<span>3 of the 20 toothbrushes are defective, so the initial probability of selecting a defective toothbrush on the first try is 3/20. After that, there will be 2 defective toothbrushes in the remaining 19, so the probability of selecting one of those on the 2nd try will be 2/19. To get the probability of those two events happening sequentially, we multiply the two probabilities. Thus (3/20)*(2/19) = 6/380 = 0.0157, or about 1.6%.</span>

What is x? I have been having trouble with these
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) =   (whole secant) x (external part)

(6+x) * 6 =(5+x+3) *5

(6+x) * 6 =(x+8) *5

Distribute

36+6x = 5x+40

Subtract 5x from each side

36+6x-5x = 5x-5x+40

36+x = 40

Subtract 36 from each side

36+x-36 = 40-36

x = 4

This is what I've done so far but does anyone know what I do next or did I make a mistake
grigory [225]
Remmeber, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

for inequalities, if you multiply or divide both sides by a negive, flip the direction of the inequality sign

pemdas always applies
but also the commutative property and assiociative property

so
2(5y+13)-6<20
add 6 both sides
2(5y+13)<26
divide both sides by 2 (easier that distributing)
5y+13<13
minus 13 both sides
5y<0
y<0 is the solution
