Answer:

Shira: x = 8

Samuel: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.

Correct Solving:

2x - 2 = 14

Add 2 to both sides;

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2;

x = 8

Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.

Correct Solving:

-2(8m + 8) = -16

Distribute;

-16m - 16 = -16

Add 16 to both sides;

-16m = 0

Divide both sides by -16;

m = 0

Carlos and Maria drove a total of 233 miles in 4.4 hours. Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 55 miles per hour
Mandarinka [93]
Let x - hours Carlos drove ; Let y - hours Maria drove

Equation 1: x + y = 4.4
x = 4.4 - y

Equation 2: 55x + 50y = 233
55(4.4 - y) + 50y = 233
242 - 55y + 50y = 233
-5y = 233-242
-5y = -9
y=9/5 or 1.8 hours Maria drove

To find time Carlos drove:
x=4.4 - 1.8
x = 2.6 hours

A basket contains four apples, three peaches, and four pears. You randomly select and eat three pieces of fruit. The first piece
Artist 52 [7]
We have 4 apples, 3 peaches, and  4 pears.
The sample size is 11.

1st selection: apple
The probability of selecting an apple is 4/11.

2nd selection: peach
We now have a sample size of 10, which consists of 3 apples, 3 peaches, and 4 pears.
The probability of selecting a peach is 3/10.

3rd selection: peach
We now have a sample size of 9, which consists of 3 apples, 2 peaches, and 4 pears.
The probability of selecting a peach is 2/9.

Each selection was an independent event. Therefore the overall probability is
(4/11)*(3/10)*(2/9) = 4/165

Answer:
The probability of selecting an apple followed by 2 peaches is 4/165.
 This probability is equivalent to 0.024 or 2.4%.
