This works out beautifully. You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it. If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2). Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.
6 = 2(x+8) - 5x
⇒ 2x+ 2*8 -5x= 6
⇒ (2x -5x)+ 16= 6
⇒ -3x = 6 -16
⇒ -3x = -10
⇒ x= -10/(-3)
⇒ x= 10/3
⇒ x= 3 1/3
The correct answer is B. 3 1/3~
Answer:
1a. p0= 0.714
1b The result is not reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected
Step-by-step explanation:
1a.Since One sample of offspring contained 376 green peas and 150 yellow peas therefore the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green will be:
Green pea/(Green pea+ Yellow pea)
p0= 376 /(376+150)
p0=376/526
Probability of getting Green pea = 0.714
1b.The result is not reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected.
