I’m very excited, I get to see my brothers so that’s fun
The answer is 8^18...
3*6 = 17 and the 8 stays the same
This is like the equivalent to a jar with 4 green balls and 6 white balls, where you are picking 3. (The 4 green balls signify the friends from kindergarten.)
You want to solve the probability that the first two balls are green and the third is white.
First draw --> 4 green out of 10 balls --> 4/10 = 2/5
Second draw --> 3 green out of 9 balls --> 3/9 = 1/3
Third draw --> 6 white out of 8 balls --> 6/8 = 3/4
2/5 x 1/3 x 3/4
= 6/60
= 1/10
so the answer is 1/10 (or 10%)
f(-9) means x is -9
Replace x with -9 and solve:
2/3(-9) - 6
Simplify:
-6 - 6 = -12
f(-9) = -12
The distributive property is being displayed here. The distributive property shows if you have a problem like 3(a+c), it can be converted into 3a+3c. It shows itself in this because it is distributing -2 to both a and b.
Answer: The distributive property is being shown here.
