Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1/5 of 5x is -1 or just -x and -1/5 of 20 is -4. Then the other one is-1/4 of 4 is -x and -1/4 of -28 is 7. Now combine like terms so -x + -x is -2x and 7+ -4 or 7-4 is 3
Since there are equal numbers of pieces, the chances of Julio getting a red on the first pull is 12/24 or 1/2 (reduced)
However on the second pull there are only 11 reds (Julio pulled one out) out of 23 remaining pieces so the chances of pulling the second red are 11/23
Now multiply those possibilities:
1/2 x 11/23 and you will get 11/46 which is the probability of pulling two reds in a row. 11/46 is the answer.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Completing the square</u>
when 
Given equation:

Subtract 40 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 3:

Add the square of half the coefficient of
to both sides:


Factor the left side and simplify the right side:

Square root both sides:

Add 4 to both sides and simplify the radical:



Oh it helps because a zero could count as a number when you write it down but it doesn't seem that way when u say it
