Answer:
Kay sold 67; Allen sold 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" represent the number of phones that Allen sold.
a + (a+17) = 117 . . . equation used to find the answer
2a = 100 . . . . . . . . subtract 17, collect terms
a = 50 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2; the number Allen sold
a+17 = 67 . . . . . . . . Kay sold 17 more than Allen
The real way is to subtract the term with the variable on the right first, but both Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. When you do them both, they arrive at the same answer, only that Spencer's would be 2/5, and Jeremiah's would be -2/-5, which is 2/5, because you divide negative by a negative. It doesn't matter which term with the variable you would cancel out first. Either way, you still arrive at the correct answer.
P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21
P(black socks without replacing): 23/41. As a result, the probability of randomly picking 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861 or 32%. Hope it help!
