Number of red marbles in bag = r.  b = 10-rProbability of first marble being red: r/10Second marble being red: (r-1)/9total probability = 2/15 = (r-1)*r/90r = 4b = 6

Answer:

The answer is option D = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of red marbles be = r

Let the number of blue marbles be = 10-r

But as information about red marbles is given, so solving with respect to red (r)

\frac{r}{10}*\frac{r-1}{9} =\frac{2}{15}

Solving this we get:

r^{2}-r-12=0

r^{2}-4r+3r-12=0

r(r-4)+3(r-4)=0

This gives (r-4)=0 and (r+3)=0

r cannot be negative, so r = 4

Red marbles are = 4

Blue marbles are = 10-4 = 6

Hence, there are 6 blue marbles in the bag.

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply the top and bottom of the fraction (2/5) by 30 so the denominator will be 150. You also have to multiply the top by 30 (2 times 30). The answer is 60 will be rainbow colored!

2 x 30 = 60

5 x 30 = 150

Which of the following equations could represent the points in the table? Select all that apply.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Options (A) and (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation represented by the table is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

where m = slope of the line

(x', y') are the coordinates of a point passing through the line.

Since, slope of the line 'm' = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let the two points given in the table are (0, 11) and (1, 5)

Therefore, slope 'm' = \frac{11-5}{0-1} = -6

Now equation of the line passing through (0, 11) will be,

y - 11 = -6(x - 0)

Equation of the line passing through (1, 5) and slope (-6) will be,

y - 5 = -6(x - 1)

Equation of the line passing through (2, -1) and slope (-6) will be,

y + 1 = -6(x - 2)

Equation of the line passing through (3, -7) and slope (-6) will be,

y + 7 = -6(x - 3)

Therefore, equations given in Options (A) and (C) will be the answer.
