<h3>
Answer: 11/13</h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
Add up the four numbers given: 4+8+4+10 = 26 items total
Kick out the 4 black shirts since they are neither blue, nor are they pants.
So we have 26-4 = 22 items that are blue or a pair of pants (or both).
Divide that over the total (26) to get the probability we're after:
22/26 = (11*2)/(13*2) = 11/13
Side note: 11/13 = 0.8462 = 84.62% approximately
Answer:
2.44
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7 and x³ + ax² - 12x + 6
Also, R1 + R2 = 6
in order to find the value of a:
Let p(x) = x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7 and q(x) = x³ + ax² - 12x + 6
Using remainder theorem i.e if a polynomial p(x) is divisible by polynomial of form x - a then remainder is given by p(a).
Then,
R1 = p( -1 ) = (-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5a(-1) - 7 = -1 + 2 + 5a - 7 = 5a - 6
R2 = q( 2 ) = 2³ + a(2)² - 12(2) + 6 = 8 + 4a - 24 + 6 = 4a - 10
Now,
R1 + R2 = 6
5a - 6 + 4a - 10 = 6
9a = 22
a=2.44
Therefore, Value of a is 2.44
If you want to solve for x, then
add 2y to both sides
x=2y+4
if want to solve for y
minus x both sides and divide by -2
x-2y=4
-2y=-x+4
y=1/2x-2
