Answer:

The equation is (2+x) / 4 = 3

Total amount of chopped vegetables = 10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Meat=2 pounds

Vegetables=x

Mixture= 2+x

She divides the mixture into 4 equal portions

(2+x)/4

Each portion weighs 3 pounds

(2+x)/4=3

Solve the equation

(2+x)/4=3

Cross product

(2+x) = 4 × 3

2+x=12

x=12-2

=10

x=10 pounds

Total amount of chopped vegetables = 10 pounds

a represents the number of students in the art club.

The number of students in a school's math club is ten less than twice the number of students in the art club.

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

cestrela7 [59]

The amount of gas consumed by first and second car were 20 gallons and 15 gallons respectively.

Explanation

Suppose, $x$ gallons of gas were consumed by the first car.

As the total gas consumption in one week is 35 gallons, so the amount of gas consumed by second car will be: $(35-x)$ gallons.

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas.

So, the distance traveled by the first car in $x$ gallons of gas $=35x$ miles and the distance traveled by the second car in $(35-x)$ gallons of gas $=15(35-x)$ miles.

Given that, the two cars went a combined total of 925 miles. So, the equation will be.....

$35x+15(35-x)=925\\ \\ 35x+525-15x=925\\ \\ 20x=925-525=400\\ \\ x=\frac{400}{20}=20$

So, the amount of gas consumed by the first car is 20 gallons and the amount of gas consumed by the second car is: (35 - 20) = 15 gallons.

Let event A = You roll an even number on the first cube.Let event B = You roll a 6 on the second cube.Are the events independent

Gnesinka [82]

The events are independent. By definition, it means that knowledge about one event does not help you predict the second, and this is the case: even if you knew that you rolled an even number on the first cube, would you be more or less confident about rolling a six on the second? No.

An example in which two events about rolling cubes are dependent could be something like:

Event A: You roll the first cube

Event B: The second cube returns a higher number than the first one.

In this case, knowledge on event A does change you view on event B (and vice versa): if you know that you rolled a 6 on the first cube you don't want to bet on event B, while if you know that you rolled a 1 on the first cube, you're certain that event B will happen.

Conversely, if you know that event B has happened, you are more likely to think that the first cube rolled a small number, and vice versa.
