The algebraic equation for small and large marbles are y=5x and z=3x+2. The number of small marbles is 310.The number of small marbles is 310.The number of large marbles is 188.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the given information, Amy has three sizes of marbles.

Let x represents the medium marbles, y as small marbles and z as large marbles.

The number of small marbles she has is 5 times more than medium marbles. Then the algebraic equation for small marbles:

⇒ y = 5x.

The number of large marbles she has is two more than three times. Then the algebraic equation for large marbles:

⇒ z=3x+2.

And the sum of three marbles is 560.

∴x+y+z=560.

To find each number of marbles, substitute the algebraic equation of y and z in the above equation.

⇒x+5x+3x+2=560.

9x+2=560.

9x= 560-2.

9x=558.

x= 62.

∴The number of medium marbles is 62.

The number of small marbles y = 5x.

⇒y= 5(62)

y= 310.

∴The number of small marbles is 310.

The number of large marbles z = 3x+2.

⇒z= 3(62)+2

z=  186+2.

z=188.

∴The number of large marbles is 188.

Answer:

The last listed functional expression:

\left \{ {x+1\,\,\,\,{x\geq 2} \atop {x+2 \,\,\,\,x

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to notice that the two linear expressions that render such graph are parallel lines (same slope), and that the one valid for the left part of the domain, crosses the y-axis at the point (0,2), that is y = 2 when x = 0. On the other hand, if you prolong the line that describes the right hand side of the domain, that line will cross the y axis at a lower position than the previous one (0,1), that is y=1 when x = 0. This info gives us what the y-intercepts of the equations should be (the constant number that adds to the term in x in the equations: in the left section of the graph, the equation should have "x+2", while for the right section of the graph, the equation should have x+1.

It is also important to understand that the "solid" dot that is located in the region where the domain changes, (x=2) belongs to the domain on the right hand side of the graph, So, we are looking for a function definition that contains x+1 for the function, for the domain: x\geq 2.

Such definition is the one given last (bottom right) in your answer options.

\left \{ {x+1\,\,\,\,{x\geq 2} \atop {x+2 \,\,\,\,x

A basketball player has a 50% chance of making each free-throw. What is the probability that the player makes at least 11 out of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

100/2048=0.048828125%

Step-by-step explanation:

He has a 50% chance of making each free-throw, so 1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/(2^11)=1/2048

to get a percentage you time by 100 to get 100/2048

Discounts and what is the outcome
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

with discount+tax= $23.15

Step-by-step explanation:

board game is 25

discount: 15%

tax: 7.5%

discount means you take off that amount

tax means you add that amount

discount: 15% off

tax: +7.5%

to find 15% of 25 multiply 25 by 15% (15/100=0.15)

25*0.15

= 3.75

then subtract that from 25

25-3.75

=21.25

tax:

0.075*25

=1.875

~1.9

21.25+1.9

=23.15
