Response:

1/6

Detailed explanation:

Let

c -----> the count of cola bottles chosen by Dan

s -----> the count of smarties selected by Dan

m -----> the count of marshmallows selected by Dan

we have

c=3s -----> A equation

m=2s -----> B equation

we understand that

To determine the fraction of the sweet bag that consists of smarties, we must divide the number of smarties by the total amount of sweets

The overall number of sweets is calculated as

(c+s+m)

substituting equations A and B into the total sweets

(3s+s+2s) =6s

Calculate the fraction

s/6s

Reduce it

1/6

A city determines that a planned community must have at least 4 acres of developed and open space, and the difference
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

The attached figure illustrates the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x represents the count of open acres

y depicts the total developed acres

It is established that

x+y \geq 4 corresponds to inequality A

x\leq 1 corresponds to inequality B

Keep in mind that

if the open acres, x, is limited to a maximum of 1, then it follows that x must adhere to ≤ 1

The system of equations can be solved by graphing

The solution is found in the shaded area (Note Negative acreage counts are not permissible)

The attached figure serves as a visual representation.

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry at x = –3.5 and a zero at –9. What is the distance from the given zero to the line o
Svet_ta [12734]

Given:

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry positioned at x = –3.5 with one root located at –9.

To find:

The second root.

Solution:

It is understood that the line of symmetry splits the quadratic function's graph into two identical halves. Hence, both roots are equidistant from this line.

This implies that the line of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the two roots.

Let the other root be denoted as x.

-3.5=\dfrac{(-9)+x}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2.

-7=-9+x

Add 9 to both sides.

-7+9=-9+x+9

2=x

Consequently, the other zero of the quadratic function is concluded to be 2.

Zina [12379]
To determine the slope, subtract the y coordinates from each other and the x coordinates as well. That gives us: 10000 - 4000 over 0 - 15, which simplifies to 6000 over -15. When divided, it results in -400. So, the slope amounts to -400. I hope this aids you!:D

Svet_ta [12734]
<span>P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21
P(black socks without replacement): 23/41. Consequently, the chance of randomly selecting 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861, equivalent to 32%. Hope this helps!</span>
