Answer:
<em>a) 15 b) 6 c) -3</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 3
a) 5 (x - y) = 5 (3) = 15
b) 2x - 2y = 2 (x - y) = 2 (3) = 6
c) y - x = -1 (x - y) = -1 (3) = -3
There are 7 marbles, including 3 green ones, so at the start, there is a 3/7 chance of getting a green marble.
Assuming you did get a green one, there are now 6 marbles left, with 2 blue marbles, so there is a 2/6 chance of taking a blue marble.
Given that both have to happen, you must multiply each probability, hence the total probability is 3/7 x 2/6, or a 1/7 chance.

A. 4x + 9 = 34

x = 6.25
B. (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
x - 4 = 0 U x + 2 = 0

x = 4 x = -2
C. 2x² - 6x + 4 = 0
2(x²) - 2(3x) + 2(2) = 0
