Answer:

1/5 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be easily solved by finding the probability of her picking one matching pair to leave in the suitcase (which results in pulling out exactly two matching pairs)

For the first sock, it does not matter what sock she picks.

For the second sock, there is only 1 out of the 5 socks left that would match the first one picked. Therefore, the probability that she pulls out exactly two matching pairs is 1/5 or 20%

Answer:

A) 1/(3x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2)/(x³+2x²-9x-18)÷(3x+1)/(x²-9)

(x+2)/(x+2)(x+3)(x-3)÷(3x+1)/(x+3)(x-3)

since it’s dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply

(x+2)/(x+2)(x+3)(x-3) times (x+3)(x-3)/(3x+1)

The (x+2)’s cancel out.

The (x+3)’s cancel out.

The (x-3)’s cancel out.

You are left with 1/(3x+1)

Two possible solutions of are -7 and 1. Which statement is true?
quester [9]

We can plug those values into the equation, and if the answer is incorrect, we'll know if either one is extraneous.

√11 - 2(-7) = √(-7)^2 + 4(-7) + 4

√25 = √25

5 = 5

The first solution, -7, makes the equation true, and so it is not extraneous.

√11 - 2(1) = √(1)^2 + 4(1) + 4

√9 = √9

3 = 3

The second solution, 1, makes the equation true, and so it is also not extraneous.

<h3>The correct option is D, neither solution is extraneous. </h3>
