Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is 0.143

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B).

    since given that P(A) = Probability of getting puncture = 0.08

                                P(B) = probability of getting smashed corner = 0.07

                       P(A∩B) = probability of getting both puncture and smashed corner = 0.007

                    P(A∪B) = probability of getting any of them

   so P(A∪B) = 0.08 + 0.07 -0.007 = O.143

Total money spent is $11425 buying 75 animals
each chicken costs $65 so 50 costed the farmer $3250
each cow costs $45 so 15 cows costed the farmer $675
ducks purchased were 10
to find how much the ducks costs we will add the money spent the farmer and subtract it from the total amount spent.
11425-3250-675=$7500
10 ducks = $7500
so one duck costs 7500/10=$750
the price for each duck is $750

7x² + 6x - 1<br> Algebra 3|factoring
GaryK [48]

Answer:

(7 x - 1) (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

7 x^2 + 6 x - 1

Factor the quadratic 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1. The coefficient of x^2 is 7 and the constant term is -1. The product of 7 and -1 is -7. The factors of -7 which sum to 6 are -1 and 7. So 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1 = 7 x^2 + 7 x - x - 1 = (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

(7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1)

Factor 7 x - 1 from (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

Answer: (7 x - 1) (x + 1)
