Let A be the probability of drawing a white ball first, then a red one second, and then a white one last.

Let B be the probability of drawing a red ball first, then a white one second, and then a red one last.

So, P(A or B)  = 

[4/9 x 5/8 x 3/7 =  60/504 ] + [ 5/9 x 4/8 x 4/7 = 80/504 ]  =

[60 + 80 ] / 504  = 140/504 =  5/18 = about 27.8%

What is the sum of the difference?
Alona [7]

Answer:

A. 9x^4 and 3x^5y

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve this:

first way:

You can solve this my substituting numbers for x and y in this case i used 2 for x and 3 for y and see which one is equal to the original equations

the second way is the regular way

when you add or subtract numbers with variables and exponents you want to add the constants and add the exponents in this case 5x^{4} +4x^2 is the same as (5x+4x)^(4+4) = 9x^4and you can do the same process for subtraction

12x^{5}y-9x^5 y\\(12x-9x)^(5+5)*y= 3x^5y
