The probability of choosing a plain pencil from the first box is 5/8. The probability of choosing a color pencil from the second box is 3/12 which simplifies to 1/4. The probability of picking a plain pencil from the first box and picking a color pencil from the second box is 5/32 because 5/8 * 1/4 is 5/32

Final answer is 5/32 :)

Answer:

y + 1 = 4(x - 2)

y = 4x + 11

8x - 2y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Following equations are parallel to the graph 4x - y = 6, because their slopes are equal (4).

y + 1 = 4(x - 2)

y = 4x + 11

8x - 2y = 6

The length of a rectangle is eight feet more than its width. The area of the rectangle is six hundred nine square feet. What are
vodomira [7]
You can write two equations using the given information:
.. L = W +8
.. L * W = 609
Using substitution, you get a quadratic.
.. (W +8) * W = 609
.. W^2 +8W -609 = 0
Not surprisingly, you're looking for factors of 609 that differ by 8.
.. 609 = 1*609 = 3*203 = 7*87 = 21*29
The last two are the factors of interest.
.. (W +29)(W -21) = 0

The width of the rectangle is 21 feet, the length is 29 feet.

_____
Sometimes it is easier to work with the average dimension. Here, let that be x. Then you have
.. (x +4)(x -4) = 609
.. x^2 -16 = 609
.. x^2 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . . . . one of your memorized math facts
So, the dimensions are
.. 25 +4 = 29 by 25 -4 = 21, that is, 29 ft by 21 ft.
