Start by doing the binomial expansion of (x+y)^6 where x represents success. This is

(x^6y^0) + 6(x^5y^1) +15(x^4y^2) +20(x^3y^3) +15(x^2y^4) +6(x^1y^5) +(x^0y^6)

We are interested in the x^3y^3 term which represents exactly 3 sucesses. Since the probalbility of sucess and failure are both .5 we should be able to figure this out just using the coefficients of the terms which is

20/64 = .3125 which is 31.25%

<h3>Answer: Commutative Property (choice C)</h3>

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

Explanation:

Here are all of the justifications for each step

Step 1. None needed. This is the original expression
Step 2. Distributive property
Step 3. Multiply (the 3 and 5 multiply to 15)
Step 4. Commutative property. Specifically, this is the commutative property of addition which allows us to add any two numbers in any order we want. In this case, the -15 and 4x terms swap places.
Step 5. Associative property. The parenthesis group the first two terms away from the third term.
Step 6. Combine like terms. Both 3x and 4x have an x only so they are like terms that combine to 7x. You can think of it as 3+4 = 7, then you just tack an x onto everything to get 3x+4x = 7x.

Naomi has 45 minutes to get ready for school. She spends x minutes getting dressed. Write an expression that represents the numb

Ronch [10]

45+x=y 45 minutes to get ready plus x time spending getting dressed equals y (the total time to get ready for school)
