X=Amount of skittles at the start.
Nasir ate 10 skittles and Seif ate 6 skittles so the number of skittles they had(x) - how many they both ate equals : 2/3;

(x-10)/(x-6)=2/3
3(x-10)=2(x-6)
3x-30=2x-12
x-30=-12
x=18

They each started with 18 skilttles.

A rectangular field on a farm is to be fenced in using the wall of the barn for one side and 200 meters of fencing for the other
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Rectangular area as a function of x :   A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

A(max) = 5000 m²

Dimensions:

x = 50 m

l  = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

"x" is the length of the perpendicular side to the wall of the rectangular area to be fenced, and we call "l" the other side (parallel to the wall of the barn) then:

A(r) = x* l     and the perimeter of the rectangular shape is

P = 2*x + 2*l   but we won´t use any fencing material along the wll of the barn therefore

P  =  2*x + l       ⇒   200 = 2*x  + l      ⇒   l  = 200 - 2*x      (1)

And the rectangular area as a function of x is:

A(x)  = x * ( 200 - 2*x)  ⇒  A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  200 - 4*x     ⇒   A´= 0

Then    200 - 4*x  = 0     ⇒   4*x =  200   ⇒  x  = 50 m

We find the l value, plugging the value of x in equation (1)

l  = 200 - 2*x     ⇒ l = 200 - 2*50   ⇒  l = 100  m

A(max)  =  100*50

A(max)  = 5000 m²

A bag contains six red marbles three blue marbles and five green marble the three marbles are drawn out of the bag what is the p
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Red = 6

Blue = 3

Green = 5

Total = 14

First marble = 6/14  = 3/7  You now have 5 reds and 13 total

Second Marble = 5 * 13  which brings you down to 4 red and 12 total.

Third Marble = 4/12 = 1/3

Result

P(3 Red) = 3/7 * 5/13 * 1/3     cancel the 3s

P(3 Red) = 1/7 * 5/13

P(3 Red) = 5/91

P(3 Red) = 0.0549 . Rounding to the nearest 1/100 depends on what you have been told about rounding. I would say the answer is 0.05 but your teacher may say something different.
