Answer:

There are 3 marbles, that we assume are different.

Let's define them as marble 1, marble 2, and marble 3.

a) If the order is important, and we select the 3 marbles, then:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options (because one is already taken)

for the third marble is only one option.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options, so in this case, we have:

C = 3*2*1 = 6 combinations.

Now, if we only select 2 marbles from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options

Here the number of different combinations is:

C = 3*2 = 6 combinations.

And if we select only one marble from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

Then here are only 3 combinations.

the total number of combinations is:

C' = 6 + 6 + 3 = 15 different combinations.

b) If the order is not important, then there is only one combination when we draw the 3 marbles.

When we draw one marble there are 3 combinations (one for each marble)

When we draw two marbles, again there are 3 combinations (one for each marble that we do not draw)

then the total number of combinations in this case is:

C = 1 + 3 + 3 = 7

using the following image. findUsing the attached image, apply what you have lease about linear pairs and solve for x.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear pairs

(4x + 1)  + 75  = 180

Add the like terms

4x +  76 = 180

Subtract 76 from both sides,

4x = 180- 76

4x = 104

Divide both sides by 4

x = 104/4

x = 26

If 9% of a number equals 5, find 36% of that number.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. You can set this up in an algebraic equation:
  2. .09x=5  which translates to 9% times a variable or unknown number equals 5
  3. Divide both sides by .09 which turns to 55.5
  4. Multiply by .36 to find 36% of that number which equals 20
