8 0

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute -5a-15= -55

2. get rid of -15 by adding 15 to both sides of the equation

Answer:

<em>The fraction of the beads that are red is</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Algebraic Expressions</u>

A bag contains red (r), yellow (y), and blue (b) beads. We are given the following ratios:

r:y = 2:3

y:b = 5:4

We are required to find r:s, where s is the total of beads in the bag, or

s = r + y + b

Thus, we need to calculate:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}       \qquad\qquad    [1]

Knowing that:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}=\frac{2}{3}      \qquad\qquad    [2]

\displaystyle \frac{y}{b}=\frac{5}{4}

Multiplying the equations above:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}\frac{y}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{5}{4}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{b}=\frac{5}{6}       \qquad\qquad    [3]

Dividing [1] by r:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+y/r+b/r}

Substituting from [2] and [3]:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+3/2+6/5}

Operating:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{10+3*5+6*2}{10}}

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{10+15+12}

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{37}

The fraction of the beads that are red is \mathbf{\frac{10}{37}}

Amanda is a cabinetmaker. She makes cabinets using one of three types of wood: birch, maple, or cherry. She can finish each type
padilas [110]
Assume that each material in each category has an equal chance of being selected.

Categories:
(a) Type of wood used to make the cabinet: birch, maple, cherry.
     Each type of wood has a probability of 1/3 to be selected.
(b) Type of finish: transparent, semi-transparent.
    Each type of finish has a probability of 1/2 to be selected.
(c) Knob: bronze, steel, wood.
     Each material has 1/3 probability to be selected.

Each event (selecting material for the cabinet, for the finish, and for the knob) is an independent event.

Therefore
Probablity(birch wood AND bronze knob) = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Probability(wood knob) = 1/3
Probability(transparent stain) = 1/2
Probability(cheryy wood AND semi-transparent stain) = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6
