The ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that Jacob is making several batches of cookies and is using 84 total ounces of chips
Let "c" be the ounces of chocolate chips
Let "p" be the ounces of peanut butter chips
To find: ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob
Given that There are 5 times as many ounces of chocolate chips as peanut butter chips
<em><u>Thus we can frame a equation as:</u></em>
ounces of chocolate chips = 5 x ounces of peanut butter chips
c = 5p -------- eqn 1
Jacob used 84 total ounces of chip. Therefore,
ounces of chocolate chips + ounces of peanut butter chips = 84
c + p = 84 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
5p + p = 84
6p = 84
<h3>p = 14</h3>
Substitute p = 14 in eqn 1
c = 5(14) = 70
<h3>c = 70</h3>
Thus the ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce
a + 5 = 11
You need to isolate the variable by subtracting from both sides
a + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5
a = 6
The Addition/Subtraction Property of Equality states that if you add or subtract the same number to both sides of an equation the two sides still remain equal.

Between the probability of union and intersection, it's not clear what you're supposed to compute. (I would guess it's the probability of union.) But we do know that
For parts (a) and (b), you're given everything you need to determine
.
For part (c), if
and
are mutually exclusive, then
, so
. If the given probability is
, then you can find
. But if this given probability is for the intersection, finding
is impossible.
For part (d), if
and
are independent, then
.
