A+b+c=123
b=2a-9
c=3a+6

Substitute the values of b and c into the first equation

a+(2a-9)+(3a+6)=123

Combine like terms

6a-3=123
6a=126
a=21

Plug this a value into the second and third equation to get the b and c values.

b=2(21)-9
b=42-9
b=33

c=3(21)+6
c=63+6
c=69

Final answer:
a=21
b=33
c=69

This is a combinations problem.

The total number of possible 2-item combinations is (1000 choose 2)

The number of 2-defective combinations is (300 choose 2)

The probability = \frac{300 C 2}{1000 C 2} = 0.09

Peter is at a lumber yard. He gets 2 free boxes of nails for every 10 boards he buys. Write an expression for the number of boxe
Sati [7]
A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

    N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em>   N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

     N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
     N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800

Which composition of transformations maps figure RSTUV to figure R"S"T"U"V"?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

option: B is correct

A reflection across line n followed by a 270° rotation about point P.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly from the figure we could see that the graph is first reflected across the given line n such that we obtain the figure R'S'T'V'U' and then it is rotated 270° across the point P so that we obtain the figure R"S"T"U"V".

Hence, option B is correct.

( A reflection across line n followed by a 270° rotation about point P )
