There are two Geometry classes at a high school. Two students are being picked to attend a special math competition, one student from each class. If there are 20 students in one class and 26 students in the other, find the probability of being picked to attend the competition.

1/23

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the individual probabilities!

20 Class = 1/20 probability

26 Class =1/26 probability

Since you are trying to find the probability for both probabilities together, you add your probabilties together.

1/20 + 1/26 = 2/46

Next, we need to reduce this fraction.

To do this, lets divide this by 2.

2 ÷ 2 = 1 and 46 ÷ 2 = 23

This gives us the answer of 1/23

step-by-step explanation:

what is the figure? attach a picture.

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
