Mathematics
1 answer:
Rudik [331]3 years ago
3 0

2(x - 3) - 4(x - 6) = 7x

2x - 6 - 4x + 24 = 7x

-2x + 18 = 7x

-2x - 7x = -18

-9x = -18

x = -18 ÷ (-9)

x = 2

5(x - 6) = 8

5x - 30 = 8

5x = 8 + 30

5x = 38

x = 38/5

Terri has 7 pens in a box.
lora16 [44]

a) I have attached an image of a probability tree diagram.

b) 0.02332 (please round to where you need)

The probability that Terri chooses a blue pen is 2/7. The probability that Terri chooses a red pen is 4/7. The probability that Terri chooses neither a red nor blue pen is 1/7.

2/7 x 4/7 x 1/7 = 0.02332

Hope this helps! :)
