Question :

Gabriel has a candy box containing 9 chocolates candies and 12 lollipops. If he choose 2 of them at random.

a) What is the probability that he gets 2 lollipops?

b) What is the probability that he gets 2 chocolates?

c) What is the probability that he gets at least 1 lollipop and 1 chocolate?

Answer:

First we need to calculate the total no. of items. In this case it is the no. of chocolate candies + the no. of lollipops which is, 9 + 12 = 21.

Now we can solve the questions.

a) P (2 lollipops) = 2/21.

b) P (2 chocolates) = 2/21.

c) P (at least 1 lollipop & 1 chocolate) = 2/21.

Note : P(x) is read as probability of getting x is....

6x-12y=36 Converting from standard form to slope intercept form

AnnyKZ [126]

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
6x-12y=36
-12y=36-6x
y=36-6x/-12

y=0.5x-3

Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. In 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. How

mylen [45]

Answer:

5.5 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D represent present age of Robert's dog and C represent present age of Karen's cat.

We have been given that Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D=C+4...(1)$

We are also told that in 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. After 3 years age of dog and cat would be $D+3$ and $C+3$ respectively.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D+3+C+3=13...(2)$

From equation (1), we will get:

$C=D-4$

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

$D+3+D-4+3=13$

Combine like terms:

$2D+2=13$

$2D+2-2=13-2$

$2D=11$

$\frac{2D}{2}=\frac{11}{2}$

$D=5.5$

Therefore, Robert's dog is 5.5 years old right now.
