The number is 8.
We verify:

x + 12 = 20
x = 20 - 12
x = 8

Build an equation from this phrase.

"The sum of a number and 12..." The word sum is the keyword of what operation we are doing. We are doing addition. When we continue the phrase we know we are adding a number (an unknown) and 12.

So, on the left-hand side we have x + 12.

"... is 20" In mathematics, the word 'is' can mean equal. So, the left-hand side will equal the number 20.

Now we have the equation x + 12 = 20.

Solve for x.

x + 12 = 20
x = 8 <-- Subtract each side by 12

So, x is equal to 8.

A jar contains 6 blue, 4 red, and 2 green marbles. What is the probability that three blue marbles are drawn with out replacemen

ch4aika [34]

Answer: The required probability is 9.09%.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a jar contains 6 blue, 4 red, and 2 green marbles.

We are to find the probability that three blue marbles are drawn with out replacement.

Total number of marbles = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12.

After drawing one blue marble, we are left with total 11 marbles. And after drawing the second blue marble, we are left with total 10 marbles.

Therefore, the probability of drawing three blue marbles without replacement is given by

$p\\\\\\=\dfrac{^6C_1}{^{12}C_1}\times\dfrac{5C_1}{^{11}C_1}\times\dfrac{^4C_1}{^{10}C_1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{6}{12}\times\dfrac{5}{11}\times\dfrac{4}{10}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{11}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{11}\times100\%\\\\=9.09\%.$

Thus, the required probability is 9.09%.

taurus [48]

<span>The line would first have to have a negative slope, since she is consuming the crackers, leading to fewer crackers left in the bowl every minute. Since she is eating 9 crackers every two minutes, this would be a slope of (-9/2) to describe the number left in the bowl.</span>
