Answer:
The x-intercept is 5.
Some people prefer you right it as a point (5,0).
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept can be found by setting y=0 and solving for x.
Just like to find the y-intercept you can set x=0 and solve for y.
Let's find the x-intercept.
So we will set y=0 and solve for x:
3x-9y=15
3x-9(0)=15
3x-0 =15
3x =15
Divide both sides by 3:
x =15/3
x =5
So the x-intercept is (5,0).

Answer: 9/100</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
There are 3 pink marbles out of 10 total (we can see that 2 yellow + 3 pink + 5 blue = 10 total)
The fraction 3/10 represents the probability of pulling out a pink marble at random. Since the first one is put back, this means the fraction 3/10 stays the same on the second draw as well.
We use the idea mentioned in the hint to multiply the fractions:
(3/10)*(3/10) = (3*3)/(10*10) = 9/100
The probability of pulling two pink marbles in a row is 9/100, where the first marble is put back.
Effectively, if you were given 100 tries at doing this, you should expect about 9 of those times you get 2 pink marbles in a row.
