Suppose we have two bags with the numbers. Each bag has a total of 100 numbers. In the first bag there are 31 lucky numbers, in

the second bag there are 18 lucky numbers. We want to add one more bag with 100 numbers to decrease the probability that a randomly selected number from a random bag is the lucky number. How many lucky numbers should be in the third bag?

Answer:

There should be at most 24 lucky numbers in the third bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, there are 200 numbers. Two bags with 100 each. There are 31+18 = 49 lucky numbers. So there is a 49/200 = 0.245 probability that a randomly selected number from a random bag is the lucky number.

Now with 300 numbers, we want this probability to be lower than 24.5%. So we should solve the following rule of three:

200 - 49

300 - x

200x = 300*49

x = 1.5*49

x = 73.5

With the third bag, the probability will be the same if 73.5-49 = 24.5 lucky numbers are added. So there should be at most 24 lucky numbers in the third bag.

14000+7x=35x (x being the number of books) solve for x and you have your answer. 14000=35x-7x=28x therefore x=14000/28=500 so he needs to sell 500 books before he breaks even.

8 + 8r = 3 + 3r can anyone can help me out​
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:r = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8+8r-(3+3r)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

8r-(3r+3)+8=0

We get rid of parentheses

8r-3r-3+8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5r+5=0

We move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right

5r=-5

r=-5/5

r=-1

Hope this helps

Help? Please?<br> I really suck at geometry
Maslowich

Answer:

x = 14

y = 4

Explanation:

Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.

So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.

So we can write the equation x = y + 10.

Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.

So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.

Now we have the equations \left \{ {{x=y+10} \atop {4y=x+2}} \right. you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.

If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.

To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.
