<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: C is the correct answer:

C. 2:3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The odds in favor of an outcome is the ratio of number of ways the outcome could occur to the number of ways it could not occur.

Here we are asked to find the odds in favor of drawing a green marble.

Hence, it is the ratio of the number of ways the green marble will come up to the number of ways it could not come up.

The probability of drawing a green marble from a marble bag is 40%.

This means that the probability of not drawing a green marble from the bag is: 60%

( since, 100-40=60)

Hence, the odds in favor is: 40:60

i.e.

4:6=2:3

Answer:

x = $\frac{7+\sqrt{47}\times i }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To solve quadratic systems,we always substitute one variable in terms if the other and then solve the equation.</u>

x + 2y = 6 ---------------(1)

y - 5 = $(x-2)^{2}$ ---------------(2)

y = $(x-2)^{2}$ + 5 ---------------(3)

Substitute (3) in (1) ,

x + 2( $(x-2)^{2}$ + 5 ) = 6

$(a + b)^{2}$ = $a^{2} + 2ab + b^{2}$

x + 2( $x^{2} - 4x + 4$ + 5 ) = 6

$2x^{2} - 7x + 12=0$ --------------(4)

The roots of the quadratic equation $ax^{2} +bx+c$ is

x = $\frac{(-b) + \sqrt{(-b)^{2}-4 \times ac } }{2 \times a}$ -----------(5)

According to equation (5),solution of (4) is

x = $\frac{7 + \sqrt{(-7)^{2}-4 \times 24 } }{2 \times 2}$

x = $\frac{7+\sqrt{49-96}}{4}$

x = $\frac{7+\sqrt{47}\times i }{4}$

25% of x is 30<br><br>x=? <br>please help!!!

Nesterboy [21]

25% of 30 can be found by converting 25% to a decimal and multiplying it by 30.

25% = 0.25

30x0.25=7.5

So x is 7.5.

10x + .0085x = 280000

GaryK [48]

Answer:

x = 27976.22021

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + .0085x = 280000

Combine like terms

10.0085x = 280000

Divide by 10.0085 on each side

10.0085x /10.0085= 280000/10.0085

x = 27976.22021

Complete the steps to find all zeroes of the function f(x) = x4 − 4x3 − 4x2 + 36x − 45. This function has roots.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Steps?

A graph shows zeros to be ±3. Factoring those out leaves the quadratic
(x-2)² +1
which has complex roots 2±i.

The function has roots -3, 3, 2-i, 2+i.
