Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 5x - 7 = 5x becomes -7 = 0 if 5x is subtracted from both sides. This result is never true, so NO SOLUTION
B)3x−9=3(x−3) Performing the indicated multiplication, we get
3x - 9 = 3x - 9. This is always true, so there are INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS
C)2x−6=−2(x−3) Performing the indicated multiplication, we get
2x - 6 = -2x + 6. Adding 2x - 6 to both sides results in
4x - 12 = 0, or 4x = 12. Thus, the solution is x = 3. ONE SOLUTION
D)2x+6−5x=−3(x This equation is incomplete
Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
Answer:
If a bag contains 4 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 7 green marbles and a marble is randomly selected from the bag, what is the probability that it is blue? P=3/(3+4+7)=3/14 because each of 14 marbles is equally likely to be drawn.
