Number of attendees = 14
Number of spies = 4

Number of ways of selecting 10 attendees who are not spies from all the attendees = 14C10 = 1001
Number of ways of selecting 10 attendees from the non-spices attendees = 10C10 = 1
 Probability of sharing secret information with 10 non-spies = 1/1001 = 0.000999

How many solutions does the equation have?<br><br> 2x + 3 = 4x + 2
fenix001 [56]
Well, solve for x.

Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation

The 4x's will cross out on the right

4x - 4x = 0x = 0

On the left:

2x - 4x = -2x

Now the equation looks like:

-2x + 3 = 2

Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

3 - 3 = 0

On the right:

2 - 3 = -1

Equation:

-2x = -1

Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

-2x ÷ -2 = 1

On the right:

-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2

x= 1/2

So, there is only one solution: 1/2

What equation represents the model shown below?
g100num [7]

Given:

The algebra tiles of an equation.

To find:

The equation represented by the given model.

Solution:

On the left side of the model we have 4 tiles of (-x) and 3 tiles of (-1). So,

LHS=(-x)+(-x)+(-x)+(-x)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)

LHS=-4x+(-3)

LHS=-4x-3

On the right side of the model we have 8 tiles of (-1). So,

RHS=(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)

RHS=-8

Now, equate the LHS and RHS to get the equation.

-4x-3=-8

Therefore, the equation for the given model is -4x-3=-8.

Let y= 4t+2 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant t minutes after starting out fom a location near
bija089 [108]

The given equation is of the form y = m x + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept that is value of y when x =0 , or we can say b is the initial value.

In the given equation which is y = 4t+2, on comparing we will get m =4 that is slope is 4 and here slope represents the rate or speed and 2 is the y intercept that is b. And 2 represents the initial position that is, the ant is 2 units from the home initially .
