Let P = probability given

P = red/(red + blue)

3/7 = 3/(3 + blue)

This means that blue must be 4 to get a sum of 7.

Answer: 4/3

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th
IgorC [24]

Answer:

9.99\text{secs}

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the time the rocket will hit the ground

What we have to do is to substitute 0 for the height of the rocket y and solve the quadratic equation that results

That simply means we are solving for:

0=-16x^2+149x+108

We can use the quadratic formula to solve this

x\text{ = }\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

where a is the coefficient of x^2 which is -16

b is the coefficient of x which is 149

c is the last number which is 108

Substituting the values, we have it that:

\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }\frac{-149\pm\sqrt[]{149^2-4(-16)(108)}}{2(-16)} \\  \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149\pm\sqrt[]{29113}}{-32}\text{ } \\  \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149-170.625\text{   }}{-32} \\ or\text{ } \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149_{}+170.625}{-32} \end{gathered}

Now, we proceed to get the individual x-values:

\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }\frac{-149-170.625}{-32}\text{ = 9.99 } \\ or \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-149+170.625}{-32}\text{ = -0.68} \end{gathered}

Since time cannot be negative, we use the first value only

-3(x-5)-2x=-10...... solve for x
Veseljchak [2.6K]
-3(x-5)-2x=-10

Distribute. 

-3x+15-2x=-10

Combine like terms. 

-5x+15=-10

Subtract 15 on both sides. 

-5x=-25

Divide by -5 on both sides. 

x=5 

I hope this helps!

Write an equation, in slope-intercept form of the line through these two points. (2, 9) and (0, 2)
kow [346]

Answer:

y = \frac{7}{2}x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

m= 2-9/ 0-2 = \frac{-7}{-2} = \frac{7}{2}

y=mx+b              9 = \frac{7}{2} (2) + b

m= \frac{7}{2}                   9 = 7 + b

b = 2                 -7   -7  

                          2 = b

y = \frac{7}{2} x + 2
