x / 6   +   x / 2  = 8          multiply through by 6

x + 3x  = 48     

4x  = 48            divide by 4

x  = 12

This is a binomial probability question

C(4,2) * (.35)^2 * (.65)^2  ≈ .31 ≈  about 31%

OK.....but here's your next Birthday Cake......

I'm still trying to figure that out, too.........

I thought I could come here and check the TV listings....all I got were a bunch of math questions.....

You were on the right track.....

Aw, heck........At least I didn't say that you looked 80....!!!!!

1.  a  = ∛[12² ]  =   ∛144  = ∛[2⁴ * 3²] =  2∛[2 * 9]  = 2 ∛18  ≈ 5.24 AU

2.   2F  = Fr^6    where r is the factor   .....divide out F.......

       2  = r^6    take the  6th root of each side

       2^(1/6)  = r  ≈ 1.122

≈ 14......or so.......

We can probably do it.....give us an example.....

We can use the sine here

sin [76° ] = h / 96    →   96 * sin [76° ]  = h  ≈ 93.15 m
