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

In a number with at least two digits, the last number was removed. The resulting number was n smaller than ghe previous one.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The largest possible value of n is 11.

(A) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The number with at least two digits,the last number was removed. The resulting number was n smaller than the previous one.

We need to find the largest possible value of n

Using given data,

The smallest number of two digit is 10.

Now, we removed last digit then we get 1 which is equal to 10 divided 10.

So, n = 10

But the largest number of two digit is 99.

We removed last digit then we get 9 which is equal to 99 divided 11.

So, n = 11

Hence, The largest possible value of n is 11.

(A) is correct option.

I need some help on this

Len [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Point of intersections of the graph with x-axis are not clear.

Let these points are x = -a, -b and c

Therefore, function representing the graph will be,

f(x) = p(x + a)(x + b)(x - c)

Since, this graph crosses y-axis at (0, -6),

f(0) = p(0 + a)(0 + b)(0 - c) = -6

-pabc = -6

p = $\frac{6}{abc}$

Therefore, equation of the given function will be,

f(x) = $\frac{6}{abc}(x+a)(x+b)(x-c)$
