Answer:

The probability of seeing a person wearing black shoes before seeing a person wearing white ones = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

People watched walking down the street = 100%

People wearing black shoes = 1/2 = 50%

People wearing white shoes = 1/3 = 33.33%

People wearing red shoes = 1/6 = 16.67%

Probability of black shoes to white shoes = percentage of persons wearing black shoes/sum of the percentages of people wearing black and white shoes)

= 50% : 33.33%

= 60% (50%/83.33%)

When expressed in ratio terms, it means that you will see 1.5 (50%/33.33% or 1.5 : 1) persons wearing black shoes before you see a person wearing white shoes.

Set each piece = to 56, assuming that the 2 variables for which you are not solving are each equal to 0.

7x -2(0)-14(0) = 56
7x=56 (divide each side by 7)
X = ?
(__, 0, 0)

7(0) - 2y - 14 (0) = 56
-2y = 56 (divide each side by -2)
Y= ?
(0, __ , 0)

7(0) - 2(0) - 14z = 56
-14z = 56 (divide each side by -14)
z = ?
(0, 0, __)

Factor 2pq - 5qr + 10r - 4p.
Tresset [83]
The answer is B) <span>(q - 2)(2p - 5r) 

</span>2pq - 5qr + 10r - 4p = 2pq - 4p - 5qr + 10r
                                 = 2pq - 4p - (5qr - 10r)
                                 = 2p(q - 2) - 5r(q - 2)
                                 = (q - 2)(2p - 5r)
