The answer to this equation is 13ft squared
1) first pick red 5/9 blue 4/9
2) second pick when red has been picked red now becomes 4/8, blue stays 4/8
2) Second pick when blue has been picked blue now becomes 3/8, red stays 5/8
Mind you, you only need both different colours so:
first pick red 5/9 x sec pick blue 4/8 = 20/72
and first pick blue 4/9 x sec pick red 5/8 = 20/72
add both up 20/72 + 20/72 = 40/72 = 5/9
let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
Answer:
x= 3/2 or 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, you can take out the parenthesis because 8x is subtracting 2x-3.
8x-2x-3=12
6x-3=12
+3 +3
6x= 15
6x/6= 15/6
x= 3/2 or 1.5
Hope this helps!
Answer:
4w-15
Step-by-step explanation:
For expressions that have "more than/less than" , that number goes AFTER the "whatever a number" statement because that's just how they explain it. I don't remember the exact reason why, but that is how my professor made me remember it, and yes, the order WILL affect the expression since that's a specific topic and I suppose you're being tested on how to make algebraic expressions based on descriptions.
