Frank solved an equation and got the result x = x. Sarah solved the same equation and got 12 = 12. Frank says that one of them i

s incorrect because you cannot get different results for the same equation. What would you say to Frank? If both results are indeed correct, explain how this happened.

Frank is incorrect. 
They could have solved the same equations and got what seems like different answers, however both the answers of x = x, and 12 = 12 mean that the equation has an infinite amount of solutions, or that the answer is all real numbers.

This could have happened because Sarah and Frank may have approached the same equation in different ways, meaning that one simplified or solved the equation with a different, but still correct, strategy.

Hope this helps! :)

A bowl of buttons contains 10 MAGA [MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN] buttons, 5 GND [GREEN NEW DEAL] buttons and 10 NAW [NEVER A WALL]
kondaur [170]

Answer:

a) Probability of picking Two MAGA buttons without replacement = 0.15

b) Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in that order = 0.0833

Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in with the order unimportant = 0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

10 MAGA [MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN] buttons, 5 GND [GREEN NEW DEAL] buttons and 10 NAW [NEVER A WALL] buttons.

Total number of buttons = 10 + 5 + 10 = 25

Let probability of picking a MAGA button be P(M) = 10/25 = 0.4

Probability of picking a GND button be P(G) = 5/25 = 0.2

Probability of picking a NAW button be P(N) = 10/25 = 0.4

a) Probability of picking Two MAGA buttons without replacement = (10/25) × (9/24) = 3/20 = 0.15

b) Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in that order = (10/25) × (5/24) = 1/12 = 0.0833

Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in with the order unimportant = [(10/25) × (5/24)] + [(5/25) × (10/24)] = 1/6 = 0.167

Find the slope-intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through (–1, 2) and is parallel to y = 2x – 3.
sammy [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut point with the y axis.

By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be m = 2.

y = 2x + b

We substitute the given point to find b:

2 = 2 (-1) + b\\2 = -2 + b\\2 + 2 = b\\b = 4

Finally the line is:

y = 2x + 4

Answer:

y = 2x + 4
