There are 3 green and 5 red jelly beans in a stocking. You randomly choose one of the jelly beans. What is the probability of selecting a red jelly bean?

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of green jelly beans = 3

Number of red jelly beans = 5

Total number of jelly beans = 3 + 5 = 8

The probability of selecting a red jelly bean would be:

= Number of red jelly beans /:Total number of jelly beans

= 5/8

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
