<span>13-((4/5)+(6/8))
Make your fractions have common denominators 
</span>13-((32/40)+(30/40))
Add your fractions and simplify
13-(62/40)
or
13-(31/20)
or
13-(1 11/20)
Then turn 13 into a fraction with a common denominator! Im going to use the second fraction method (31/20)
13 written as a fraction is 13/1, its LCD with 31/20 is 20. I now multiply the top and bottom by 20
260/20
Now I rewrite the problem again
(260/20)-(31/20)
Which equals
229/20!
This is your unsimplified answer
Finally you simplify and get
11 9/20

A bag contains 2 white marbles and 7 purple marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random. One marble is drawn and not replaced. Then
Masja [62]
A.
\frac{7purple}{9total} *  \frac{2white}{8total}  \\  \frac{14}{72}  \\ =0.194
The denominator of the second number goes down one because you aren't replacing the initial marble pulled, making the amount of marbles in the bag go down, but not affecting the white count because you pulled a purple marble.
b.
\frac{2white}{9total} *  \frac{1white}{8total}  \\  \frac{2}{72}  \\ =0.278
The same can be said about the denominator for this problem, but not the numerator. The numerator must go down one number as well, because you already chose one white marble, taking one of the white marbles out of the bag, leaving you with one solitary, white marble.
c.
Chance of selecting two purple marbles:
<u />\frac{7purple}{9total} *  \frac{6purple}{8total}  \\  \frac{42}{72}  \\ =0.583
Chance of selecting two white marbles:
\frac{2white}{9total} * \frac{1white}{8total} \\ \frac{2}{72} \\ =0.278
<u>Chance of selecting two purple</u> vs. <em>Chance of Selecting 2 white:</em>
<u>0.583</u>><em>0.278</em>.
It is more likely to select 2 purple marbles.

Hope this helps!

Please factor and find the zeros of each relation (18 marks)
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. \ \frac{-2}{3} , \ \frac{-4}{5}\\\\D. \ -2, \ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

C.

30x^2 + 44x +16 = 0\\\\2(15x^2 + 22 + 8) = 0\\\\2(15x^2 + 12x + 10x + 8) = 0\\\\2(3x(5x + 4)+2(5x + 4))=0\\\\2((3x + 2)(5x + 4)) = 0\\\\Zeroes : 3x + 2 = 0 => x = \frac{-2}{3}\\

             5x+ 4 = 0 => x = \frac{-4}{5}

D.

10x^2 + 60x +80 = 0\\\\10(x^2 + 6x + 8)= 0\\\\10(x^2 + 4x + 2x + 8)=0\\\\10(x(x+4)+2(x+4))=0\\\\10((x+2)(x+4))=0\\\\Zeroes : x + 2 = 0 =>x = -2

            x + 4 = 0 => x= -4
