Answer: 2 numbers are 19 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: x + y + 20 = 78

⇔ x + y = 78 - 20

⇔ x + y = 58

⇔ y = 58 - x

So, we have:

x + 20 = 58 - x ( = y)

⇔ x + x = 58 - 20

⇔ 2x = 38

⇔ x = 19

⇒ y = x + 20 = 19 + 20 = 39

A bag contains 4 red balls, 2 green balls, 3 yellow balls, and 5 blue balls. Find each probability for randomly removing balls w

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$\frac{15}{4802}$ , $\frac{15}{9604}$ , $\frac{9}{2401}$ , $\frac{9}{4802}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The bag has a total of (4+2+3+5) = 14 balls. Set up the proportions:

Red: $\frac{4}{14}$

green: $\frac{2}{14}$

yellow: $\frac{3}{14}$

blue: $\frac{5}{14}$

Now solve!

Removing 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green, and 1 blue = $\frac{3}{14} \cdot \frac{4}{14} \cdot \frac{2}{14} \cdot \frac{5}{14} =\frac{15}{4802}$

Removing 1 blue, 1 green, 1 green, and 1 yellow = $\frac{5}{14} \cdot \frac{2}{14} \cdot \frac{2}{14} \cdot \frac{3}{14} =\frac{15}{9604}$

Removing 1 red, 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 yellow = $\frac{4}{14} \cdot \frac{4}{14} \cdot \frac{3}{14} \cdot \frac{3}{14} =\frac{9}{2401}$

Removing 1 green, 1 yellow, 1 yellow, and 1 red = $\frac{2}{14} \cdot \frac{3}{14} \cdot \frac{3}{14} \cdot \frac{4}{14} =\frac{9}{4802}$
