Step-by-step explanation:

A simple event is one that can only happen in one way - in other words, it has a single outcome. If we consider our previous example of tossing a coin: we get one outcome that is a head or a tail. A compound event is more complex than a simple event, as it involves the probability of more than one outcome.

Determine whether each expression is equivalent to

larisa [96]

The algebraic expressions, $x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$ and $5x + 3$ are equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

To determine whether each expression is equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ , apply the knowledge of algebra to solve each of the following in it's simplest form.

First, simplify $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ as follows:

Add like terms

$2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y\\2x + 3x + 4y - 4y - 5 + 8\\5x + 3$

Next, compare or simplify where necessary each of the given algebraic expressions with $5x + 3$

First Option

$x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$

Add like terms together

$2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y\\2x + 3x + 4y - 4y -5+8\\5x + 3$

Therefore, $x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$ is equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Check the box for YES.

Second Option:

$6xy + 3 - 4y$ (cannot be simplified further)

$6xy + 3 - 4y\neq 2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Leave the box BLANK for NO.

Third Option:

$-8y + 5x - 3$ (cannot be simplified further)

$-8y + 5x - 3 \neq 2x + 4y -5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Leave the box BLANK for NO.

Fourth Option:

$5x + 3$

$5x + 3 = 2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Check the box for YES.

Thus, the algebraic expressions that are equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ are:

$x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$

$5x + 3$

If John has pairs of red, orange, yellow, blue and green socks, how many can he wear them in over 5 days, repetition is allowed

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Total ways = 5×5×5×5×5

Total ways = 5^5

Total ways = 3125

Therefore, the correct option is C) 5^5

Step-by-step explanation:

John has pairs of red, orange, yellow, blue and green socks.

Which means that John has 5 different colors pairs of socks.

We are asked to find out in how many ways can he wear them over 5 days.

1st Day:

On the first day John has 5 ways to choose from.

2nd Day:

On the second day John has 5×5 ways to choose from.

(Since repetition is allowed)

3rd Day:

On the third day John has 5×5×5 ways to choose from.

4th Day:

On the fourth day John has 5×5×5×5 ways to choose from.

5th Day:

On the fifth day John has 5×5×5×5×5 ways to choose from.

Total ways = 5×5×5×5×5

Total ways = 5^5

Total ways = 3125

Therefore, the correct option is C) 5^5
