You just have to set the denominator to zero and solve for x
Answer:
p = 15/40
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the total number of marbles is 40, that is our size of the sample. there are 16 red ones on that sample, so the probability of extracting a red marble from the box is given by the ratio of successes divided the total number of marbles:
p = 15/40
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
22 = 18 + x
Subtract 18 from each side
22-18 = 18-18 + x
4 =x
Answer:
y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers,
x
,
y
. We know two things about them:
2
x
+
y
=
25
3
x
−
y
=
20
Let's add these two equations together which will cancel the
y
:
5
x
+
0
y
=
45
x
=
45
5
=
9
We can now substitute in the
x
value into one of the original equations (I'll do both) to get to
y
:
2
x
+
y
=
25
2
(
9
)
+
y
=
25
18
+
y
=
25
y
=
7
3
x
−
y
=
20
3
(
9
)
−
y
=
20
27
−
y
=
20
