21 because you just multiply the 2 numbers.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: A bag contain
red marbles,
green marbles and
blue marble. A marble is chosen at random from the bag and not replaced, then a second marble is chose.
TO FIND: What is the probability both marbles are green.
SOLUTION:
Total marbles in bag 
total number of green marbles 
Probability that first marble will be green 

Probability that second marble will be green 

As both events are disjoint
probability both marbles are green 

Hence the probability both marbles are green is 
Let's call the two numbers
and
.
Given these variables, we can say:
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

To solve, we can simply substitute
in for
in the second equation and solve.


- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition


- Cross multiplication (
)


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

- Factor left side of the equation

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since
is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus,
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify the square roots, break the number under the square root into factors. Any factors which are perfect squares may be simplified to outside the square root.

Answer:
24 ÷ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Putting something into fourths is putting into 4 parts. If you divide 24 by 4 you get 6. 6 equals 1/4 of 24. To check your work add 6 together 4 times.
