Explain why in a drawer containing only two different colors of socks one must draw only three socks to find a matching pair

Mathematics

As pair means that 2 socks with the same color need to be drawn for it to be identified as a pair.
However there is a probability that if u only pick 2 socks, then they could kid each have different COLORS.
By picking 3 socks (bearing in mind there are only 2 types of color) it’s guaranteed that two socks will have the same color.

How to solve 4(a-2)=3(a+4)

Use the distributive property.
4a - 8 = 3a + 12
Arrange the like terms.
4a - 3a = 12 + 8
a = 20
That is the answer. <span>☺️</span>✌️

How to do 2x+4=12 plz show how you got it
OverLord2011 [107]
2x + 4 = 12

We're simply just trying to isolate x.

So, we must get x onto it's own side of the equal sign :)

Our first step is to subtract 4 from both sides.

2x + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

Simplify.

2x = 8

Then, we divide both sides by 2.

2x ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2 

Simplify.

x = 4

----------

To check your work, simply plug in the value of x into x in the original equation.

In this problem, x = 4, so plug in 4 for x.

2x + 4 = 12

2(4) + 4 = 12

Simplify.

8 + 4 = 12

12 = 12

Therefore, x = 4
