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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

(ab² + 13b - 4a) + (3ab² + a +7b)

Natalija [7]

Answer:

4ab² + 20b - 3a

Step-by-step explanation:

This question most likely asks us to simplify the expression, as factoring is not possible...

(ab² + 13b - 4a) + (3ab² + a + 7b),

ab² + 13b - 4a + 3ab² + a + 7b,

ab² + 3ab² + 13b + 7b - 4a + a,

Solution : 4ab² + 20b - 3a

1 2/3*J=15 What is J?

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Do you mean:

(1+(2/3))j = 15

((3/3)+(2/3))j = 15

((3+2)/3)j = 15

(5/3)j = 15

j = 15 / (5/3)

j = 15 * (3/5)

j = 9
