Answer:

There are 15 mechanical pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the probability of drawn a mechanical pencil from a larger group is given by the quotient of the number of mechanical pencils divided the total number of pencils in the sample.

so that means:

P=\frac{x}{25} \\

being x the number of mechanical pencils and 25 the total of all pencils in the sample. Since they give as P as 3/5, we can solve for the number of mechanical pencils (x) using the equation:

P=\frac{x}{25} \\\\\frac{3}{5} =\frac{x}{25}\\x=\frac{3\,*\,25}{5} \\x=15

So there are 15 mechanical pencils in the sample.

a rectangle has a perimeter of 22 feet. the width is 5 feet less than the length. find the length and width of the rectangle​
alexira [117]

Answer:

the length is 8ft

the width is 3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

perimter= 22ft

let the length be x

width = x-5

Step two

the expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2L+2W

substituting our data

22= 2(x)+2(x-5)

open brackets

22=2x+2x-10

collect terms and solve for x

22+10=4x

32=4x

divide both sides by 4

x= 32/4

x= 8ft

the length is 8ft

the width = x-5= 8-5= 3ft

True:

3rd One

4th One

False: All of the others.

It's a straight line, so it is going to have straight qualities and straight inequalities throughout the graph.
