From the information given, it is found that the least number of balls we need to take out to be certain we have two blue balls is 14.

  • In the bag, there are 12 + 7 = 19 balls, of which <u>12 are red and 7 are blue</u>.
  • The balls are chosen without replacement, that it, they are removed from the bag, and not placed back.
  • In theory, we could pick 12 balls, and all 12 being red, while also 13, with 12 red and 1 blue.
  • Thus, at least 14 balls are needed to guarantee that there are at least 2 blue.

How do I find the slope parallel to the equation. y = 3x - 4?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

<h2>Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope. The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b y = m x + b , where m m is the slope and b b is the y-intercept. Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is 3 3 . All lines that are parallel to y=3x+4 y = 3 x + 4 have the same slope of 3 .</h2>

I need help ASAP on number 8 b and c. Thank you
s344n2d4d5 [400]
I think you're having trouble because the equation you wrote for 8a has a slight typo.

The question says that the length is 9 less than twice the width. Your equation states the length is 9 times the width minus 2. So the length actually equals 2w – 9, meaning that w(2w – 9) = 180

Hope this helps! If you're still having trouble, let me know :)
