Answer:
x^2+3x+2x+1 is meant to be x^2 +5x+1
To perform the correct operation as to subtract numbers, make sure the denominators are the same, and then one can then subtract and remove a smaller number from the larger one.
This same method also holds true for adding fractions together as well.
Another way to subtract fractions is to convert them from fraction form to decimal form and then align the decimal points and subtract the values.
P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21
P(black socks without replacing): 23/41. As a result, the probability of randomly picking 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861 or 32%. Hope it help!
