a bag contains only red bricks and blue bricks. there is a total of 20 bricks in the bag. the probability that a brick taken at random from the will be red is ⅖. how many blue bricks are there in the bag.

there is 12 blue bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

if you have 2/5 and the denominator needs to be 20 because there is 20 bricks in all you multiply 5 by whatever number to get to 20 in this case its 4 then if you multiply the denominator by 4 you have to multiply your numerator by 4 making it 8/20 then you subtract 8 from 20 because ow you know how many red bricks there are and if you subtract that gives you 12.

hope this helps :)

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

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

solving the above equation:

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

combining like terms

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

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
