The lights go out, your bedroom is pitch dark, yet you still need to find a pair of socks, in your drawer there is 25 white socks and 25 red socks how many socks do you need to pull out before you get a matching pair?

At most 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 25 white socks and 25 red socks, a matching pair would be picked in at most 3 times.

The first sock you pick would be either White or Red

The second sock you pick would be either white or red again which means that you now either have 2 whites, 2 reds or 1 white and 1 red.

The third sock you pick will either be white or red once more. At this point you will either have 3 whites, 3 reds, 2 whites and 1 red or 2 reds and 1 white.

You will therefore have at least a matching pair after 3 tries.

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
