If 5a=-4b+5 and 3a=-2b+3, what is 6b?

There are two equations and two variables. You can solve for each variable using either the elimination method or the substitution method. Here, I believe the elimination method would be best:
5a = -4b + 5
3a = -2b + 3
You can multiply the second equation by two, so the 4b and -4b in both equations will cancel each other out when you add them. So:
5a = -4b +5
6a = 4b +6
Add both equations together.
11a = 11
a = 1
Plug in the a value into any of the previous equations:
5(1) = -4b + 5
-4b = 0
b = 0
So, since we know that b = 0, 6b is also 0.

Bag A contains 3 red balls and 3 blue balls.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

30% probability that the ball taken from B is red.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

Red ball from urn A:

3/6 = 1/2 probability of getting a red ball from urn A.

Then urn B will have 5 balls, 2 of which are red, so 2/5 probability of getting a red ball.

Blue ball from urn A:

3/6 = 1/2 probability of getting a blue ball from urn A.

Then urn B will have 5 balls, 1 of which is red, so 1/5 probability of getting a red ball.

Total:

p = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

3/10 = 0.3 = 30%.

30% probability that the ball taken from B is red.

I need the answer please and can u answer my recent to.

Answer:

30 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Richard can build 15 snowballs in 1 hour

But 2 snowballs melt every 15 minutes

In 1 hour, the number of snowballs that will have melted is:

\frac{60}{15} × 2 = 8

The number of snowballs that will have remained = 15 - 8 = 7

So 7 snowballs will have remained in 1 hour

For 210 snowballs to have remained, it will take:

\frac{210}{7} × 1 = 30 hours.
