A friend makes three pancakes for breakfast. One of the pancakes is burned on both sides, one is burned on only one side, and th

e other is not burned on either side. You are served one of the pancakes at random, and the side facing you is burned. What is the probability that the other side is burned? (Hint: Use conditional probability.)

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that one side of the pancake is burned. The pancake you were served cannot be the one that is not burned on either side. Therefore, you were either served the pancake burned on both sides, or the pancake that was only burned in one side. Thus, there is a 50% percent chance that the other side is also burned.

Solve for x: 4x - 8 = 7x - 2<br>Anyone know the answer for this one?<br>Thanks!

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \tt{x = - 2}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{ \underline{ \mathfrak{Let's \: solve}}} :$

$\star{ \sf{ \: \: 4x - 8 = 7x - 2}}$

$\text{Step \: 1} : \sf{Move \: 7x \: to \: left \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{4x - 7x - 8 = - 2}}$

$\text{Step \: 2} : \sf{Move \: 8 \: to \: right \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{4x - 7x = - 2 + 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 3} : \sf{Collect \: like \: terms}$

$\sf{Like \: terms \: are \: those \: which \: have \: same \: base}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 3x = - 2 + 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 4} : \sf{Calculate}$

$\underline{ \text{Remember!}} : \sf{The \: negative \: and \: positive \: integers \: are \: always \: subtracted \: but \: posses \: the \: sign \: of \: the \: bigger \: integer.}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 3x = 6}}$

$\text{Step \: 4} : \sf{Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 3}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{6}{ - 3}}}$

$\text{ Step \: 4} : \sf{Calculate}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{x = - 2}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

A baker has 10 cups of sugar to make cookies.

marin [14]

That would be 7 and a half. 7 1/2. You can make seven and a half batches of cookies if the recipe calls for 1 1/3 cups of sugar each and a baker has 10 cups of sugar.

Which of the following is equal to the expression listed above?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$(14 + 7) + 12 = 14 + (7 + 12)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(14 + 7) + 12$ --- [Missing in question]

Required

Select equivalent expression

$(14 + 7) + 12$

Associative property states that:

$(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)$

In this case:

$a = 14$

$b = 7$

$c = 12$

So, we have:

$(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)$

$(14 + 7) + 12 = 14 + (7 + 12)$

B. is correct

#5 of the way to solve it?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Put 12/100 and see how many times 100 can go into 300 and the number you multiplied multiply that number by 12.
