A bag contains 100 marbles which are red, green, and blue. Suppose a student randomly selects a marble without looking, records

the color, and then places the marble back in the bag. The student has recorded 7 red marbles, 2 green marbles and 11 blue marbles. Predict how many red marbles are in the bag.

Answer:

35 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of marbles the student recorded is 20

Now we have to make a ratio of red to the total number of marbles

That would be 7 : 20

After this, there will be a new ratio which is x : 100

Lastly we will solve for x making the equation 20x = 700, x = 35

Answer:

35 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can put the different color marbles in a ratio. So 7:2:11. If we add all of those up we get 20. We do 100/20 to get 5. Each number in the ratio is equivalent to 5 marbles. Then we do 7*5 to get 35. We can check our work by doing, (7*5) + (2*5) + (11*5) = 100. And it does equal 100 so the answer is correct.

what is a correct first step in solving the inequality –4(3 – 5x)≥ –6x 9? –12 – 20x ≤ –6x 9 –12 – 20x ≥ –6x 9 –12 20x ≤ –6x 9 –1
DIA [1.3K]
<span>The answer is -12 + 20x ≥ –6x 9. The inequality is –4(3 – 5x)≥ –6x 9. The first step is to multiply factors on the left side. The intermediary steps are: (-4)*(3) - (-4)*(5x) ≥ –6x 9. -12 - (-20x) ≥ –6x 9. So, the first step will be: -12 + 20x ≥ –6x 9.</span>

Find the real numbers x and y if -3+ix^2y and x^2+y+4i are conjugate of each other. Pls solve with the steps
Firdavs [7]
ANSWER
x = ±1 and y = -4.
Either x = +1 or x = -1 will work

EXPLANATION
If -3 + ix²y and x² + y + 4i are complex conjugates, then one of them can be written in the form a + bi and the other in the form a - bi. In other words, between conjugates, the imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign (b and -b). The real parts are the same

For -3 + ix²y
⇒ real part: -3
⇒ imaginary part: x²y

For x² + y + 4i
⇒ real part: x² + y (since x, y are real numbers)
⇒ imaginary part: 4

Therefore, for the two expressions to be conjugates, we must satisfy the two conditions. 

Condition 1: Imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign. We can set the imaginary part of -3 + ix²y to be the negative imaginary part of x² + y + 4i so that the 

   x²y = -4 ... (I)

Condition 2: Real parts are the same

   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We have a system of equations since both conditions must be satisfied

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We can rearrange equation (II) so that we have

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)

Substituting into equation (I)

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x²(-3 - x²) = -4
   -3x² - x⁴ = -4
   x⁴ + 3x² - 4 = 0
   (x² + 4)(x² - 1) = 0
   (x² + 4)(x-1)(x+1) = 0

Therefore, x = ±1.
Leave alone (x² + 4) as it gives no real solutions.

Solve for y:

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)
   y = -3 - (±1)²
   y = -3 - 1
   y = -4

So x = ±1 and y = -4. We can confirm this results in conjugates by substituting into the expressions:

   -3 + ix²y 
   = -3 + i(±1)²(-4)
   = -3 - 4i

   x² + y + 4i
   = (±1)² - 4 + 4i
   = 1 - 4 + 4i
   = -3 + 4i

They result in conjugates
