Answer:
Student 1 has the correct answer
Student 2 started of OK but then divides the number of white marbles by the number of non-white marbles, which is incorrect.
Student 3 reports a probability larger than 1 which is impossible. Also the answer is not in percentages.
The answer is 3 (x+b) (x-2)
Yw! :)
Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorize (x+5)(x-4)(x+2)
(x+5)(x-4)(x+2)
= (x²-4x+5x-20)(x+2)
= (x²+x-20)(x+2)
= (x³+2x²+x²+2x-20x-40)
= x³+3x²-18x -40
Compare with x^3+ax^2
3x² = ax²
3 = a
Rearrange
a = 3
Hence the value of a that makes the expressions identical is 3
7 stamps* ($2.20/ 5 stamps)= $3.08.
(Note that the unit cancels out so you get the answer)
The final answer is $3.08~
Step 1. Combine like terms
Step 2. Subtract 7 from both sides
Step 3. Divide 6 from both sides
Final answer: x=1/6
