You can solve this problem by using the Gauss method. The Gauss method is a method where you can add the first and last numbers together, and then multiply by how many times that appears. Here, the sum of the first and last number is -11. In this sequence, it would appear ten times (since there are ten terms and the terms are used twice in every eleven). -11 * 5 is -55, so that means the answer to this question is -55.

How to graph 200-25x=y

In-s [12.5K]

Simplifying
y = -25x + 200

Reorder the terms:
y = 200 + -25x

Solving
y = 200 + -25x

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying
y = 200 + -25x

A drawer contains 6 white socks and 10 black socks. If 2 socks are chosen at random, what is the probability that they will have

SpyIntel [72]

$|\Omega|=C(16,2)=\dfrac{16!}{2!14!}=\dfrac{15\cdot16}{2}=120\\|A|=C(6,2)+C(10,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}+\dfrac{9\cdot10}{2}=15+45=60\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%$
