Answer:

Number:3.75

Equation:7 x-9=3(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

7 x-9=3(x+2)

7 x-9= 3 x+ 6

7 x- 3 x= 9+6

4 x= 15

x=15/4

x=3.75

If you verify the answer you will get,

11.25=11.25

Thank you!

Each of the 25 balls in a certain box is either red, blue or white and has a number from 1 to 10 painted on it. If one ball is t

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Not sufficient information

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of white ball: P(W)

Probability of even number: P(E)

Probability of white ball or even number: P(W∨E) is asked

Considering case (1):

Probability of white ball and even number: P(W∧E) = 0

And we know that,

P(W∨E) = P(W) + P(E) - P(W∧E) = P(W) + P(E) - 0 = P(W) + P(E)

It is not sufficient to calculate the desired probability.

Considering case (2):

P(W) - P(E) = 0.2

Here, it is possible for P(W) and P(E) to get multiply values.

So P(W∨E) cannot be determined.

Considering cases (1) & (2):

P(W∧E) = 0 and P(W) - P(E) = 0.2

So, P(W∨E) = P(W) + P(E) = P(E) + 0.2 + P(E) = 2P(E) + 0.2

Again multiple answers are possible.

Such as, for P(E) = 0.4 (10 even balls) ⇒ P(W∨E) = 1

but for P(E) = 0.2 (5 even balls) ⇒ P(W∨E) = 0.6

So, the information are not sufficient.

Write the equation -3x + 4y = 16 in slope-intercept form.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c

Given

- 3x + 4y = 16 ( add 3x to both sides )

4y = 3x + 16 ( divide all terms by 4 )

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