A bag contains 6 black, 4 blue, and 8 white marbles. What is the probability that a marble drawn from the bag will be white? a.1/18
b.2/5
c.4/9
d.4/5

C.4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the black marbles, blue marbles, and the white marbles together, which equal 18. Out of the 18 marbles, 8 of them are white so it would be 8/18.

but you have to simplify it. 8 and 18 have 2 as the greatest common factor. 8 divided by 2 is 4 and 18 divided by 2 is 9. Finally its 4/9 since you cant simplify it even more.

answer: standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

step-by-step explanation:

standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

distribute to get into standard form

2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0

a = 2, b= -3, c = -2

a is your answer
