long winded...

p(any number) = 1
p(4) = 0.1
p(1) = 0.6

p(2 or 3) = p(any) - p(1) - p(4) = 1 - 0.1 - 0.6 = 0.3

p(2) + p(3) = 0.3
p(2) = p(3)

2p(2) = 0.3
p(2) = 0.15

p(3) = 0.15

1. 9-3k+5k = 2k+9
2. +2k+4k = k²+6k = 6k(k+1)
3. 3k*2k = 6k²
4. 9k² / 3k = 3k

THANKS A LOT TO WHO EVER ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS!!!!!!

a)

side length of square = x
area =

side length when increased = x * 1.1 = 1.1x

area = side length * side length = (1.1x)² = 1.21x²

so a 21% increase.

b)

length = x
width = y
area = xy

when increased...

length = x * 1.2 = 1.2x
width = y * 0.8 = 0.8y
area = 0.8y * 1.2x = 0.96xy

so a 4% decrease.

CAN SOME1 HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

call the length of time he watched TV oin monday x

total time in week = x + x + x + x + 2x + 2x + 2x = 10x = 26 hours

x = 2.6 hours = 2 hours and 0.6 *60 mins = 2hrs 36min.

41% / 94 people = .436...% of wealth each


9.83333../0.436... = 23.0243...

(if both previous valuea are used to 3sf the answer is 22.5 as way up ^ there. But with the real values it comes out more like 23)
