Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Larger number: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)

x + 3x -2 = 46

   Add 3x + x:

4x - 2 = 46

   Add 2 to both sides:

4x = 46 + 2

   Add 46 + 2:

4x = 48

    Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12 is the smaller number

Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

En una caja de muchos bombones hay hasta tres sabores de ellos. ¿Cuántos se deben extraer como mínimo al azar para obtener con s
avanturin [10]

Answer:

At least 13 chocolates must be removed

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are three flavors, the probability of drawing 1 would be: 1

1/3 = 0.333

Which means, that every 3 attempts, theoretically you should do 1 of each, but how they ask for 5 chocolates of each would be:

3 * 5 = 15

At least 15 chocolates must be extracted to theoretically guarantee 5 chocolates each, but how we are interested in knowing is that a single flavor has 5 chocolates, so we discard the last two chocolates that represent the other two flavors

Therefore, for there to be safely 5 chocolates of the same flavor, at least 13 chocolates must be removed.

Find the domain and range of function f(x) is equal to root √x-1
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

If you meant f(x) = √x - 1, then the domain is [0, infinity).

If you meant f(x) = √(x-1), then the domain is [1, infinity).

When any ambiguity may rear its ugly head, use parentheses, as indicated here.
