Answer:

1/114 or 0.008772

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not very sure, my answer seems unlikely, but here's what I think:

There are 20 jerseys in the box to begin with, and 5 medium jerseys that you can have.

Therefore, the probability of you randomly grabbing a medium sized jersey is 5/20 or 1/4.

After taking out one medium sized jersey, there are 19 jerseys in the box and 4 medium jerseys you can pick from.

The probability of you randomly grabbing a medium sized jersey is 4/19.

After taking out another medium sized jersey, there are 18 jerseys left in the box and 3 medium jerseys you can pick from.

The probability of you randomly grabbing a medium sized jersey is 3/18.

To get the answer, you do 1/4 * 4/19 * 3/18, and get 1/114, or 0.00877192982.

If you round that to the nearest millionth, it's 0.008772

Don't judge me, it might not be correct.

Solve the following absolute value equation.<br><br> −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14
Levart [38]

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

3a² + 11a – 42<br><br>this is factoring in algebra 2 (high school) <br>​
N76 [4]

To factor,

<h2>[[[</h2>

1) First multiply coefficient of a² and constant no,

That is,

3×(-42)=-126

Since the<u> resultant no is negative</u>, you should find two such factors of 126 <u>which</u> <u>will give us the coefficient of a (=11)</u> on subracting those factors.

2) Find the factor

126=2×3×3×7

=18×7

18 and 17 are factors of 126

Also,18-7 =11.

So they are required factors for factoring,

<h2>]]]</h2>

Once you have understood above steps you can solve on your own. All you need to do is split 11 into factors ,take common terms and you will get answer.

<u>Answer:</u>

3a²+11a-42

=3a²+(18-7)a -42

=3a²+18a-7a-42

=3a(a+6) -7(a+6)

=(a+6)(3a-7)
