The number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let R be the number of red marbles

Let B be the number of blue marbles

According to the question,

R + B = 27 (Total number of marbles is 27 )                 -1

R = 3B - 5 (Number of red marbles is 5 less than 3 times the number of blue marbles )

Substitute the right half of the second equation for R in the first equation

3B - 5 + B = 27

Add 5 to each side and combine the Bs

4B = 32

Divide both sides by 4

B = 8

Use this value of B in the first equation

R + 8 = 27

R = 19

Therefore, number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.

(4x^5 + 3x^2 – x^4) +(6x^2 - 2x^5)
Monica [59]

Answer:

The simplified equation is as follows 2x^5 -x^4 + 9x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parentheses around each equation and pair like exponents together

4x^5 - 2x^5 - x^4 + 3x^2 + 6x^2

Then combine the like terms

2x^5 - x^4 + 9x^2

It is in that order due to the proper form being to go from the highest to lowest exponents in an answer

Determine which elements of S satisfy the inequality
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The elements of S-block elements are 14, so therefore to create an inequality model we declare S to be the unknown variable.

therefore since we have 14 elements we use an inclusive class interval from 1-14. the model is given as

1≤S≥14

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to declare variables before for the unknowns.

you also declare the class interval to be inclusive class interval or exclusive class interval.

Please help with the following question
sasho [114]
  We have:
  The generic equation of the line is:  y-yo = m (x-xo)
  The slope is:
  m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
  m = (- 2-0) / (3-0)
  m = -2 / 3
  We choose an ordered pair
  (xo, yo) = (0, 0)
  Substituting values:
  y-0 = (- 2/3) (x-0)
  Rewriting:
  y = (- 2/3) x
  Answer:
  The equation of the line is:
  y = (- 2/3) x
