First I would convert the .85 into an 85%

Now you have 85% like math and 15% like science.

Since there are 60 students, you then take .85*60=51 students who prefer math and .15*60=9 students who prefer science. 

Then you take math (51) minus science (9) 

51-9=42 more students prefer math over science

Rewrite the expression using Distributive Property, then simplify<br><br> -1(x-9)+4x
pentagon [3]
First ask yourselfhat needs to be dristributed.
That would be -1 (x-9)
To distribute you have to multiply the number out side of the parentheses (-1) by each term inside the parentheses( x and -9)
-1×x=-x
-1×-9=9
Now the expression is
-x+9+4x
To simplify you have to combine like terms (4x and-x)
4x-x=3x
Your answer is 9+3x or 3(3+x).

A bridge hand in which there is no card higher than a nine is called a Yarborough. Specify an appropriate sample space and deter
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The probability of Yarborough when you are randomly dealt 13 cards out of a well-shuffled deck of 52 card is 0.000547.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways you  can choose a set of 13 different cards from a deck of 52 cards is given by 52P13.

Hence the unordered sample space has 52P13 equally likely outcomes. The number of outcomes with no card above a nine is 32P13.

This leads to the same value for the desired probability of a Yarborough:

32P13 / 52P13  = 0.000547.
