The sum of two numbers is 65. The larger number is 23 more than the smaller number . What are the numbers ?

1 answer:

5 0

Let's represent the smaller number by x and the larger number x+23
x+x+23=65 x+23=21+23=44 So the two numbers are 21 and 44
2x+23=65
2x+23-23=65-23
2x=42
2x/2=42/2
x=21

The sample space, S, for flipping a fair coin three times is shown

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: $\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sample space is $={HHH,THH,HTH,HHT,TTH,THT,HTT,TTT}$

There are 8 element in sample space which indicates the outcome of tossing a coin three times

Probability of obtaining at least one head $=1-P(\text{0 head})$

$P(\text{0 head})=P(\text{All tails})$

$P=1-\frac{1}{8}$

$P=\frac{7}{8}$

How can math help in your daily life? <br> How will it benifit you in the future?

Natali [406]

Math can help you when you go to a store and buy stuff. Like when you go to the store when you're older and giving in money for what your buying. Or seeing if you have enough money to buy stuff. Hope it helps :)

He first three terms of a geometric sequence are as follows. 10 , 30 , 90 find the next two terms of this sequence.+

ankoles [38]

10*3=30
30*3=90
90*3=270
270*3=810

or

10*3^1=30
10*3^2=90
10*3^3=270
10*3^4=810

the next two terms of this sequence are 270 and 810.
