The absolute value of a number can be positive or negative.

21. What is the value of x if 5:(3x+2) = 7:(5x-2). A. 6 B. 5 C.7.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

5/(3x+2) = 7/(5x-2)

<=>5*(5x-2) = 7*(3x+2) (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)

<=> 25x -10 = 21x +14 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)

<=> 4x = 24 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)

<=> x = 6 (valid)

A bag had 7 orange rocks , 6 green rock , 1 white rock ,7 black rocks , and 2 yellow you randomly pull a rock from the bag ,keep

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{7}{253}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Orange = 7$

$Green = 6$

$White = 1$

$Black = 7$

$Yellow = 2$

Required

Probability of selecting a yellow then orange rock

From the question, we understand that the probability is that of without replacement.

Since the yellow, is first picked.

We need to determine the probability of picking a yellow rock, first.

$P(Yellow) = \frac{n(Yellow)}{Total}$

$P(Yellow) = \frac{2}{7 + 6 + 1 + 7 + 2}$

$P(Yellow) = \frac{2}{23}$

The rock has reduced by 1;

Next is to determine the probability of picking an orange rock

$P(Orange) = \frac{n(Orange)}{Total - 1}$

$P(Orange) = \frac{7}{7 + 6 + 1 + 7 + 2- 1}$

$P(Orange) = \frac{7}{22}$

The required probability is calculated as thus:

$Probability = P(Yellow) * P(Orange)$

$Probability = \frac{2}{23} * \frac{7}{22}$

$Probability = \frac{14}{506}$

$Probability = \frac{7}{253}$

Help me pleaseee I need help

MAVERICK [17]

I think it is b because probability of 2 is 1/6 then probability of 4 is 1/6. If you times them together 1/6x1/6 it will equal 1/36 so b

Three brothers Charlie Robert and Nicholas have 21 video games Charlie has twice as many games as Robert. Robert has 5 fewer gam

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The equation would be $4x-15=21$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total Number of Video games = 21

Let the number of video game Nicholas has be 'x'.

Now Given:

Robert has 5 fewer games than Nicholas.

so we can say that;

number of video game Robert has = $x-5$

Also Given:

Charlie has twice as many games as Robert.

so we can say that;

number of video game Charlie has = $2(x-5)=2x-10$

we need to write the equation.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Total Number of Video games is equal to sum of number of video game Nicholas has, number of video game Robert has and number of video game Charlie has.

framing the equation we get;

$x+x-5+2x-10=21\\\\4x-15=21$

Hence The equation would be $4x-15=21$ .

On Solving we get;

Adding both side by 15 we get;

$4x-15+15=21+15\\\\4x=36$

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

$\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{36}{4}\\\\x=9$

Hence Nicholas has = 9 video games

Robert has = $x-5= 9-5=4$ video games

Charlie has = $2x-10 = 2\times9-10=18-10=8$ video games
