I got ten. Here's the equation.
x = 1/2x + 5
<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>
<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>
<span>1/2x = 5 </span>
<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>
<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>
<span>x = 10 cats</span>
Answer:
the answer to this question is 6/5
We know that
g=3
r=2
b=5
total marbies=g+r+b------> 3+2+5----> 10
a) <span>probability that the first marble is red
P(red)=r/total marbies------------> 2/10-----> 1/5
b) </span><span>probability that the second marble is blue
in this case total marbles-------> 9
P(blue)=b/total marbles----------> 5/9
c) </span><span>the probability that the first marble is red and the second is blue
(1/5)*(5/9)=1/9
the answer is
1/9</span>
