Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property does not appear to be involved in this question.

Let n represent the number of Noah's pencils. Then Andrew's total is ...

  3n +5 = 17

  3n = 12 . . . . . subtract 5 from both sides

  n = 4 . . . . . .  divide both sides by 3

Noah has 4 pencils.

An urn contains 5 white and 10 black balls. A fair die is rolled and that number of balls is randomly chosen from the urn. What
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Part A:

The probability that all of the balls selected are white:

P(A)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{21}+\frac{2}{91}+\frac{1}{273}+\frac{1}{3003}+0)\\      P(A)=\frac{5}{66}=0.075757576

Part B:

The conditional probability that the die landed on 3 if all the balls selected are white:

P(D_3|A)=\frac{\frac{2}{91}*\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{5}{66} } \\P(D_3|A)=\frac{22}{455}=0.0483516

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the event all balls are white.

D_i is the dice outcome.

Sine the die is fair:

P(D_i)=\frac{1}{6} for i∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}

In case of 10 black and 5 white balls:

P(A|D_1)=\frac{5_{C}_1}{15_{C}_1} =\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}

P(A|D_2)=\frac{5_{C}_2}{15_{C}_2} =\frac{10}{105}=\frac{2}{21}

P(A|D_3)=\frac{5_{C}_3}{15_{C}_3} =\frac{10}{455}=\frac{2}{91}

P(A|D_4)=\frac{5_{C}_4}{15_{C}_4} =\frac{5}{1365}=\frac{1}{273}

P(A|D_5)=\frac{5_{C}_5}{15_{C}_5} =\frac{1}{3003}=\frac{1}{3003}

P(A|D_6)=\frac{5_{C}_6}{15_{C}_6} =0

Part A:

The probability that all of the balls selected are white:

P(A)=\sum^6_{i=1} P(A|D_i)P(D_i)

P(A)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{21}+\frac{2}{91}+\frac{1}{273}+\frac{1}{3003}+0)\\      P(A)=\frac{5}{66}=0.075757576

Part B:

The conditional probability that the die landed on 3 if all the balls selected are white:

We have to find P(D_3|A)

The data required is calculated above:

P(D_3|A)=\frac{P(A|D_3)P(D_3)}{P(A)}\\ P(D_3|A)=\frac{\frac{2}{91}*\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{5}{66} } \\P(D_3|A)=\frac{22}{455}=0.0483516

Solve the following system of equations:
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

<u><em>(-1,1)</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by either graphing and finding ther point the lines intersect, or mathematically,  I'll do both.

<u>Graphing:</u>

<u>Mathematically:</u>

−2x + 4y = 6

y = 2x + 3

See the attached graph.  The lines intersect at (-1,1)

--------------------

I'll rearrange the first equation (to make it easier for me):

−2x + 4y = 6

4y = 2x + 6

y = (1/2)x + 1.5

Now lets substitute the second equation into the first so that we can eliminate y:

y = 2x + 3

[(1/2)x + 1.5] = 2x + 3

- (3/2)x = (3/2)

x = -1

If x = -1:

y = 2(-1) + 3

y = 1

The solution is x = -1 and y = 1, or (-1,1)

=================

Both approaches give us (-1,1), the solution to the system of equations.  It is the only point that satisfies both equations.

Why does the equation y = 3x + 5 NOT represent a proportional relationship?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form  or  

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

The given equation not represent a proportional relationship, because the line not pass through the origin

In a proportional relationship the value of b (y-intercept) is equal to zero

Omani drives 66 miles in 1.5 hours
Burka [1]

Answer:

25.6 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Omani:

First, 1.5 hours = 1 hour and 30 minutes

and 66 miles = 105.6 km (66 x 1.6 = 105.6)

105.6 / 1.5 = 70.4 km/h

Omani's speed is 70.4 km/h

Adedi:

1 hour and 15 minutes is 1.25 hours

she drives 56 km in 1.25 hours

So 56 / 1.25 = 44.8 km/h

Adedi's speed is 44.8 km/h

Difference:

70.4 - 44.8 = 25.6 km/h

Omani is faster than Adedi with 25.6 km/h
