6 = -2b (cancel -2b on both sides)
6/-2 = b (divide both sides by -2)
-3 = b (simplify 6/2 to 3)
now switch sides
Answer: b = -3
11.6 rounded to the nearest whole is 12 and 4.1 rounded to the nearest whole is 4 (rule is if the decimal [or number in general] is 4 or lower, the whole stays the same and if the number is 5 or higher, the whole goes up by one). 12+4=16
Step-by-step explanation:
The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.
Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.
What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.
Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.
For each trial, we get for each child, C:
C1: X + (X or Y)
C2: X + (X or Y)
C3: X + (X or Y)
C4: X + (X or Y)
C5: X + (X or Y)
Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.
Answer:
the number of short sleeves sold is 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the number of short sleeves sold is shown below:
Given that
The clothing store sold 98 long sleeve shirts
And, the ratio of short sleeve to long sleeve is 3:7
So, the number of short sleeves sold is
= 98 × 3 ÷ 7
= 42
Hence, the number of short sleeves sold is 42
Let's call n the number of days Marika's been training for the race, and 
the distance she runs on the nth day in meters. After the first day, when n = 1, she runs 100 meters, so
On the second day, she runs an additional 4 meters, on the third day, another 4, and so on. Here's what that looks like mathematically:
It would be easier to write this continued addition as multiplication, in which case those same equations would look like
Notice that, in every case, the number 4 is being multiplied by is 1 less than n. We could even write for our first term that 
. In general, we can say that
Which is expressed by option B.
