Answer:

18 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the fraction of each type of marble as a function of the total number of marbles as shown;

Let;

total marbles=x

red marbles=3/(3+4)=3/7x

blue marbles=4/7 x

But x=42 marbles

The total number of marbles for each type can be expressed as;

total number of red marbles=fraction of red marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of red marbles=3/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of red marbles=(3/7)×42=18 marbles

total number of blue marbles=fraction of blue marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of blue marbles=4/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of blue marbles=(4/7)×42=24 marbles

21(z+50)= 1,071 distrbultive property
Harman [31]

Answer:

The value of z is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

21(z+50) = 1071

We need to solve the problem using distributive property.

Solution:

For the given equation we will apply distributive property;

By Definition of Distributive property which states that;

"The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products."

example = a(b+c) = a\times b +a\times c =ab +ac

So we get;

21\times z + 21\times 50 = 1071\\\\21z + 1050 =1071

Now by using Subtraction property we will subtract both side by 1050 we get;

21z+1050-1050=1071-1050\\\\21z=21

Now Dividing both side by 21 by using Division property we get;

\frac{21z}{21}=\frac{21}{21}\\\\z=1

Hence The value of z is 1.

Which expression is equal to p + (q + r)
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

the answer for me would be (p+q)+r

here is why I think so

q +pr ( the pr close-by together in maths means multiple so that's out) same goes for C and A it has a negative so that's not equal.
