Alright lets break it down:

Carol = 60 inches tall

Mindy = ??

Lets turn words into numbers:

60 inches is 20 inches less than (2x) Mindy's height

60 inches + 20 inches = 80 inches

This helps us visualize it better, if 60 is 20 inches less than two times Mindy's height, then that means 80 is two times Mindy's height, right?

80 ÷ 2 = 40 inches

Mindy's height is 40 inches

If this is still unclear, comment back.

Hope I was of use, best of luck.

Although they use all the same digits, that does not mean that the digits are in the same order. The only digit that is clarified that is in the same spot is the first one, so you look at the next one

Scenario 1: You and a friend take turns choosing cards at random from a deck containing 13 red cards and 13 black ones. Once you

Kisachek [45]

Note that both scenarios are similar, the only difference is that in scenario 1, the selected card is not returned to the deck and in scenario 2 the card is returned to the original deck.
Therefore, scenario 1 is dependent, since it "depends" on the selected cards before. If on the first attempt you have 13 blacks and 13 reds and you select a red one, then for the second attempt you will have 13 blacks and 12 reds, so this time you will have more chances of getting a black card. Scenario 2 is independent, because when you return the selected card to the deck you will always have 13 red and 13 black cards in each attempt, so each event will be independent of the previous one. Finally, as it was explained above the probability of selecting two red faces are different in each scenario

Advocard [28]

Hello,

12x^4+39x^3+9x²=x²(12x²+39x+9)=x²(12x²+36x+3x+9)=x²(4x(3x+9)+(3x+9))
=x²(3x+9)(4x+1)
=3x²(x+3)(4x+1)
