<span>9a + -3(2a + -4) = 15
Reorder the terms:
9a + -3(-4 + 2a) = 15
9a + (-4 * -3 + 2a * -3) = 15
9a + (12 + -6a) = 15
Reorder the terms:
12 + 9a + -6a = 15
Combine like terms: 9a + -6a = 3a
12 + 3a = 15
Solving
12 + 3a = 15
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 3a = 15 + -12
3a = 15 + -12
Combine like terms: 15 + -12 = 3
3a = 3
Divide each side by '3'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1</span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of drawing a red card is 1/2, since half of the cards in a deck are red. The probability of drawing an ace from a deck is 1/13, since there is an equal chance to pick any of the 13 numbers.
P(red card and ace)= P(red card)*P(ace)=1/2 * 1/13=1/26
N = number of seeds planted
P = probability of germination
K = number that germinated
Using probability calculation:
p(x = k) = (n k) x 0.90^K x 0.10^n-k
p(10) = (12 10) x 0.90^10 x 0.10^2
P(10) = 0.2310
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Width of the room in the drawing = x
1 : 3 :: x : 18
Product of means = Product of extremes
3 * x = 18 *1
x = 18 ÷ 3
x = 6
Width of the room in the drawing = 6 inches
