Answer from: LILYTH8413

P (blue or too big) = 11 / 12

Explanation:

A two way table permits to represent the situation clearly and find the answser is an easy way.

The two way table is that results from the given information is:

Initial information:

Blue Green Total

Fit well 4 1 ?

Too big ? ? ?

Total 5 7 12

Now by subtraction and addition you can fill the unknown fields:

Blue Green Total

Fit well 4 1 5

Too big 1 6 7

Total 5 7 12

Now, you can see that there are 5 blue and 7 too big shirts, but the total number of them is 5 + 7 - 1 (because one of the too big shirts is also blue).

Then, the number of shirts being blue or too big is 5 + 7 - 1 = 11.

And the probability is :

P(blue or too big) = number of blue or too big / total number of shirtsP (blue or too big) = 11 / 12 ← answer

You can also realize that there is only 1 green shirt that fits well, and that is the only option of not being blue of too big, so 1 /12 is the probability of not being blue or too big, and its complement (being blue or too big) is 1 - 1/12 = 11 / 12.

Answer from: Quest

yes

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8. 4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
