A box of matching game pieces contains 8 red pieces, 5 green pieces, and 7 yellow pieces. You reach in and randomly take out one piece and then a second piece. Find the probability of drawing a green piece followed by a red piece.

The correct answer is  2/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We start by breaking up the process into 2 parts. The first part of the process is finding the probability of selecting a green piece out of 20 pieces. Since there are 5 green pieces, this probability is 5/20

Step 2

The second part of this process is that of selecting a red piece out of 19 pieces since the first piece was not replaced. If the first piece was green, taken without replacement, there are now 8 red pieces out of 19 pieces in total

Step 3

The next step is t find the probability using the multiplication rule. To find the probability of finding green piece followed by a red piece we just multiply the probabilities from step 1 and 2.

there is not enough information in the problem to solve.

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
