x=x

y=x+8

Two cards will be dealt off the top of a well-shuffled deck. You have a choice:
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

i. is the better option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability first is a King = 4/52 = 1/13.

The probability second is a Queen = 4/51.

The probability first is a King and second is a Queen = 1/13 *4/51 =  4/663.

So there is a much betert chance  to bet just that the first one is a King

Paloma used these steps to solve the equation 6x+5=3(2x+1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 2=0?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The equation is false and has no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 5 = 3(2x + 1)


Distributive property.


6x + 5 = 6x + 3


Cancel like terms.


5 = 3


Subtract 3 from both sides.


2 ≠ 0


The equation is false and has no solutions.


This means that these two lines never cross, and thus there is no common solution.

How do you write the solution using interval notation 4z+6.1 is greater than or equal to 43.7 -4z
SOVA2 [1]
4z+6.1≥43.7-4z
add 4z on both sides  -   8z+6.1≥43.7
subtract 6.1 on both sides   -    8z≥37.6
divide by 8 on both sides    -    v≥4.7
