There are 6 pockets all together. You checked two of them and it wasn't
there. So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.

The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.

The probability of success on the next one is <em>1/4 = 25% .</em>

=======================================================

Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:

Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10 = 16.

Total number of pockets = 6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10 = -2.
Second partial sum = 6 - 2 = 4.

Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16 = <em>25% </em>.

Line c has an equation of y=-3/4x-3. Line d is parallel to line c and passes through the points (-2, -2). What is the equation o

blagie [28]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{3}{4}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of line d

to find c substitute (- 2, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 = $\frac{3}{2}$ + c ⇒ c = - 2 - $\frac{3}{2}$ = - $\frac{7}{2}$

y = - $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{7}{2}$ ← equation of line d

Hey! I'v been struggling with this question lately. Can someone just lend me a hand?

Dominik [7]

So, this problem is asking us to find the value of our variable u.

How can you do this? By isolating the variable, or having only it on one side of the equals sign.

Here's the step by step approach. It's just simple algebra and reverse order of operation (which is what you should do whenever you are solving for a variable).

$\frac{u+88}{11} = 17$

Multiply both sides by 11 to get rid of the 11 denominator.
$u + 88 = 187$

Then, subtract both sides by 88 to get u by itself.
$u = 99$

Therefore, u is equal to 99.

Apple pies cost $5.75 each and cherry pies cost $6.50 each.Susan bought nine pies for a total cost of $53.25.There is no tax cha

Tanzania [10]

5.75a + 6.5c = 53.25

a + c = 9

c = 9 - a

5.75a + 58.5 - 6.5a = 53.25

5.25 = 0.75a

a = 7

7 + c = 9

c = 2

she bought 7 apple pies
