Is there supposed to be an equation that follows? Can I see the entire question?
The answer to this question would be: 85/99
In this question, Suzan is taking 8 marble from a bag containing 4 red marbles, 4 green ones, 2 white ones, and 2 purple ones. The total marble in the bag should be: 4+4+2+2= 12. The question is how much the probability to get <4 red marble. In this question, the green, white and purple is not specified so you can join them into not red group. It will be easier to find the probability of "have all the red one" which mean Suzan take 4 red marble and 4 not-red marble<span>
Ways to take 8 marble out of 12=12C5= 12!/4!8!= </span>495
Ways to take 4 red marble out of 4= 4C4= 1
Ways to take 4 not red marble out of 8= 8C4= 8!/4!4!= 70
Probability to <span>have all the red ones= 1*70/495= 14/99
</span>Then the probability does not have all the red ones= 99/99 - 14/99= 85/99

3.I think its The Transitive property of equality
sometimes I wonder if its necessary to label these things . Its basically common sense!
The standard for of this equation is x – y = 0
Firstly, options A and D are not in standard form, so they are not options.
To decided between B and C, we choose a point on the line and see if it works. For example, we'll use (2, 2).
x – y = 0
2 - 2 = 0
0 = 0
This is true for option C. Therefore, it is correct.
