Answer:

33.3333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

we see that there are 6 candies in total

we also see that there is a 50% chance that someone will take out 3 candies of the same color,

50/3 = 16.66666666666667

so the chance of getting 2 marbles of the same color is 16.66666666666667 + 16.66666666666667 which is 33.3333333333

I hope I could help

Find the Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18, show all your work
Ahat [919]

Answer:

the greatest common factor of 12 and 18 is 6.

Step-by-step explanation

GCF of 18 and 32 = 2.

GCF of 21 and 84 = 21.

GCF of 36 and 100 = 4.

GCF of 12 and 48 = 12.

GCF of 18 and 35 = 1.

GCF of 18 and 63 = 9.

GCF of 48 and 56 = 8.

Which equation could be used to find the height of the flagpole
Sauron [17]
X = height of pole (in meters)

With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters. 

The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)

------------------

Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle

So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)

This expression is listed. The answer is choice B

Linear model function
sveticcg [70]

Using equations of linear model function, the number of hours Jeremy wants to skate is calculated as 3.

<h3>How to Write the Equation of a Linear Model Function?</h3>

The equation that can represent a linear model function is, y = mx + b, where m is the unit rate and b is the initial value.

Equation for Rink A:

Unit rate (m) = (35 - 19)/(5 - 1) = 16/4 = 4

Substitute (x, y) = (1, 19) and m = 4 into y = mx + b to find b:

19 = 4(1) + b

19 - 4 = b

b = 15

Substitute m = 4 and b = 15 into y = mx + b:

y = 4x + 15 [equation for Rink A]

Equation for Rink B:

Unit rate (m) = (39 - 15)/(5 - 1) = 24/4 = 6

Substitute (x, y) = (1, 15) and m = 6 into y = mx + b to find b:

15 = 6(1) + b

15 - 6 = b

b = 9

Substitute m = 6 and b = 9 into y = mx + b:

y = 6x + 9 [equation for Rink B]

To find how many hours (x) both would cost the same (y), make both equation equal to each other

4x + 15 = 6x + 9

4x - 6x = -15 + 9

-2x = -6

x = 3

The hours Jeremy wants to skate is 3.

Solve for X I need help please
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles EBC and EDC are the same. and straight lines equal 180

so now to solve for x

180=134+10x+6\\180-134=134+10x+6-134\\46=10x+6\\46-6=10x+6-6\\40=10x\\40/10=10x/10\\4=x
