Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

a/b=3------equation 1

a+b=2-----equation 2

from equation 2

b=2-a

substitute b=2-a in equation 1

a/2-a=3

a=3(2-a)

a=6-3a

a+3a=6

a=6/4

a=3/2

substitute a=3/2 in equation 2

3/2+b=2

3+2b=4

2b=1

b=1/2

a-b=3/2-1/2

a-b=(3-1)/2

a-b=2/2

a-b=1

Explain why in a drawer containing only two different colors of socks one must draw only three socks to find a matching pair
Greeley [361]
As pair means that 2 socks with the same color need to be drawn for it to be identified as a pair.
However there is a probability that if u only pick 2 socks, then they could kid each have different COLORS.
By picking 3 socks (bearing in mind there are only 2 types of color) it’s guaranteed that two socks will have the same color.

2/2 - 7x-4<br> Simplify<br> - 58+4<br> 2x + 1<br> 2-1<br> 2x + 1<br> *+1<br> 2-72
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A or (2x+1)/(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the top of the fraction first.

1. Simplify the numerator.

2x^2 -7x-4=(2x+1)(x-4)

2. Simplify the denominator.

x^2-5x+4=(x-4)(x-1)

Now we have:

((2x+1)(x-4))/((x-4)(x-1))

We see that there is an (x-4) both on the numerator and denominator.

We can remove (x-4) by division.

Doing that, we have:

(2x+1)/(x-1) or A

Graph the inequality below on the number line.<br><br> x&gt;-6
lina2011 [118]

Plot an <u>open hole</u> at -6; shade to the <u>right</u>

The open hole is because we don't include -6 itself.

The shading to the right indicates all numbers larger than -6.
