Answer

7/9 chance to pick a brown sock first and 1/4 chance to get a black sock after

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 9 total socks and 7 are brown so you will have a 7/9 chance to get a brown sock

then if you do get a brown the total number of socks will be 8 in the bag so then you have a 2/8 chance which can be simplified to 1/4

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1) x²+4x=2700

2) 50x50

Step-by-step explanation:

Pony area = x²

line-up area=4x

x²+4x=2700

x²+4x-2700=0

(x-50)(x+54)

So x= 50 or -54.  Since it can’t be a negative number, it must be 50.

CHECK:

Square = 50x50 = 2500

Line up area = 50x4 = 200

2500+200=2700 YES
