Answer:

The probability of that happening is 1/22

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the probability, you need to start by finding the probability for each step. The probability of the first one being red is the number of red marbles divided by the total number of marbles.

3 red / 12 total.

3/12

1/4

Now the chance that the second is white is the total number of white marbles divided by how many are left in the bag.

4 white / 11 left

4/11

Lastly, the chance of the last one being blue is the number of blue marbles divided by the amount of total marbles left after two pulls.

5 blue/ 10 left

5/10

1/2

Now to find the overall probability of all 3 happening, we multiply all 3 probabilities together.

1/4 * 4/11 * 1/2 = 1/22

Simplify<br> −6+{14+2[60−9(1+3)]}
ziro4ka [17]
The answer is 56.

I know this because...
<span>-6 + {14 + 2 [60 − 9(1 + 3)]}
-6 + </span>{14 + 2[60 − 9(4)]}
-6 + {14 + 2[60 − 36]}
-6 + {14 + 2[24]}
-6 + {14 + 48}
-6 + {62}
-6 + 62 = 56

prisoha [69]
You have $15 and admission is $5, so you know have $10 before doing any games. If you wanted to play 12 games, you would need $10.20, which you do not have. But, if you wanted to play 11 games, then you would need $9.35, which is just under $10.

So the maximum amount of games that you could play would be 11 games.

Since they're vertical angles, they're equal in degree measure

since they're equal, we can make the two expressions equal to each other

5a - 1 = 2a + 20
add 1 to both sides

5a = 2a + 21
subtract 2a from both sides

3a = 21
divide both sides by 3a

a = 7

now, plug the answer you found for a into one of the two expressions

5a - 1 becomes (5*7) - 1, which equals 34

to double check that they're equivalent (since they're vertical angles)

2a + 20 becomes (2*7) + 20, which equals 34

both angles are 34 degrees!
