Hi,
flower vase contains15Flowers: 3 white ,4 blue, 2 yellow,and 6 red
If one is randomly picked
P(white) = 3/15 = 1/5
Writing as We Read:
17 times a numberhighlight%28n%29 plus 3 equals 10
17n + 3 = 10 n+=+7%2F17
44 increased by a numberhighlight%28n%29 and then multiplyd by 6 equals 144
6(44 + n) = 144
264 + 6n = 144
6n = 120 n+=+20
