The probability of selecting a yellow marble is #of yellow marbles/total # of marbles= 6/30 or .2 or 20%
If there are 300 marbles in the bag, a good estimate for the total number of red marbles in the bag is 90.
9/30=.3 = the percentage of red marbles
.3(300) = 90
8 = 4w/3 Original Problem.
4w/3 = 8 Flip Flopped the problem around.
4w = 24 Multiplied each side by 3.
w = 6 Divided each side by 4.
Answer: w = 6
Question 9
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the ray NM is the segment bisector XY
so
NM divides the segment XY into two equal parts
XM = MY
given
XM = 3x+1
MY = 8x-24
so substituting XM = 3x+1 and MY = 8x-24 in the equation
XM = MY
3x+1 = 8x-24
8x-3x = 1+24
5x = 25
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
so the value of x = 5
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 3x+1 + 8x-24
= 11x - 23
substituting x = 5
= 11(5) - 23
= 55 - 23
= 32
Therefore,
The length of the segment = 32 units
Question 10)
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the line n is the segment bisector XY
so
The line divides the segment XY into two equal parts at M
XM = MY
given
XM = 5x+8
MY = 9x+12
so substituting XM = 5x+8 and MY = 9x+12 in the equation
XM = MY
5x+8 = 9x+12
9x-5x = 8-12
4x = -4
divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -4/4
x = -1
so the value of x = -1
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 5x+8 + 9x+12
= 14x + 20
substituting x = 1
= 14(-1) + 20
= -14+20
= 6
Therefore,
The length of the segment XY = 6 units
Answer:
X=-1
Y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-12y
-18
) 6x + 4y
-
-2
Subtract the two equations
6x - 12y - (6x + 4y) = -18 - (-2)
Determine the sign
6x- 12y - 6x- 4y
=-18 + 2
Simplify
-12y
- Ay
=-18 + 2
Solve the equation
Substitute
6×+4
-2
Solve the equation
X=
