5x = 2x + 9, where 5x > 0 and 2x + 9 > 0 ;
Then, 3x = 9 ;
Then, x = 3 ;
Verify : 5 × 3 = 2 × 3 + 9 ;correct !
5 × 3 > 0 ; correct !
2 × 3 + 9 > 0; correct !

Answer:</h3>
1/17 or 0.0588 (without replacement)
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To answer this question we need to know the following about a deck of cards
- A deck of cards contains 4 of each card (4 Aces, 4 Kings, 4 Queens, etc.)
- Also there are 4 suits (Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades).
- Additionally, there are 13 cards in each suit (Clubs/Spades are black, Hearts/Diamonds are red)
.
In this case, we are required to determine the probability of choosing two diamonds.
- There are 13 diamonds in the deck.
- Assuming, the cards were chosen without replacement;
P(Both cards are diamonds) = P(first card is diamond) × P(second card is diamond)
P(First card is diamond) = 13/52
If there was no replacement, then after picking the first diamond card, there are 12 diamond cards remaining and a total of 51 cards remaining in the deck.
Therefore;
P(Second card is diamond) = 12/51
Thus;
P(Both cards are diamonds) = 13/52 × 12/51
= 156/2652
= 1/17 or 0.0588
Hence, the probability of choosing two diamonds at random (without replacement) is 1/17 or 0.0588.
Answer:
We set up 2 equations
A) C + A = 100
B) 5C + 12A = 780
We multiply A by -5
A) -5C -5A = -500 then we add B
B) 5C + 12A = 780
7A = 280
Number of Adults = 40
5C = 780 - 40*12
5C = 780 -480
5C = 300
Number of Children = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Roses: 22
Daisies: 12
Carnation: 16
22 + 12 + 16 = 50 flowers in one bouquet
The ratio of the roses to the total number of flowers in the bouquet is 22/50 or simplified to 11/25
Ratio of daisies to carnations is 12:16 or 3:4.
Number of carnations to add to make the ratio into 1:3
12:x = 1:3
12*3 = x
36 = x
36 - 16 = 20 additional carnations.
There must be an additional 20 carnations to make the ratio of daisies to carnation 1:3.
12:36 = 1:3
