Three out of twenty toothbrushes are defective, indicating an initial probability of picking one that is defective on the first attempt is 3/20. On the second attempt, because one defective toothbrush has already been removed, the remaining defective ones are 2 out of 19. To find the likelihood of both selections being defective, we multiply the two probabilities. Thus, (3/20)*(2/19) = 6/380, which simplifies to approximately 0.0157, or around 1.6%.

Four times a number added to 3 times a larger number is 31. Seven subtracted from the larger number is equal to twice the smalle
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

y = negative four-thirds x + StartFraction 31 Over 3 EndFraction

y = 2 x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the smaller number and y denote the larger number.

Part 1

The equation presented indicates that four times some number added to three times a larger number equals 31.

This translates to:

  • 4x + 3y = 31

From here, solving for y yields:

  • 4x + 3y=31 ⇒ 3y= -4x+31 ⇒ y= (-4x+31)/3 = - 4/3x + 31/3

    ⇒  y= - 4/3x + 31/3

This indicates the correct response for this scenario:

y = negative four-thirds x + StartFraction 31 Over 3 EndFraction

Part 2

The statement that seven subtracted from the larger number equals twice the smaller number translates to:

y-7= 2x

Further, solving for y yields:y-7= 2x ⇒

y= 2x+ 7

The correct answer for this equation is:

y = 2 x + 7

The perimeter of angle ABC is 98 centimeters. If the radius circle A is twice the radius of circle C and the radius of circle B
tester [12383]

Answer: Circle C has a radius of 7 cm.

Explanation:

Referring to the illustration below:

Let's denote the radius of circle C as x.

Circle A's radius can be represented as 2x.

Circle B's radius can be expressed as 4x.

The length of side AC in triangle ΔABC becomes x + 2x = 3x.

For side BC of triangle ΔABC, we get 4x + x = 5x.

Similarly, for side AB of triangle ΔABC, it is 4x + 2x = 6x.

Given that the perimeter of triangle ΔABC totals 98 cm.

Remember, the perimeter refers to the total length around the triangle.

Hence, Perimeter = 6x + 5x + 3x = 98 cm.

Thus, 14x = 98.

From this, we find x = \frac{98}{14}.

Therefore, x = 7.

This concludes that the radius of circle C is 7 cm.

give an example on an addition problem in which you would and would not group the addends differently to add
AnnZ [12381]
Addends refer to the numbers being summed in an equation. 

Their arrangement only matters if parentheses are utilized to modify the usual Order of Operations. 

For example:
2 - (8 + 3)  in this case, 8 and 3 must be grouped first before tackling the subtraction.

Any addition scenario without parentheses can similarly function where the grouping is irrelevant.
