Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The chances of the first student walking to school is 7/30.
Without replacement, there are 29 students left. Hence the chance of the second student walking to school is 6/29 of the original 7/30 chance.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Red : Blue :
3 8
We have 40 blue marbles
Multiply 8 by what to get 40
40/8 =5
So we need to multiply by 5
Red : Blue :
3*5 8*5
15 40
There are 15 red marbles
It’s 42 but Carrier the 2
5x = 20...where x = number of months
x = 20/5
x = 4...it would take Tom 4 months to save $20
Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve
3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
| x - 2 | = 4
The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus
x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 6
OR
- (x - 2) = 4
- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 2
As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions
x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6
