First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. 
10 ft ÷ 6 
<span>
Now, all you would have to do is solve it. 
</span>10 ft ÷ 6 = 1.66666666667 ft<span>

The longest each leg can be is </span><span>1.66666666667 ft. 
But, if you want it rounded to the nearest foot, each leg would be 1 ft long. 

I hope this helps!</span>

1 board that is 10 feet long and make that into 6 table legs. Take the amount we have over the amount we want, so 10 over 6 which is 1.6666667 feet which is the longest each leg can be for a 10-foot board.

Six different colored dice are rolled. Of interest is the number of dice that show a one. In words, define the random variable X
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Six dice (each of a different color) are rolled. Since the number of times the 6 dice were rolled isn't stated, take it to be 1.

Hence, 6 dice are rolled at once for this experiment.

Of interest is the number of dice that show a "one". In other words, the variable in question (X) is:

The number of dots that show on the upward face of the rolled dice.

The values that X may take on are:

1  2  3  4  5  6

On average, how many dice would you expect to show a one?

One die.

How is this gotten? By finding the probability that a one or one dot appears when the 6 dice are rolled at once. Since there are 6 dice in number, and each die has the same 6 faces containing dots, the probability of getting a one is 1/6. In this case, one out of 6 dice is expected to show one dot.

Find the probability that all six dice show a dot in just one toss.

Logically, this probability is going to be very small! It is almost impossible for all 6 dice to land on the same face in just a single toss. In other words, expect many decimal places in the probability figure.

1/6 divided by 6  = 0.167/6  = 0.028 approximated to three decimal places.

This would also represent the probability that 2 dots, 3 dots, or any other number of dots appears on all dice in one toss!

Is it more likely (in this experiment) that 3 or 4 dice will show a one (a single dot)?

The answer is yes! It is more likely that 3 or 4 dice (instead of all 6) will show a one or will show the same number of dots.

Kudos!

First, make sure that all the variables are in one side. The first equation is gonna be x-y=3

Second, we are going to eliminate the y because it is much easier, but you can also eliminate the x

We have to add both equation because the y in the first equation is negative and in the second equation it’s positive.

We are left with 3x=9

Therefore, x=3

Last, substitute x= 3 in one of the equations

Y=6

P.O.I is (3,6)

Completely simplify the expression 4x+10+6x+2x4x+10+6x+2x
oksian1 [2.3K]
<span>Simplifying 4x + 20 = 6x + -10 Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = 6x + -10 Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x Solving 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6x' to each side of the equation. 20 + 4x + -6x = -10 + 6x + -6x Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x 20 + -2x = -10 + 6x + -6x Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0 20 + -2x = -10 + 0 20 + -2x = -10 Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + -20 + -2x = -10 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 0 + -2x = -10 + -20 -2x = -10 + -20 Combine like terms: -10 + -20 = -30 -2x = -30 Divide each side by '-2'. x = 15 Simplifying x = 15</span>
