Answer: d
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of not being purple is the probability of the three other colors. Suppose the number of purple marbles is x. Then we have 20+30+40+x = 90 + x marbles. Then the probability of not being purple is 90/(90+x). If this fraction can have a lowest term for some value of x, then the numerator of this lowest term must be a factor of 90.
Checking through the options, only option D has a non-factor of 90 as its numerator.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3(x - 10) = - 4
1/3x - 10/3 = - 4
1/3x = -4 + 10/3
1/3x = -2/3
x = -2/3 · 3
x = -2

Answer: 22</h3>
===============================================
Explanation:
- x = measure of angle 1 = angle WXY
- 2x = twice the measure of angle 1 = measure of angle 2 = angle YXZ
The two angles mentioned combine to form angle WXZ which is 66 degrees.
angle1+angle2 = angle WXZ
x+2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 66/3
x = 22
Angle 1 is 22 degrees and angle 2 is 22*2 = 44 degrees.
Check:
angle1+angle2 = 22+44 = 66 = angle WXZ
(180-14):2= 166:2= 83° (smaller angle)
(180-14):2+14= 166:2+14= 83+14= 97° (bigger angle)
