To be sure of getting a pair of socks of the same color, you must place yourself in the worst position.

When you take out socks without lookong (radomly), the worst scenary is that the first time you take out a sock of a color and in the second fime you take out a sock of different color. Then, the next time (the third time) you necessarily take a sock that match one of the two taken out previously, and so have a pair.

So, the answer is that you must take out three socks to be sure that you have a pair.

24. Use the intercepts to graph the equation.
romanna [79]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Finding x-intercept</u>

  • Take y = 0
  • 2x - 5(0) = 10
  • 2x = 10
  • x = 5
  • x-intercept is at (5, 0)

<u>Finding y-intercept</u>

  • Take x = 0
  • 2(0) - 5y = 10
  • -5y = 10
  • y = -2
  • y-intercept is at (0, -2)

<u>Graph (with points marked)</u>

This question is not correctly written

Complete Question

A gaming console cost $299.99. Each game that comes with the console is an additional cost of $20.00. Mr. Yao decide to by x number of games Write a variable expression for cost of the number of games Mr. Yao bought

Answer:

Variable expression for the cost of the number of games that Mr Yao bought =

$20x

Where x = number of games that he bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable expression can be defined as a mathematical expression where there is at least one (or more) unknown variable(s)that we have to look or solve for.

The unknown variable is always represented by letters of the alphabet, a, b, x, y e.t.c.

A variable expression can also be called an algebraic expression.

From the above question, we are told that:

Cost of a gaming console = $299.99

If you buy a game with the console = Additional $20.00

My Yao bought = x number of games

Variable expression for the cost of the x number of games that Mr Yao bought

$20 × x

= $20x

Where x = number of games that Mr Yao bought.
