Answer:

The probability of picking a yellow marble is 2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to know the total number of marbles that are in the bag. To do this, we will have to add up all the marble colors together.

This will give us 6 + 2 +4+ 1 = 13 marbles in total.

The next step is to find the number of yellow marbles in the bag.

We can get this from the question. There are 2 yellow marbles in the bag.

The probability of selecting a yellow marble can be obtained by dividing the number of yellow marbles by the total number of marbles in the bag

This will give us 2/13.

Therefore, the probability of picking a yellow marble is 2/13

Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. What is the value of y? {3x+2y=12{5x−y=7 A) y = -3B) y = 3C) y = -2
Vlad [161]

<em>Answer</em>

B) y = 3

<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>

Given the system of equations:

\begin{gathered} 3x+2y=12\text{ \lparen eq. 1\rparen} \\ 5x-y=7\text{ \lparen eq. 2\rparen} \end{gathered}

Isolating x from equation 1:

\begin{gathered} 3x+2y-2y=12-2y \\ 3x=12-2y \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12-2y}{3} \\ x=\frac{12}{3}-\frac{2}{3}y \\ x=4-\frac{2}{3}y\text{ \lparen eq. 3\rparen} \end{gathered}

Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

\begin{gathered} 5(4-\frac{2}{3}y)-y=7 \\ 5\cdot4-5\cdot\frac{2}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{10}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y-20=7-20 \\ -\frac{13}{3}y=-13 \\ (-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-\frac{13}{3}y=(-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-13 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}

Suppose you deposit $1,200 into a bank account. The account earns yearly simple interest at a rate of 1 3/4%. How many years wil
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1.75% of 1,200 = 21

so 1 year= 21

21+21= 42         2 years

42+21=63           3 years

63+21=84            4 years

81+21=105             5 years

105+21=126            6 years

Or you can do

21x6=126 so it has to equal 6 years

(4 pts) If a rock is thrown vertically upward from the surface of Mars with an initial velocity of 15m/sec
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I see you're in college math, so we'll solve this with calculus, since it's the easiest way anyway.

The position equation is

s(t)=-1.86t^2+15t  That equation will give us the height of the rock at ANY TIME during its travels. I could find the height at 2 seconds by plugging in a 2 for t; I could find the height at 12 seconds by plugging in a 12 for t, etc.

The first derivative of position is velocity:

v(t) = -3.72t + 15 and you stated that the rock will be at its max height when the velocity is 0, so we plug in a 0 for v(t):

0 = -3.72t + 15 and solve for t:\

-15 = -3.72t so

t = 4.03 seconds. This is how long it takes to get to its max height. Knowing that, we can plug 4.03 seconds into the position equation to find the height at 4.03 seconds:

s(4.03) = -1.86(4.03)² + 15(4.03) so

s(4.03) = 30.2 meters.

Calculus is amazing. Much easier than most methods to solve problems like this.

I need the answer help<br>​
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

the second one(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you pretend 20 is x, you solve the equation by pluging in x (20) into the equation and it gives you 70, 70 is what the big part is and 70+20 is 90, which is the size of a 90degree side.

4(20)-10

80-10

70

70+20=90

What is the probality of rolling a sum of 5 if two regular 6 -sides number cubes are rolled
Dmitry [639]

Each die has six numbers, the total number of possible combinations is 6 * 6 = 36


The combinations in which you can get a sum of 5 are:  1 &4, 2 & 3, 4 &1, 3 &2

There are 4 different combinations of getting a sum of 5.


The probability would be 4/36, which reduces to 1/9
