First you need to find your total amount of marbles and this number will be your denominator (on the bottom).

8 + 14 + 12 = 34

Then you see how many black marbles are in the bag and this number will be your numerator (on the top).

The probability Jose will pick a black marble is 8/34 but you always reduce your fractions so the correct answer is 4/17.

Hey there! I"m happy to help!

The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180. We have 2 angles that have a value of x, so 2x+138=180.

We subtract 138 from both sides.

2x=42

We divide both sides by 2

x=21.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Hello!

We have the following data:

a1 (first term or first year salary) = 32000

r (ratio or annual increase) = 300

n (number of terms or each year worked)

We apply the data in the Formula of the General Term of an Arithmetic Progression, to find in sequence the salary increases until it exceeds 34700, let us see:

formula:

$a_n = a_1 + (n-1)*r$

* second year salary

$a_2 = a_1 + (2-1)*300$

$a_2 = 32000 + 1*300$

$a_2 = 32000 + 300$

$\boxed{a_2 = 32300}$

* third year salary

$a_3 = a_1 + (3-1)*300$

$a_3 = 32000 + 2*300$

$a_3 = 32000 + 600$

$\boxed{a_3 = 32600}$

* fourth year salary

$a_4 = a_1 + (4-1)*300$

$a_4 = 32000 + 3*300$

$a_4 = 32000 + 900$

$\boxed{a_4 = 32900}$

* fifth year salary

$a_5 = a_1 + (5-1)*300$

$a_5 = 32000 + 4*300$

$a_5 = 32000 + 1200$

$\boxed{a_5 = 33200}$

We note that after the first five years, Mr. Browns' salary has not yet surpassed 34700, let's see when he will exceed the value:

* sixth year salary

$a_6 = a_1 + (6-1)*300$

$a_6 = 32000 + 5*300$

$a_6 = 32000 + 1500$

$\boxed{a_6 = 33500}$

* seventh year salary

$a_7 = a_1 + (7-1)*300$

$a_7 = 32000 + 6*300$

$a_7 = 32000 + 1800$

$\boxed{a_7 = 33800}$

* eighth year salary

$a_8 = a_1 + (8-1)*300$

$a_8 = 32000 + 7*300$

$a_8 = 32000 + 2100$

$\boxed{a_8 = 34100}$

* ninth year salary

$a_9 = a_1 + (9-1)*300$

$a_9 = 32000 + 8*300$

$a_9 = 32000 + 2400$

$\boxed{a_9 = 34400}$

* tenth year salary

$a_{10} = a_1 + (10-1)*300$

$a_{10} = 32000 + 9*300$

$a_{10} = 32000 + 2700$

$\boxed{a_{10} = 34700}$

we note that in the tenth year of salary the value equals but has not yet exceeded the stipulated value, only in the eleventh year will such value be surpassed, let us see:

* eleventh year salary

$a_{11} = a_1 + (11-1)*300$
