Mathematics

Start with

-2x-4 < 3x+21

Add 2x to both sides:

-4 < 5x+21

Subtract 21 from both sides:

-25 < 5x

Divide both sides by 5. Since it is positive, we don't have to change the inequality sign:

-5 < x

So, the answer is x > -5

Answer:

16.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are initially 24 + 15 + 8 = 47 pencils in the bag.

Take a pencil out of this bag of 47 pencils. 15 out of the 47 pencils blue. Let A represent the event of getting a blue pencil on the first pick. The probability of getting a blue pencil is:

\displaystyle P(A) = \frac{15}{47}.

There are now 47 - 1 = 46 pencils left in the bag. However, given that the first pencil removed from the bag is blue, the number of red pencils in the bag will still be 24. Take another pencil out of this bag of 46 pencils. Let B represent the event of getting a red pencil on the second pick. The possibility that the second pencil is red given that the first pencil is blue will be:

\displaystyle P(B|A) = \frac{24}{46}.

The question is asking for the possibility that the first pencil is blue and the second pencil is red. That is:

\displaystyle P(A\cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B|A) = \frac{15}{47}\times \frac{24}{46} = 0.166512 \approx 16.7\%.

How to estimate $3472 ÷ 680 and solve problem
alisha [4.7K]
If you'd estimate the numbers, it would be $3500÷700. Because if you look at the tenths place, if the number is higher than 5, than the first digit goes up.
$3500÷700=5
Im not very good at explaining.
