Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{5} or Probability = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Black = 25

White = 35

Red = 40

Required

Determine the probability of selecting Black and Red

First, we need to calculate the number of red and black balls

The probability is calculated as thus:

Probability = P(Black\ and \ Red) \ or\ P(Red\ and \ Black)

Convert to mathematical expressions

Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]

Solve for each probaility;

P(Black) = \frac{Black}{Total} = \frac{25}{100}

P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total} = \frac{40}{100}

So, we have:

Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]Probability = [\frac{25}{100} *\frac{40}{100}] + [\frac{40}{100} *\frac{25}{100}]

Probability = [\frac{1000}{10000}] + [\frac{1000}{10000}]

Probability = [\frac{1}{10}] + [\frac{1}{10}]

Probability = \frac{1+1}{10}

Probability = \frac{2}{10}

Probability = \frac{1}{5}

or

Probability = 0.2

Number c is really difficult

Multiply each term in the equation by 4/1.
9-2y+2y+4=24

Combine like terms
13=24

Because the result is false, it is no solution.
