Sam: y = 30 + 34x
Charlie: y = 100 + 20x
30 + 34x = 100 + 20x
14x = 70, x = 5(equal)
It will take 6 nights for him

Your sock drawer has two white socks, four brown socks, and two black socks. You randomly pick a sock and put it on your left fo

zmey [24]

Answer:

The probability of this occurring is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, here is a probability question.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Total number of socks = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 socks

Since we are not given the order in which the socks was worn, we can assume any order.

Let’s say the right leg socks was worn first.

From the question, the socks on the right leg is a brown one.

So now let’s calculate the probability of selecting a brown socks out of the mix

That would be ;

number of brown socks/ total number of socks = 4/8 = 1/2

Now, for the left foot, we are having white sock here.

Kindly recall that since we already have a sock on the right foot, we have 7 socks left to pick from.

Now we need the probability of picking a white sock from the total 7. That would be ; 2/7

So the probability of both action occurring is simply the product of both probabilities and that is ;

1/2 * 2/7 = 1/7

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the first line has a slope of $m$ and the second line has a slope of $\frac{1}{-m}$ .

With this information, we first need to figure out what the slope of the line is that we're given, and then we can determine what the slope of the line we're trying to find is:

$5x - 2y = -6$

$-2y = -5x - 6$

$y = \frac{5}{2}x + 3$

We now know that $m = \frac{5}{2}$ for the first line, which means that the slope of the second line is $m = \frac{-2}{5}$ . With this, we have the following equation for our new line:

$y = \frac{-2}{5}x + C$

where $C$ is the Y-intercept that we now need to determine with the coordinates given in the problem statement, $(5, -4)$ :

$y = \frac{-2}{5}x + C$

$(-4) = \frac{-2}{5}(5) + C$

$-4 = -2 + C$

$C = -2$

Finally, we can create our line:

$y = \frac{-2}{5}x - 2$

$5y = -2x - 10$

$2x + 5y = -10$
