A box contains six black pens, four blue pens, and seven red pens. Without looking, Clarissa randomly picks a red pen out of the box. If she chooses
another pen out of the box without replacing the first one, what is the
probability that she will pick a red pen next time? Write your answer as a
percent rounded to the nearest tenth.

21 total pens

- 1 red pen

20 pens total

6/20 red pens left

6/20 = 3.3333

= 3.3

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
