HELPPPPP! Tamlin collects action figures and has 2 more female action figures than male action figures. He chooses two action fi

gures randomly. Write and simplify an expression that represents the probability that Tamlin will pick two female action figures without replacing the first action figure. Let x be the number of male action figures.

Answer:

x+2/2(2x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tamlin has x male action figures and x + 2 female action figures, so a total of x + x + 2, or 2x + 2 action figures. The probability of picking two female action figures without replacement is equal to the product of the probability of

-picking 1 female action figure from the total number and

-picking 1 female action figure after 1 has been removed.

The probability of picking 1 female action figure from the total is equal to the total number of female action figures divided by the total number of action figures.

The probability of picking 1 female action figure after 1 has been removed is equal to the total number of female action figures minus 1 divided by the total number of action figures minus 1.

Multiply these two expressions and simplify.

(2x + 3y = 12) x (-2)
(4x - 3y = 6) x 1

-4x - 6y = -24
4x - 3y = 6

You can cancel out the x values by adding the two equations together. 
(-4x + 4x) + (-6y - 3y) = (-24 + 6)
-9y = -18
y = 2

Solve for x now...
4x - 3(2) = 6
4x - 6 = 6
4x = 12
x = 3

Check... (x = 3, y = 2)
2(3) + 3(2) = 12 
6 + 6 = 12
12 = 12 <- this works! 

4(3) - 3(2) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 <- this works!

A line has x-intercept of 6 and y-intercept of -4.Find the slope of the line.
Zigmanuir [339]

x-intercept is 6, coordinates (6,0)

y-intercept -4, coordinates (0,-4)

gradient= y1-y2/x1-x2= 0-(-4)/6-0= 4/6= 2/3 or 0.667 (3.s.f.)

Bob and Dave go to PizzaScoff. Starting with 35 pizzas, Bob eats 6 4/5 pizzas and Dave eats 8 1/3 pizzas. How many are left?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

19.87 Pizzas are left

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, just take 35 the number of starting pizzas and then subtract the number pizzas both of them consumed. So, 35 - 6.8 given 4/5 converts to 0.8 this leaves use with Bob's pizza consumption only at 28.2 pizza's left. Next, we are going to take 28.2 - 8.33 given 1/3 is .3333 repeating this then gives us the answer with having 19.87 pizzas left - although if it asks how many whole pizzas you would say 28 given you can't have .87 of a pizza.
