Answer:

The fraction of the beads that are red is

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic Expressions

A bag contains red (r), yellow (y), and blue (b) beads. We are given the following ratios:

r:y = 2:3

y:b = 5:4

We are required to find r:s, where s is the total of beads in the bag, or

s = r + y + b

Thus, we need to calculate:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b} \qquad\qquad [1]$

Knowing that:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}=\frac{2}{3} \qquad\qquad [2]$

$\displaystyle \frac{y}{b}=\frac{5}{4}$

Multiplying the equations above:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}\frac{y}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{5}{4}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{b}=\frac{5}{6} \qquad\qquad [3]$

Dividing [1] by r:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+y/r+b/r}$

Substituting from [2] and [3]:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+3/2+6/5}$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{10+3*5+6*2}{10}}$

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{10+15+12}$

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{37}$

The fraction of the beads that are red is $\mathbf{\frac{10}{37}}$

4x - 5= 2(2x - 1) -3

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.

Distribute the 2.

4x - 5 = 4x - 2 - 3

Combine like terms

4x - 5 = 4x - 5

Add 5, and subtract 4x.

0 = 0

There are infinitely many solutions, meaning any value plugged in for x will result in the equation being true.

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers y= ?x+ ?

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is 3 because rise over run. Rise is 3 and run is 1. 3/1 is 3. and b= y-intercept and the poiunt wehre the line intercepts the y axis is 3. so your answer is y=3x+3
