If we factor -1/4 out of that expression it looks like this: -1/4(2x + 5)

In order to do this, we need to divide each term by that -1/4. Then use them in a parenthesis together.

(-1/2x)/(-1/4) = 2x

(-5/4)(-1/4) = 5

So we use them together at (2x + 5)

Suppose that an urn contains 3 black marbles, 7 yellow marbles, and 10 green marbles. If one marble is selected, determine the p

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple probability is a ratio of the number of ways the thing we want to happen can to the total possible outcomes.

(For example, we flip a coin and want heads, but it can land on heads or tails. Our probability of getting heads is 1/2, one way to get heads over the 2 possible outcomes)

So for this problem, there's 20 possible things that CAN happen (3 + 7 + 10) and 10 ways we get what we want (a green marble).

Our probability of getting a green marble is $\frac{10}{20\\}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$
