Judging on the question I realized to find the probability of finding a white paperclip would be a fraction.
The numerator of the fraction should be (9) white paperclips. The denominator of the fraction should be (20) the TOTAL amount of paperclips (white+green+red).
The fraction should be 9/20. or 45%

10 + 2(7 - 9x) = 5(2x - 12)<br><br><br>Full steps as well please
blagie [28]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

10 + 2(7 - 9x) = 5(2x - 12)

10 + 14 - 18x = 10x - 60

24 - 18x = 10x - 60

+60                 +60

-------------------------------------

84 - 18x = 10x

     +18x    +18x

-------------------------------------

84 = 28x

/28    /28

--------------------------------------

3 = x

Find the point on the line 2x+4y−3=0 which is closest to the point (2,0)
Finger [1]
L1: 2x+4y-3=0 ..........(1)
P: (2,0)
The point on the line L1 closest to the given point P is at the intersection of L1 with L2, which is the perpendicular passing through P. 

Slope of L1=-2/4=-1/2
Slope of L2=-1/(-1/2)=2
Since it passes throug P(2,0), we can use the point-slope formula:
(y-0)=2(x-2)  =>
L2: 2x-y-4=0.............(2)

Solve for x & y using (1) and (2) to get intersection point required:
(1)-(2)
2x-2x + 4y-(-y) -3 -(-4) =0
5y=-1, y=-1/5
Substitute y=1/5 in equation (1)
2x+4(-1/5)-3=0 =>
2x-19/5=0
x=19/10

=> the point on L1 closest to (2,0) is (19/10, -1/5)

A standard showerhead in Nathan's house dispenses 11 gallons of water per minute. Nathan changed this showerhead to an energy-sa
Fynjy0 [20]
The new shower head dispenses 3 gallons of water per minute, as shown in the equation y = 3x.

So, 3 x 8 = 24.

Then, to find out how much he saves each day, you would find how much he used before,

11 x 8 = 88

Next we want to see how much Nathan saved, so we subtract the total,

88 - 24 = 64

Nathan saved 64 gallons.
