Y=6 In this equation you also use combine like terms .
The answer should be D since after 5 am to 7 am only two hours have passed so x=2, and then you plug in the x as 2 and solve it. You might get not around answer like 39.785 but when you round it, it would be 40.
1) Our marbles will be blue, red, and green. You need two fractions that can be multiplied together to make 1/6. There are two sets of numbers that can be multiplied to make 6: 1 and 6, and 2 and 3. If you give the marbles a 1/1 chance of being picked, then there's no way that a 1/6 chance can be present So we need to use a 1/3 and a 1/2 chance. 2 isn't a factor of 6, but 3 is. So we need the 1/3 chance to become apparent first. Therefore, 3 of the marbles will need to be one colour, to make a 1/3 chance of picking them out of the 9. So let's say 3 of the marbles are green. So now you have 8 marbles left, and you need a 1/2 chance of picking another colour. 8/2 = 4, so 4 of the marbles must be another colour, to make a 1/2 chance of picking them. So let's say 4 of the marbles are blue. We know 3 are green and 4 are blue, 3 + 4 is 7, so the last 2 must be red.
The problem could look like this:
A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 green marbles. What are the chances she will pick 1 blue and 1 green marble?
You should note that picking the blue first, then the green, will make no difference to the overall probability, it's still 1/6. Don't worry, I checked
2) a - 2% as a probability is 2/100, or 1/50. The chance of two pudding cups, as the two aren't related, both being defective in the same packet are therefore 1/50 * 1/50, or 1/2500.
b - 1,000,000/2500 = 400
400 packages are defective each year
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2^x
Let f(x) =8
8 = 2^x
Rewriting 8 as 2^3
2^3 = 2^x
The bases are the same so the exponents are the same
3=x
1600<2570-125.5x<2000 subtract 2570 from all terms...
-970<-125.5x<-570 divide all terms by -125.5 (and reverse signs because of division by a negative!)
7.73>x>4.54 and x is months since January, and since months can only be integers...
x=[5,7]
So January + 5, 6, and 7 respectively are the three months that satisfy the equation...
June, July, and August.
