<span>Let x=smaller number
Then x+5=larger number
Now we are told the following:
1/5(x+x+5)=x-5 multiply each side by 5
x+x+5=5x-25 subtract 5x and also 5 from both sides
x+x+5-5-5x=5x-5x-25-5 collect like terms
</span><span>-3x=-30 divide both sides by -3
x=10 smaller number
x+5=10+5=15 larger number
CK
1/5(10+15)=10-5
1/5(25)=10-5
5=5 </span>
Answer:
#1 false
#2 true
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 socks
Step-by-step explanation:
What we must do is calculate the probability of this happening, that he takes out two black socks in the first two taken out.
There are 12 black socks and in total they are 24, therefore the probability of drawing 1 is:
12/24
and now the probability of getting another one is 11 (there is one less outside) and in total they are 23:
11/23
the final probability is the multiplication of these events:
(12/24) * (11/23)
P = 0.24
Now, to know how many you should get, we multiply the probability by the total number of socks, that is:
0.24 * 24 = 5.76
So you must take out at least 6 socks for the above to happen.
Answer:
17 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorm is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
In this problem we can call 8 km a and 15 km b.
Plug 8 and 15 into the pythagorean theorm to get 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2
This will give you 289=c^2
Take the square root of both sides to get c=17
Hope this helps!
