You have 9 pieces of wood of different lengths that you are attempting to glue together that will have a length of exactly 10 in

ches. The straw lengths are 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches. What is the probability that you randomly choose one piece of wood keep it then randomly choose the second one to give you a total length of 10 inches. (*Hint* Make a list of the combinations that will add up to 10.) Part 1: Express the probability of the 1st chosen piece of wood. Express the probability of the 2nd chosen piece of wood. Part 2: Explain how you arrived at the above probabilities. Part 3: Express your result in lowest terms.

The possible combinations are:
1,9
2,8
3,7
4,6
9,1
8,2
7,3
6,4

Total straws: 9
Probability of first being 1: 1/9
Probability of second being 9: 1/8
Probability of both: 1/9 x 1/8 = 1/72

This will be multiplied by 8 as there are 8 possible combinations:
8 x 1/72
= 8/72
= 1/9

Answer: y = 5d + 7 / c - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add -3y to both sides

cy - 7 + -3y = 5d + 3y + -3y

= cy - 3y - 7 = 5d

Step 2: Now, add 7 on both sides

cy - 3y - 7 +7 = 5d +7

= cy - 3y = 5d +7

Step 3: Factor out y

y(c - 3) = 5d + 7

Step 4: Divide both sides by c-3

y(c - 3) / c - 3 = 5d+7 / c-3

Your answer for this should be

y = 5d + 7 / c - 3

Hope this helped!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8, -4) and<br> has a slope of 1/2
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach,

For this problem, the format of a line that will be used is, slope-intercept form;

y = mx + b

Where (m) is the slope of the line, also known as the change in the line and (b) is the y-intercept, or where the graph of the line intersects the y-axis. Since, in this problem, the slope of the line is given, all one has to do is substitute in a point on the given line and solve.

2. Finding the equation,

In this problem, the slope of the line is given. Therefore, to solve this problem, all one has to do is substitute in a point on the given line and solve.

y = mx + b

Substitute in the slope,

y = \frac{1}{2}x + b

Substitute in the point,

-4 = \frac{1}{2}(8) + b

Simplify,

-4 = 4 + b

Inverse operations,

-4 = 4 + b\\-4\\\\-8 = b

3. Putting it all together,

Now, that one has y-intercept, (-8); use the given slope and the formula y = mx + b,  substitute in all the information.

y = \frac{1}{2}x - 8
