I believe that the answer is 90x+27
Answer and explanation:
They are not equivalent because if we simplify the second expression, the result isn't the same:
7(y×b)+3b
= 7(yb)+3b
=7yb + 3b
Therefore 7yb+3b≠7y+7b+3y
And even though you meant
7(y+b)+3b
=7y+7b+3b
=7y+10b
7y+10b≠10y+7b
The only answers that are possible is z=y-x y=x+z or x=y-z
There are 2 orange marbles, 3 green marbles, & 5 purple marbles
two consecutives draws <em>without</em> replacement
Orange first, green second
Orange/total = 2/10, or 1/5
green/total - 1 = 3/9, or 1/3
1/5(1/3) = 1/15
There is a 1/15 chance of <em>Orange first, green second</em>
Both marbles are purple
Purple/total = 5/10, or 1/2
Purple/total = 4/9, or <em>44% chance of both being purple</em>
first is purple, the next is anything but purple
purple/total = 1/2, or 50% chance
(everything - purple)/total = 5/10, or 50% chance
1/2(1/2) = 1/4, or 25% chance of <em>first purple, then anything but purple</em>
hope this helps
I think your answer is 90
