Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

use distribution

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4

simplify

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

combine like terms

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

-3x                -3x

3 = -5x - 2

+2         +2

5 = -5x

/-5     /-5

-1 = x

Answer:

x = -2.2

x = -2 if rounded

Step-by-step explanation:

use distribution

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4

simplify

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

combine like terms

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

-3x                -3x

3 = -5x - 2

+2         +2

5 = -5x

/-5     /-5

write the point slope form of the equation for a line that passes through the point 3, 1 and is parallel to the line y=3x+3
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

y=3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel to y=3x+3, that would mean that they would have the same slope of 3. Then, once you plug it back into the equation along with the point given, you would get 1=3(3)+b. Solve from there, and you get b= -8. In conclusion, your point slope formula comes out to be y=3x-8.

Hope this helps! :)

Margarita [4]

Answer:A)0.27

B)0.78

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the probability of picking 2balls of same color.

P(RR)+Pr(WW)+Pr(BB)

3/10×2/9+4/10× 3/10+3/10 ×2/9=6/90+12/90+6/90=

24/90=4/15=0.27

B)if the first ball is not returned, then there are 9 balls left.

Then probability of same color will be

PrB+PrW+PrR

2/9+3/9+2/9=

7/9=0.78

A farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm. After he sold 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The farmer have at first <u>202</u> chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm. After he sold 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as ducks left.

Now, to find the chickens farmer have at first.

Let the chickens be x.

And, the ducks be y.

<em>As, the farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm.</em>

So, x=2y    ......(1)

<em>As, given the farmer after selling 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as ducks left.</em>

According to question:

x-166=(y-29)\times \frac{1}{2}

x-166=\frac{y-29}{2}

Substituting the value of x from equation (1) we get:

2y-166=\frac{y-29}{2}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

4y-332=y-29

<em>Adding both sides 332 we get:</em>

4y=y+303

<em>Subtracting both sides by </em>y<em> we get:</em>

3y=303

<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>

y=101.

Now, to get the number of chickens substituting the value of y in equation (1):

x=2y\\\\x=2\times 101\\\\x=202.

Therefore, the farmer have at first 202 chickens.
