x = 30
The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.
Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.
Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
-10/9 < -2/3 < 4/6 < 6/5 < 5/4
(hope this helps!)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a. 720
b. 0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Three balls are selected at random without replacement.
First ball can be selected in 10 ways
Second ball can be selected in 9 ways
Third ball can be selected in 8 ways
Thus, there are 10×9×8 =720 different ways of selecting three balls.
b.
There are three cases that satisfy this condition
- first ball picked is 5, the others are not
- first ball is not 5, second is 5, third is not
- first and second ball is not five, third ball is 5
Each probabilities are:
Thus, one of the balls selected is the number 5 is then 
Answer:
y = -18
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
y = 5x - 3
3x - 2y = 27
<u>Step 2: Rewrite systems</u>
- Define: 3x - 2y = 27
- Add 2y on both sides: 3x = 2y + 27
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 3: Redefine</u>
y = 5x - 3
x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = 5(2/3y + 9) - 3
- Distribute 5: y = 10/3y + 45 - 3
- Combine like terms: y = 10/3y + 42
- Subtract 10/3y on both sides: -7/3y = 42
- Divide -7/3 on both sides: y = -18
