Since there are equal numbers of pieces, the chances of Julio getting a red on the first pull is 12/24  or 1/2 (reduced)

However on the second pull there are only 11 reds (Julio pulled one out) out of 23 remaining pieces so the chances of pulling the second red are 11/23

Now multiply those possibilities: 
 1/2  x 11/23 and you will get 11/46 which is the probability of pulling two reds in a row.  11/46 is the answer.

75 - 3.5y - 4y = 4y + 6 <br> Solve for y please.
Alla [95]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

75−3.5y−4y=4y+6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

75−3.5y−4y=4y+6

75+−3.5y+−4y=4y+6

(−3.5y+−4y)+(75)=4y+6(Combine Like Terms)

−7.5y+75=4y+6

−7.5y+75=4y+6

Step 2: Subtract 4y from both sides.

−7.5y+75−4y=4y+6−4y

−11.5y+75=6

Step 3: Subtract 75 from both sides.

−11.5y+75−75=6−75

−11.5y=−69

Step 4: Divide both sides by -11.5.

−11.5y

−11.5

=

−69

−11.5

y=6

Hope this helps!

svetlana [45]

Answer:

seventh  interior angle=∠x=29°

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of interior angle of polygon is equal to 360°

let seventh angle of heptagon is x

∠x+47°+55°+62°+64°+54°+49°=360°

∠x=360°-(47°+55°+62°+64°+54°+49°)

∠x=360°-331°=29°

∠x=29°
