Answer:

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Trying to get the variable alone is the main goal in solving these

to get the variable alone here we can divide both sides by 5, which gets us

y - 10 = -1

now we can add 10 to both sides to get y = 9

Answer:

3 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of 1.2 pounds boxes.

We have been given that Mr. Smith has 15.6 pounds of oranges to pack for shipment. He can ship 2.4 pounds of oranges in a large box and 1.2 pounds in a small box.

The oranges covered in x small boxes would be $1.2x$

Oranges packed in 5 large boxes would be $5\times 2.4\text{ pounds}=12\text{ pounds}$ .

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$1.2x+12=15.6$

$1.2x+12-12=15.6-12$

$1.2x=3.6$

$\frac{1.2x}{1.2}=\frac{3.6}{1.2}$

$x=3$

Therefore, the minimum number of small boxes required to ship the rest of the oranges would be 3 boxes.

The probability of drawing 2 defective pieces one after the other on the first and second samples, without replacement, from a l

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The required probability is 0.004.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces = 50

Number of defective pieces = 5

So, we need to draw 2 defective pieces.

So, the probability of drawing 2 defective pieces one after the other on the first and second samples would be

$\dfrac{5}{50}\times \dfrac{4}{49}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{2450}\\\\=0.004$

Hence, the required probability is 0.004.
