Change the messy words into numerals
3     times          a number         minus            2           equals         13
3          ×                n                     -                 2               =               13

3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2)  = 13 + (2)
3n = 15

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
\frac{3n}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
3 and 3 cancels out

n = 5

check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3     ×    5       -      2     =     13
15    -      2        =          13
13            =               13

The number is 5

TV studio has brought in 9 boy kittens and 6 girl kittens for a cat food commercial. The director is going to choose 9 of these
Amanda [17]

Answer:

probability = 0.2517

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

boy kittens = 9

girl kittens = 6

choose kittens at random = 9

solution

total kitten are = 9 + 6 = 15

first we get here total no of probability that is

n(s) = 15 C 9

n(s) = \frac{15!}{9!(15-9)!}  

n(s) =5005

and

total way to chose 5 boy kittens is = 9 C 3

n(3) = \frac{9!}{3!(9-3)!}  

n(3) =  84

and

total way to chose 4 girl kittens is = 6 C 4

n(4) = \frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}  

n(4) = 15

so

total way to chose 5 boy kittens and 4 girl kittens is

total way = 84 ×15  = 1260

so probability that the director chooses 5 boy kittens and 4 girl kittens is

probability = \frac{1260}{5005}  

probability = 0.2517
