Answer:

33.04% probability that exactly five of them are black

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the buttons are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

Five black buttons, from a set of 10

Four brown buttons, from a set of 6.

D = C_{10,5}*C_{6,4} = \frac{10!}{5!(10-5)!}*\frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = 3780

Total outcomes:

Nine buttons, from a set of 16.

T = C_{16,9} = \frac{16!}{9!(16-9)!} = 11440

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{3780}{11440} = 0.3304

33.04% probability that exactly five of them are black

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+9)-4x=11x-13x+23\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(9)-4x=(11x-13x)+23\\\\3x+27-4x=-2x+23\\\\(3x-4x)+27=-2x+23\\\\-x+27=-2x+23\qquad|\text{subtrsact 27 from both sides}\\\\-x=-2x-4\qquad|\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x=-4

Solve for x: -4(x + 10) - 6 = -3(x - 2
evablogger [386]
-4(x+10)-6=-3(x-2)
-4x-40-6=-3x+6
-4x-46=-3x+6
-4x-46+46=-3x+6+46
-4x=-3x+52
-4x+3x=-3x+3x+52
-x=52
(-x/-1)=(52/-1)
x=-52

6x+4y=42 -3x+3y=-6 by elimination
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

x=5, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system, we need to find x and y. First, let's find x. In the first equation (6x+4y=42), subtract 4y on both sides to isolate 6x. This will result in 6x=42-4y. Divide by 6 on both sides to isolate x and get x=7-\frac{2}{3}y. Now we know what x equals. Go to the second equation ad plug this into it. So instead of -3x+3y=-6, you'll have -3(7-\frac{2}{3}y)+3y=-6. Use the distributive property to get -21+2y+3y=-6. Add 2y and 3y to get -21+5y=-6. Add 21 to both sides to isolate 5y and get 5y=15. Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate y and get y=3. Now that we know that y=3, we can plug this back into the equation that was bolded above so that we can find x, so we'll have x=7-\frac{2}{3}(3) since y=3, and we'll get x=7-\frac{6}{3}, or x=7-2, or x=5.

x=5

y=2
