Answer:

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =

2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.

The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5

He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45

=4x/15

He has 15 bread rolls left

Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor

x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5

Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying

15x= 225+4x + 6x

15x = 225 +10x

15x-10x = 225

5x = 225

x = 225/5 =45

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

y=-3x+9

explanation

m=-3 (X1,Y1) = (4,-3)

(y-y1)= m×(x-x1)

(y-(-3))=-3(x-4)

y+3= -3x+12

y=-3x+12-3

y=-3x+9

Identify the coefficients, constants, terms and factors of 6x + 12- 3x + 4
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Review terms, factors, and coefficients, and try some practice problems. ... Terms. Terms are single numbers, variables, or the product of a number and variable. ... What is a variable? Terms ... So in the expression: 12x+ 19y -1, is the constant -1 or 1? ... In the term "4x", 4 would be the coefficient in the algebraic expression.

Evaluate bd for a = 5, b = -2, c = 4 and d = -6. user: perform the indicated operation. (-50) �� (-2) user: perform the indicate
Stella [2.4K]
Assuming that the missing operations are multiplication as it is with the first question "bd", then the answer would be as follows:

1.)  Simply substitute the values of b and d before multiplying.

bd = (-2)(-6) = 12

2.) (-50)(-2) = 100

3.) (5/8)(7/12)= 35/96

Determine weather randomly picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, l
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is certain with probability equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a mathematical framework which helps us to analyze chance of the outcome in a particular experiment. The value of probability is given by the ratio of the possible outcomes favorable to a certain experiment to the total outcomes.

We say an event is certain when the probability is 1 and the probability is zero when the event is uncertain.

Here the experiment is picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards.

Possible outcomes are all the cards colored blue in the bag.

Total outcomes are also all the blue cards in the bag.

∴ The value of probability is 1 as the event is certain because if we pick a card from the bag containing only blue cards, it would certainly give us a blue card.
