is 0.

Jerome is going to draw a marble from the bag shown below, replace it, and then draw another marble. What is the probability tha

alexira [117]

Marbles in a bag: 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue, 8 pink.

Event A - get a green or yellow marble
Event B - get a pink marble

Events A and B are independent because we draw a marble from a bag with 20 marbles in both cases.
$P(A)= \frac{3+4}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{7}{20} 
\\P(B)= \frac{8}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}$

Probability of combined events is
$P(A) \times P(B)=\frac{7}{20} \times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{7}{50}$
