Let's read through this and make an equation:
? ("number")
? / -7 ("quotient of a number and -7")
(? / -7) - 2 ("decreased by 2")
<span>(? / -7) - 2 = 10 ("is 10")
</span>
Now we can solve:
<span>(? / -7) - 2 = 10
</span><span>? / -7 = 12
</span>? = -84

The number is -84

A box contains four blue and eight red balls. Jim and Jack start drawing balls from the box, respectively, one at a time, at ran
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

the probability that Jack draws the blue ball is 0.38539

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

box contains

blue balls = 5

red balls = 8

Jim and Jack start drawing balls from the box, respectively, one at a time, at random, and without replacement

Now,

on the first attempted;

⇒ ( 8/13) × ( 5/12) = 10/39  

on the second attempt;

⇒ ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) = 14/143

on the third attempt;

⇒ ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) ( 4/9 ) ( 5/8 ) = 35/1287

on the fourth attempt;

⇒  ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) ( 4/9 ) ( 3/8 ) ( 2/7 ) ( 5/6 ) = 5/1287

so we add everything;  

⇒ 10/39 + 14/143 + 35/1287 + 5/1287

= 0.38539

Therefore, the probability that Jack draws the blue ball is 0.38539

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: x=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent (I think it’s called the interior angle proof) so the bottom right angle is also 65°. All angles in a Triangle equal 180°, so 180-(75+65)=40

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the distributive property:

-2x - 2 = -2x + 5

Add 2x to each side:
