Answer: 14/45
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that there is no replacements:
The probability of both pens being red will be represented by P(r), and P(b) and P(g) will represents both being blue and green respectively
P(r) = 5/10 x 4/9 = 2/9
P(b) = 3/10 x 2/9 = 1/15
P(g) = 2/10 x 1/9 = 1/45
Now take all 3 probabilities and add them all together to find the probability that any 2 pen will be the same color
P = P(r) + P(b) + P(g)
P = 2/9 + 1/15 + 1/14
P = 14/45
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
• Suppose the angle is PQR where Q is the midpoint.
• Keep the compass at angle vertex Q and adjust some wide setting (the width is not important).
• Without changing the compass, draw an arc across each leg of the angle
• Now keep the compasses on the point drawn on each leg, and draw an arc in the interior of the angle.
• Using a ruler, draw a line through the vertex to the point where the arcs cross
Answer:
x = 12
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
-2(x - 4) = -16
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute -2: -2x + 8 = -16
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: -2x = -24
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 12
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: -2(12 - 4) = -16
- Subtract: -2(8) = -16
- Multiply: -16 = -16
Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.
∴ x = 12 is a solution of the equation.
Area of a rectangle = length x height
Area = 135
Height = X
Lenght = x +6
135 = x * x+6
Simplify:
135 = x^2 +6x
Subtract 135 from both sides:
x^2 + 6x - 135 = 0
Solve:
2 numbers when added need to equal 6 and when multiplied equal -135
x = 9 and x = -15
The height can't be a negative number so the height is 9
Length = 9 +6 = 15
Height = 9cm, Length = 15 cm
