Probability of having a girl: 1/2
Probability of having another girl right after: 1/2
Probability of having a boy right after: 1/2
Then another boy: 1/2
And a third boy: 1/2

To find compound probabilities, just multiply them together.

\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2*2*2*2*2} =\frac{1}{32} = \boxed{0.031}\ in\ decimal\ form

Rachel has 60 scones. She sells them to Robbie, Cameron, Louis, Tom and Charlie in that order. Each customer buys more scones th
Korvikt [17]
Robbie bought the smallest amount. Let's use x for that amount.
Let's use n for amount that each following customer increases.

We have:
Robbie=x
Cameron=x+n
Louis=x+n+n
Tom=x+n+n+n
Charlie=x+n+n+n+n

We know that they bought total of 60 scones.
Robbie + Cameron + Louis + Tom + Charlie = 60
x + x+n + x+n+n + x+n+n+n + x+n+n+n+n = 60
5x + 10n = 60 /:5
x + 2n = 12

We are also given this information:
(Robbie + Cameron) = 3/7 * (Louis + Tom + Charlie)
We insert the equations from above:
(x + x+n) = 3/7 * (x+n+n + x+n+n+n + x+n+n+n+n) 
2x + n = 3/7 * (3x + 9n) /*7
14x + 7n = 3* (3x + 9n)
14x +7n = 9x + 27n
We take everything on the left side.
14x + 7n - 9x - 27n = 0
5x - 20n = 0/:5
x - 4n = 0

Now we have two equations:
x + 2n = 12
x - 4n = 0
We solve second one for x and insert it into first one.
x + 2n = 12
x = 4n

4n + 2n =12
6n = 12 /:6
n = 2
x=4*2
x=8


Now we can solve for the amount for each customer.
Robbie=x = 8
Cameron=x+n = 8 + 2 = 10
Louis=x+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12
Tom=x+n+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
Charlie=x+n+n+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16

dsp73

Answer:

y = x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line : y =mx + b

m = 1

y = 1x + b

Plugin x = 4 and y =2 in this equation

2 = 1*4 + b

2 -4 = b

b = -2

Equation: y = x  - 2
