Answer:

4pq(p³+q³)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly 5 game would be when 4 wins and 1 loss of a particular person

loss has to be one of the first 4 games

A wins: qp⁴ + pqp³ + p²qp² + p³qp

= qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ = 4qp⁴

B wins: pq⁴ + qpq³ + q²pq² + q³pq

= pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ = 4pq⁴

A wins or B wins:

4pq⁴ + 4qp⁴ = 4pq(q³+p³)

Mumz [18]

Answer:3 by 1

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so I'll say the long side of a tile as x

the short side of a tile as y

look at the short side of the big patio first, it's made up of 2 big and 2 small

so 2x+2y=8 or x+y=8 so two added together is 8. So one possibility is 3 and 1 because (3+1)2 = 9

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

60.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

60% white, 40% black

The first draw you have a 60% chance drawing a white marble, the second time you have a 55% chance since you already drew one in the first round. so i think it is 60.5%% chance drawing white on both rounds since I add 60+55=121. 121/200=60.5%

Can someone please help me with this geometry question.
galben [10]

To find w, you subtract 117 from 180. After that you get w = 63. Now you add 63 and 31 to get 94. You then subtract 94 from 180 to get x = 86. Now you add 86 and 56 to get 142. You then subtract 142 from 180 to get y = 38. Now you add 38 and 117 to get 155. Again you subtract 155 from 180 to get z = 25
