<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.

Answer:

Mean=50

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a probability distribution is a <u>measure of central tendency</u>,and gives information about how the possible values of x are distributed.

The vertical axis measures the probability of  finding a specific value of x in the sample.  The probability of finding a value near the mean is high (that is why the value of the function that is depicted in the vertical axis, increases as we get closer to the mean=50): this is because the mean is that value of x around which higher probability of occurrence is associated.

Form a paragraph proof for the following. Make sure you include all the
timama [110]

Answer:

Line BD is Congruent to Line BD due to the Reflexive property. Angle Bad is congruent to angle BCD because of the third angle theorem therefore triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CBD because all angles and sides are congruent

I don't know if that will satisfy your teacher because some prefer different things but that leaves no ground to be inferred and explains everything word for word.

Determine which characteristics are true of vertical angles
liq [111]

Answer:

1, 2 and 4 option - Yes

3 option - No

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition: </u>Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross.

By the definition options

  • they are formed by intersecting lines,
  • they are opposite to each other

are true.

Vertical Angles Theorem states that vertical angles are congruent. Thus, option

  • they are congruent

is true.

Option

  • they are always supplementary

is false, because supplementary are angles that add up to 180°, but vertical angles can have different measures which do not add up to 180°.
