Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 3: 12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6
- Combine like terms: 8x - 14 = -6
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 8x = 8
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 1
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6
- Multiply: 3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: 3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Multiply: -3 - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: -7 + 1 = -6
- Add: -6 = -6
Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.
∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.
Answer: The probability of drawing a red marble the sixth time is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question:
A box contains 10 red marbles and 10 green marbles. Sampling at random from the box five times with replacement, you have drawn a red marble all five times. What is the probability of drawing a red marble the sixth time?
Explanation:
Since the sampling at random from the box containing the marbles is with replacement, that is, after picking a marble, it is replaced before picking another one, the probability of picking a red marble is the same for each sampling. Probability, P(A) is given by the ratio of the number of favourable outcome to the total number of favourable outcome.
From the question,
Number of favourable outcome = number of red marbles =10
Total number of favourable outcome = total number of marbles = 10+10= 20
Hence, probability of drawing a red marble P(R) = 10 ÷ 20
P(R) = 1/2
Since the probability of picking a red marble is the same for each sampling, the probability of picking a red marble the sixth time is 1/2

Answer:
Maria and Josie working together can complete the work in= 1 hour and 20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Time taken by Maria to print and laminate signs = 4 hours
Time taken by Josie to print and laminate signs = 2 hours
Solution:
Rate of work done by Maria = 
per hour
Rate of work done by Josie = 
per hour
Let them work for 
hours together.
In hours work done by Maria = 
In hours work done by Josie = 
Total work done by both = 
If they complete the work in hours, then we can write as:
Solving for
Multiplying both sides by 
∴ 
hours = 1 hour and 20 minutes [As 
of an hour =20 minutes.
So, Maria and Josie working together can complete the work in= 1 hour and 20 minutes
