You can only solve this by having the same base on each side. So to change 1/27, you can use 3^-3, which is then multiplied through. So the equation is:
4x-5=-3(2x+10)
4x-5=-6x-30
10x=-25
x=-2.5
Answer: 0.046
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
orange jelly beans= 7
Cherry jelly beans =9
Lemon jelly beans = 3
Licorice jelly beans = 15
Blueberry jelly beans = 6
Total jelly beans = 40
The probability of choosing the first cherry jelly beans will be = 9/40
After the first one is chosen, there'll be 8 cherry jelly beans and total of 39 left. The probability of choosing the second one will be = 8/39
The probability of choosing two cherry jelly beans in a row will be:
= 9/40 × 8/39
= 72/1560
= 0.046
