<h3>Answer: 5/51</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

We have 6 green out of 6+6+6 = 18 total

The probability of getting green is 6/18 = 1/3.

After selecting that green jelly bean and not putting it back, we have 6-1 = 5 green out of 18-1 = 17 total.

The probability of selecting another green is 5/17.

Multiply the two fractions 1/3 and 5/17

(1/3)*(5/17) = (1*5)/(3*17) = 5/51

The probability of selecting two greens in a row is 5/51 where we do not put the first selection back. We also do not replace the green jelly bean with some other identical copy.

Note: 5/51 = 0.098039 approximately

If the legs of a right triangle are x, (2x - 1) and its hypotenuse is (2x + 1), what is the value of x?​
Ber [7]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)

(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1

4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1

0= x²-8x

x²-8x=0

x²=8x

x=8
