<span>Let Rico's speed be S
Then Luis' is: 3S
</span>We then get: seventy-two over s equals seventy-two over three s plus four 
216=72+12s  Multiplying by LCD, 3S
216-72=12s
<span>144 = 12S
</span><span>S, or Rico's speed would be 144 over 12 or 12mph</span>

irina [24]

Answer:

The answer is 61.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the numbers are: x, (x+2), (x+4)

Now, x+x+2+x+4 = 183

3x + 6 = 183

3x = 177

x = 59

So, second number would be: (x+2) = (59+2) = 61

A bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples. 3 apples are selected at random. Find the probability of selecting 1 red apple
tester [92]

Answer:  The required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given that a bag contains 6 red apples and 5 yellow apples out of which 3 apples are selected at random.

We are to find the probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Let S denote the sample space for selecting 3 apples from the bag and let A denote the event of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples.

Then, we have

n(S)=^{6+5}C_3=^{11}C_3=\dfrac{11!}{3!(11-3)!}=\dfrac{11\times10\times9\times8!}{3\times2\times1\times8!}=165,\\\\\\n(A)\\\\\\=^6C_1\times^5C_2\\\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{1!(6-1)!}\times\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{6\times5!}{1\times5!}\times\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{2\times1\times3!}\\\\\\=6\times5\times2\\\\=60.

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{60}{165}=\dfrac{4}{11}\times100\%=36.36\%.

Thus, the required probability of selecting 1 red apple and 2 yellow apples is 36.36%.

Which equation involves a prime quadratic and cannot be solved by factoring? A. x2 + 5x − 4 = 0 B. x2 − x − 6 = 0 C. x2 + 3x − 4
Damm [24]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try to factorize all the options one by one.

For A:

x^{2} +5x-4\\=> x^{2}+4x+x-4\\=>x(x+4)+1(x-4)

We can see that the quadratic expression cannot be solved by factorization as the factors at the end of factorization are not equal in both brackets. So Option A is the correct answer for the given question.

Moreover we can also note that all the other quadratic expressions can be factorized ..
