1/3 chance to pick a boy 2/3 chance to pick a girl
Thinking about combining 45 pennies and 50 pennies. How many pennies would you have in total? 95
Wouldn’t it be $1.50 since half of 3 is 1.5
(x-4)² + (x-2)² = x²
(x² - 8x + 16 ) + (x² - 4x + 4) = x
2x² -12x + 20 = x
2x²-12x + 20 - x = 0
2x² - 13x + 20 = 0
(2x-5) (x-4) = 0
2x-5 = 0
2x = 5
x = ⁵/₂
x-4 = 0
x = 4
so x₁ = ⁵/₂ , and x₂ = 4
the problem is a pattern that multiplies by two and subtracts one each time.
3x2=6 6-1=5 5x2=10 10-2=9 9x2=18 18-1=17 17x2=34 34-1=33
