This is a special case. If after step two I would've gotten y=something... I would have plugged that new y value into my first equation
Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
For a perfect square each factor is identical.
Now, we have to find a number that adds to get 8.
The only option is (x+4)(x+4). When you distribute, you get x²+8x+16.
Now, we know that the missing number is 16.
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8 shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation a = 3b, where
a = the number of shirts Wanda has
b = the number of shirts Wanda's brother (Will) has
Hence if Wanda has 24 shirts then
24 = 3b
Divide both sides by 3
24/3 = b
b = 8 shirts
Will has 8 shirts.
You can use the formula for conditional probability as Puzzling did. However in this problem it is easier just to restrict yourself and enumerate the cases that are left.
<span>There are 4 jacks. One of them is a heart. So the probability is 1/4. </span>
<span>If you want to look at what the formula for conditional probability does, it adjusts your probability by restricting the "universe". </span>
<span>P(heart and jack)/P(jack) </span>
<span>= (1/52)/(4/52) = 1/4</span>
