3 0

$x\not=0\\
x-8= -\frac{12}{x}|\cdot x\\
x^2-8x=-12\\
x^2-8x+12=0\\
x^2-6x-2x+12=0\\
x(x-6)-2(x-6)=0\\
(x-2)(x-6)=0\\
x=2 \vee x=6

Jerome is going to draw a marble from the bag shown below, replace it, and then draw another marble. What is the probability tha

alexira [117]

Marbles in a bag: 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue, 8 pink.

Event A - get a green or yellow marble
Event B - get a pink marble

Events A and B are independent because we draw a marble from a bag with 20 marbles in both cases.
$P(A)= \frac{3+4}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{7}{20} 
\\P(B)= \frac{8}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}$

Probability of combined events is
$P(A) \times P(B)=\frac{7}{20} \times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{7}{50}$

53/6=8.833... So rounded=8.8

Median:

List numbers lowest to highest

4, 7, 7, 9, 12, 14

Go to the middle number.

Since it is between 7 and 9, it is 7+9=16. 16/2=8

8 is the median
