Answer:

$x = - \frac{2}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify to:

$\frac{2(x - 2)}{7}$

Multiply both sides by 7

2(x-2)=28x

Divide both sides by 2

x-2=14x

Subtract x from both sides

2=14x-x

Simplify 14x-x to 13x

2=13x

Divide both sides by 13

$- \frac{2}{13} = x$

Answer:

$x = - \frac{ 2}{13}$

Suppose an opaque jar contains 3 red marbles and 10 green marbles. The following exercise refers to the experiment of picking tw

kow [346]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Red marbles = 3,

Green marbles = 10,

So, the total marbles = 3 + 10 = 13,

$\because \text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Since, here replacement is not allowed,

Thus, the probability of getting a green marble and a red marble

= first red and second green + first green second red

$=\frac{3}{13}\times \frac{10}{12}+\frac{10}{13}\times \frac{3}{12}$

$=2\times \frac{3}{13}\times \frac{10}{12}$

$=\frac{30}{78}$

$=\frac{5}{13}$

Note : The probability of getting a green marble first and a red marble second

= $\frac{10}{13}\times \frac{3}{12}$

$=\frac{30}{156}$

$=\frac{5}{26}$

Suppose the band sells erasers for $2 per package and pencils for $5 per package. The band sells 220 packages in all and earns a

garik1379 [7]

Let e=erasers and p=pencils. So we know the total amount of erasers plus pencils sold is equal to 220. Therefore,

$e + p = 220$
We also know the cost of erasers and pencils totaled to $695 in earnings and so:

$2e + 5p = 695$
and so those are your two equations.
