Answer:

The answer is <u>one solution</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1)2(b+3)-17 = 3b-7+b

2)2b+6-17 = 4b-7

3)2b-11 = 4b-7

4)-11+7 = 4b-2b

5)-4 = 2b

6)2b = -4

7)b = -4/2

Final your answer is b = -2

<h3>Answer: D) One solution</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

2(b+3)-17 = 3b-7+b

2b+6-17 = 4b-7

2b-11 = 4b-7

-11+7 = 4b-2b

-4 = 2b

2b = -4

b = -4/2

b = -2

There is one solution and it is b = -2

A quick way to tell we have one solution is to note that both sides are a linear expression, and that the slopes of each linear expression are different values. If you had two lines with the same slope, then you'd have either parallel lines or coinciding lines (leading to no solutions and infinitely many solutions respectively). When you have two lines with two different slopes, then they are guaranteed to intersect only once. That intersection point is the solution.

Answer:

g(3) = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The right side of the equation is the part with all the information for the doing of the math.

x^2 - 3 means square the number and then subtract 3.

On the left side of the equation is the g(x). g(x) or f(x) or k(x) is literally just y. Someone could ask what is f(x)? It is y.

What is g(x)? It is y.

What is g? It is the name of the function. So instead of saying ..."the thing where you square a number and then subtract 3..." you can just say "g". Now the (x) beside g DOESNOT mean times, bc sometimes parenthesis means times. THIS IS NOT TIMES!

The (x) is like a billboard. Tells you who will be starring as x in the work on the right side of the equation.

If you see g(x)=x^2-3

then whatever is in the ( ) on the left, put that in the place of x on the right.

g() = ^2 - 3

g(12) = 12^2 - 3

g(-7) = (-7)^2 - 3

or like your question

g(3) = 3^2 - 3

do the calculation

g(3) = 9 - 3

g(3) = 6

done! Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Find all probabilities:

A. False

$Pr(\text{red shirt}|\text{large shirt})=\dfrac{\text{number red large shirts}}{\text{number large shirts}}=\dfrac{42}{77}=\dfrac{6}{11}\\ \\Pr(\text{large shirt})=\dfrac{\text{number large shirts}}{\text{number shirts}}=\dfrac{77}{165}=\dfrac{7}{15}$

B. True

$Pr(\text{blue shirt}|\text{large shirt})=\dfrac{\text{number blue large shirts}}{\text{number large shirts}}=\dfrac{35}{77}=\dfrac{5}{11}\\ \\Pr(\text{blue shirt})=\dfrac{\text{number blue shirts}}{\text{number shirts}}=\dfrac{75}{165}=\dfrac{5}{11}$

C. False

$Pr(\text{shirt is medium and blue})=\dfrac{\text{number medium and blue shirts}}{\text{number shirts}}=\dfrac{48}{165}=\dfrac{16}{55}\\ \\Pr(\text{medium shirt})=\dfrac{\text{number medium shirts}}{\text{number shirts}}=\dfrac{88}{165}=\dfrac{8}{15}$

D. False

$Pr(\text{large shirt}|\text{red shirt})=\dfrac{\text{number red large shirts}}{\text{number red shirts}}=\dfrac{42}{90}=\dfrac{7}{15}\\ \\Pr(\text{red shirt})=\dfrac{\text{number red shirts}}{\text{number shirts}}=\dfrac{90}{165}=\dfrac{6}{11}$
