To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended

No it can not be amended. 3/4 of 50 equals 37.5. While yes, you can not count a half of a person, 35 doesn't even equal 37. So you're still stuck with the answer of no.

the perimeter of the rectangle below is 98 units. Find the length of CD. Write your answer without variables. cd=4x+3 cb=5x+1
zimovet [89]

2(4x + 3) + 2(5x + 1) = 98 \\ 8x + 6 + 10x + 2 = 98 \\ 18x + 8 = 98 \\ 18x = 90 \\  x = 5
Substitute x with 5,

CD =
4x + 3 \\  = 4(5) + 3 \\  = 20 + 3 \\  = 23
CD = 23 units

Hope this helps.

Deshawn has two bags of marbles. The first bag has 2 blue, 3 orange, and 5 red. The second bag has 4 pink, 10 blue, and 6 brown.
madreJ [45]

Answer: 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bag-I has 2 blue,3 orange, 5 red

Bag-II has 4 Pink,10 blue, 6 brown

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-I

\Rightarrow ^2C_1

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-I

\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-II

\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-II

\Rightarrow ^{20}C_1

The probability that he will pull out a blue marble from each bag is

\Rightarrow P=\text{Probability of pulling a blue marble from bag-I}\times \text{Probability of pulling a blue out bag-II}

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^2C_1}{^{10}C_1}\times \dfrac{^{10}C_1}{^{20}C_1}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{10}\times \dfrac{10}{20}=\dfrac{1}{10}

Use addition to solve the linear system of equations. Include all of your work in your final answer. \(\left\{ \right.\) 3x-y=6
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the linear system of equations.

3x-y=6 \\y=x-4

We can write second equation y=x-4  as: -x+y=-4

Let:

3x-y=6--eq(1)\\ -x+y=-4--eq(2)

Now, Adding equation 1 and 2

3x-y=6\\ -x+y=-4\\--------\\2x+0y=2\\2x=2\\x=\frac{2}{2}\\x=1

So, we get x = 1

Now, put value of x in second equation to find value of y:

y=x-4\\Put\:x=1\\y=1-4\\y=-3

So, we get y = -3

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)
