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 :)

25-3x-2-4x+5 has how many coefficients and how many expressions
adoni [48]

Answer:

This expression has 2 coefficients, (-3 and -4), because any number with a variable is a coefficient. That means 25, -2, and 5 are all constants, because they don't have variables.

Variables are the x's in this case.

I hope this answers your question :) Also if you like, can you mark me brainliest, please? It would really mean a lot to me :)
