Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3a + 26 = 86
3a = 86 - 26 = 60
a = 60/3 = 20
Answer:
111 / 190
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first compute the probability of picking 2 of each sweet. Take liquorice as the first example. There are 12 / 20 liquorice now, but after picking 1 there will be 11 / 19 left. Thus the probability of getting two liquorice is demonstrated below;

Apply this same concept to each of the other sweets;

Now add these probabilities together to work out the probability of drawing 2 of the same sweets, and subtract this from 1 to get the probability of not drawing 2 of the same sweets;

The probability that the two sweets will not be the same type of sweet =
111 / 190
Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearranging the number in ascending order,
12,15,17,19,19,20,24,26
Median = The average of the 4th and 5th number

Let's move the terms with n to one side:
12n < 3n + 28 => 12n - 3n < 28
9n < 28 => n < 28/9
n < 3.1111
The only answer which satisfies this inequality is A.
