<h3>Answer: Choice B. 1/3p</h3>

This is assuming that p is not in the denominator. To make it more clear that p is not in the denominator, I recommend you write (1/3)p.

Taking 1/3 of a number is the same as dividing by 3.

Example:

27/3 = 9

27*(1/3) = 9

1/3p

This is expressed as equívalent because 1/1 = 1 this 1/3=.33, thus 1/3 is p/3

Solve the following:<br> a) 4x 3= 2x + 7<br><br> b) 2x+6= 7x14

nikdorinn [45]

<h2><u>Correct question</u> : 4x - 3 = 2x + 7 </h2>

<h2><u>Solution</u> : 4x - 3 = 2x + 7 </h2>

$4x - 2x = 7 + 3 \\ \\ 2x = 10 \\ \\ x = \frac{10}{2} \\ \\ x = 5.$

<h2><u>Correct Question</u> : 2x + 6 = 7x - 14</h2>

<h2><u>Solution</u> : 2x + 6 = 7x - 14</h2>

$2x - 7x = - 14 - 6 \\ \\ - 5x = - 20 \\ \\ x = \frac{20}{5} \\ \\ x = 4.$

a cooler contains 50 bottles; 30 bottles of water, which 8 are lemon flavored and 20 bottles of tea, of which 5 are lemon flavor

xenn [34]

Answer:

The required probability is $\dfrac{13}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of bottles = 50

Total number of water bottles = 30

Total number of lemon flavored water bottles = 8

Total number of tea bottles = 20

Total number of lemon flavored tea bottles = 5

<em>Probability of selecting a lemon flavored water bottle = Probability of selecting a water bottle </em> $\times$ <em> Probability of selecting a lemon bottle out of water bottles.</em>

<em>Probability of selecting a lemon flavored tea bottle = Probability of selecting a tea bottle </em> $\times$ <em> Probability of selecting a lemon bottle out of tea bottles.</em>

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$
