Answer:

x = 60.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number

x - 54%x = 28

x - 0.54x = 28

0.46x = 28

Divide both sides by 0.46(coefficient of x)

x = 28/0.46

x = 60.86

to the nearest tenth

x = 60.9

Suppose that an urn contains 3 black marbles, 7 yellow marbles, and 10 green marbles. If one marble is selected, determine the p

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple probability is a ratio of the number of ways the thing we want to happen can to the total possible outcomes.

(For example, we flip a coin and want heads, but it can land on heads or tails. Our probability of getting heads is 1/2, one way to get heads over the 2 possible outcomes)

So for this problem, there's 20 possible things that CAN happen (3 + 7 + 10) and 10 ways we get what we want (a green marble).

Our probability of getting a green marble is $\frac{10}{20\\}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$

Find the equivalent expression 9 ( 2a + 1

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Equivalent expression of $9(2a+1)$ is, $18a+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

$a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

Given the expression: $9(2a+1)$

Apply the distributive property:

$9 \cdot (2a) +9 \cdot 1$

Simplify:

$18a+9$

Therefore, the equivalent expression of $9(2a+1)$ is, $18a+9$
