Answer:
3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
JK =JL+LM
5x-8=JL +(2x -6)
JL = 5x-8 -2x+6
JL = 3x-2
Answer:
- premium: 165 gallons
- water: 120 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'a' represent the amount of 95% antifreeze in the mix. Then the amount of water is (285 -a). The mix has this amount of antifreeze in it:
0.95a +0(285 -a) = 0.55(285)
a = 0.55/0.95(285) = 165 . . . gallons of 95%
285 -a = 285 -165 = 120 . . . . gallons of water
There are 120 gallons of water and 165 gallons of premium antifreeze in the mixture.
As a decimal it is equivalent to 0.5
As a fraction it can be equivalent to 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10 and so on. Hope this helps :)
You can extract two balls of the same colour in two different way: either you pick two black balls or two red balls. Let's write the probabilities of each pick in each case.
Case 1: two black balls
The probability of picking the first black ball is 2/5, because there are two black balls, and 5 balls in total in the urn.
The probability of picking the second black ball is 1/4, because there is one black ball remaining in the urn, and 4 balls in total (we just picked the other black one!)
So, the probability of picking two black balls is

Case 2: two red balls
The probability of picking the first black ball is 3/5, because there are three red balls, and 5 balls in total in the urn.
The probability of picking the second red ball is 2/4=1/2, because there are two red balls remaining in the urn, and 4 balls in total (we just picked the other red one!)
So, the probability of picking two red balls is

Finally, the probability of picking two balls of the same colour is
