Lets get started :)
We can cross multiply, to find the value of x
3x = 7 x 5
3x = 35
We have to divide by 3 on either sides to isolate x
3 and 3 cancels out
x =
Then, x +
( 7 divided by 7 is 1)
+ 1 =
We can find the number of extra clubs in the deck from the given probability, since the probability of drawing a diamond and a club is
but this would imply that
, which suggests we're taking 4 clubs out of the original deck and contradicts the problem statement that there are "too many clubs".
Perhaps the question is providing the probability of drawing a diamond, THEN a club, or vice versa. In that case, we have
and solving gives
, which makes more sense. Then the number of extra spades in the deck must be 2.
Answer:
yes, y=2x-3 is linear
2x - y = 3 Standard Form
Step-by-step explanation:
since both the 'x' and 'y' variables have one as their exponents then this represents a linear equation
standard form: Ax + By = C
y = 2x - 3
subtract 2x from each side to get:
-2x + y = -3
divide each term by -1 to get (this is done so the leading coefficient is not negative)
2x - y = 3 Standard Form
I think it would be conditional, because B depends on A. Of A is false, then B isn’t possible, making it conditional.
