Answer:

90/361

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the probability to grab a red and blue sock.

p(red sock) = 10/19

p(blue sock) = 9/19

2. Multiply the two probabilities.

10 x 9 = 90

19 x 19 = 361

3. Simplify only if it is possible to do so.

4. The answer is 90/361.

Find the perimeter pf a rectangular parking lot that has a width of 3x+2 and a length of 5x-7.*

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Perimeter is 16x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

${ \sf{perimeter = 2(length + width)}} \\ p = 2 \{(5x - 7) + (3x + 2) \} \\ p = 2(8x - 5) \\ p = 16x - 10$

David is buying fish for his aquarium. Clown fish cost $12 each and angel fish cost $7 each. If he has $100 to spend, and he wan

Anni [7]

Answer:

6 clown fish and 4 angel fish

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say he bought 8 clown fish.

12*8 = 96

the last 4 dollars wont be used.

lets say he bought 7 clown fish-

12*7 = 84

100 - 84 = 16. 16 is not a multiple of 7.

lets say he bought 6 clown fish,

12*6 = 72

100 - 72 = 28

28/7 = 4

If David has $100 dollars to spend and wants to spend every dollar, he can buy 6 clown fish and 4 angel fish.

pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

kaheart [24]

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

Step 1

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 2

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

Step 3

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 4

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

Will someone please tell me step by step how to solve this.

Gwar [14]

I believe you set them equal to each other.
2x+4=5x-9
x=4.3
2(4.3)+4=12.6
I think the answer is 12.6
