Emily collects and trades rocks. She starts with 8x2 rocks, for some number x, and then buys 7x4. She then trades away x5, then

gives away 9x, and finally sells another 5 rocks. Write an expression for the number of rocks Emily now has in standard form. Group of answer choices
A.−x5+7x4+8x2−9x−5
B.8x2−5+7x4−9x−x5
C.−9x+8x2+7x4−5−x5

Answer:

-x^5 + 7x⁴ + 8x² - 9x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the question given:

Rocks traded, sold or given away are denoted by negative values, '-' while rocks bought or purchased are diniywd as positive, '+'

Starting = 8x² ;

Purchase = + 7x⁴ ;

Trades = - x^5

Gives away = - 9x

Sells = - 5

The number of rocks Emily now has :

8x² + 7x⁴ - x^5 - 9x - 5

In standard form:

Arrange in order of power :

-x^5 + 7x⁴ + 8x² - 9x - 5

Scott and Letitia are brother and sister. After dinner, they have to do the dishes, with one washing and the other drying. They

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green

$P = 2$

$G = 3$

Required

The probability of Scott washing the dishes

If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.

So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

This gives:

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = P(G_1) * P(G_2)$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{n(G)}{Total} * \frac{n(G)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{3-1}{5- 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{2}{4}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{10}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = P(P_1) * P(P_2)$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{n(P)}{Total} * \frac{n(P)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2-1}{5- 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{4}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{1}{10}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

So, we have:

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

$P(Same) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{3+1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{4}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{2}{5}$

What is the answer to 3/x=-3/3x+5

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$-\frac{5}{4} =x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to bring x up into the numerator. I will find common denominators by multiplying both sides by each denominator.

$\frac{x(3x+5)}{1} *\frac{3}{x} =\frac{-3}{3x+5}*\frac{x(3x+5)}{1}$

This will eliminate both denominators and leave me with

$(3x+5)3=-3(x)\\9x+15=-3x$ after I simplify the parenthesis.

Now I will solve the equation for x by subtracting 9x from both sides.

$9x-9x+15=-3x-9x\\15=-12x$

Then divide by the coefficient of x.

$\frac{15}{-12}=\frac{-12x}{-12}$

$-\frac{5}{4} =x$
