<h3>Answer: 6a</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Solve the first equation for b

a/b = 6/7

7a = 6b ... cross multiply

6b = 7a

b = 7a/6 ... divided both sides by 6

------

Solve the second equation for c

a/c = 2/5

5a = 2c

2c = 5a

c = 5a/2

------

We found that

b = 7a/6
c = 5a/2

both are in terms of a

So,

3b+c = 3(7a/6) + 5a/2

3b+c = 21a/6 + 5a/2

3b+c = 7a/2 + 5a/2

3b+c = (7a+5a)/2

3b+c = 12a/2

3b+c = 6a

Suppose you choose a marble from a bag containing 3 red marbles, 5 white marbles, and 4 blue marbles. You return the first marbl

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

P(red and blue) = 0.1667

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent choosing a red marble, there are 3 red marbles

Let B represent choosing a blue marble, there are 4 blue marbles

There are 12 total marbles

Then...

P(A) = 3/12

P(B) = 4/12

choosing the first one, then replacing means the first choice has no effect on the probabilities of the second choice, so the situation is independent.

When calculating the probability of independent events, you multiply the probabilities together. There are 2 scenarios where we can get a red and blue marble..

Choosing a red, then a blue marble, the probability is

(3/12)( 4/12) = 12/144 = 1/12

Choosing a blue, then a red marble, the probability is

(4/12)(3/12) = 12/144 = 1/12

So we have a

(1/12) + (1/12) = 2/12 = 1/6 chance for that to happen, to

P(A and B) = 1/6 = 0.1667

A cell phone company offers a contract that costs $14.99 plus $0.06 per minute. Find the total number of minutes used if the bil

sattari [20]

Answer:

87 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of minutes = m

Our equation is given as:

$20.21 = $14.99 + 0.06m

20.21 = 14.99 + 0.06m

Collect like terms

0.06m= 20.21 - 14.99

0.06m = 5.22

m = 5.22/0.06

m = 87

Therefore, the total number rod minutes used is 87 minutes
