<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a = 
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26

b = 22</span>

Answer:

The required probability is 4/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for the experiment is: { BB, BR, RB, RR }

The outcome of the event we require is: { BR, RB }

The probabilities for each outcome is given as:

BB: 3/7 x 2/6 = 1/7

BR: 3/7 x 4/6 = 2/7

RB: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

RR: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

Adding the probabilities we have:

{ BR, RB} = 2/7 + 2/7 = 4/7

That's it!

Answer:

The value of x is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that perimeter is found when all sides are added together. So we can assume that all side lengths add together will give you 134 imches :

x + 2x + 5 + 6x - 17 + 3x + 2 = 134

12x - 10 = 134

12x = 134 + 10

12x = 144

x = 144 \div 12

x = 12
