<em /><em>PURPLE MARBLES=P
WHITE MARBLES=W

</em>First, write out an equation showing the number of purple marbles.
P=5W-6
Then, write out the main equation.
W+P=96
W+5W-6=96
Add 6 to both sides.
W+5W=102
6W=102
Divide both sides by 6
W=17
Now that we know there are 17 white marbles, we can go back to the equation about how many purple marbles there are. 
P=5W-6
Plug in the value for W, which is 17.
P=5(17)-6
P=85-6
P=79

To make sure your answer is correct, check your work by plugging in the values for P+W=96.
79+17=96
Answer: There are 79 purple marbles.

An estimated 40% of all people were born after the year 2000. If two people are selected at random from around the world, what a
sukhopar [10]

The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Year = 2000

Proportion of people born after 2000, p = 40%

Sample size = 2

The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is calculated as:

P = (1- p)^2

Substitute the known values in the above equation

P = (1 - 40%)^2

Evaluate the exponent

P = 0.36

Hence, the chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36

If the measure of angle 1 is (3 x minus 4) degrees and the measure of angle 2 is (4 x + 10) degrees, what is the measure of angl
arlik [135]

Answer:

58 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle 1 + angle 2 = 90 degrees, then:

(3x - 4) + (4x+10) = 90

Combine like terms:

(3x+4x) + (10-4) = 90

7x + 6 = 90

Subtract 6 from both sides:

7x = 84

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 12

**Plug x back into angle 2 (This step is easy to forget!):

angle 2 = 4(12) + 10

angle 2 = 48 + 10

angle 2 = 58 degrees
