In the drawer you have a total of 4 socks: the one you already have, two of a different color and one of the same color of the first sock. If the first two socks you draw are of a different color, the third one will surely be of the color of the first sock.

There are two different colors of socks, so in the worst case scenario you can draw two different socks. Therefore you need to draw one more sock of any color to have a matching pair.

2+1=3 :)

7 tenths times 10 is another problem that i need help on
Elza [17]
Hi there!

7 tenths times 10 is pretty easy and can be done on a calculator.
7 tenths is 0.7 in standard form.

0.7 × 10 = 7

Because if you think about it...
Tenths is like being dropped down by ten... then you multiply by ten which brings it back up to whole number seven. It may not make sense but that's what it is.

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form form
Tamiku [17]
Those points you can see on the graph.
The first one refers to the x value and the second, to y value. If you notice, when you have x = 0, y = 3. When x = -5, y = 0.

When the line intercepts one of the axis, means the other coordinate is = 0.
3 is y intercept, it means the x value of that point is 0. The same happens to the x intercept - 5. It means the y value of that point is 0.

A ( -5 | 0 )
B ( 0 | 3 )

m = Delta y / Delta x.
Delta y is the variation over the x-axis. Delta x, the x axis.
