The probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs is 17.16%.

<h3><u>Probability </u></h3>

Given that this season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.61 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more runs in a game is 0.56, and the probability that the Yankees win and score 5 or more runs is 0.44, to determine what is the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs the following calculation must be made:

1 - 0.61 = 0.39
1 - 0.56 = 0.44
0.39 x 0.44 = X
0.1716 = X

Therefore, the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score fewer than 5 runs is 17.16%.

Show work please<br> \sqrt(x+12)-\sqrt(2x+1)=1

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $\displaystyle\\\sqrt{x+12}-\sqrt{2x+1}=1$ , start by squaring both sides to work towards isolating $x$ :

$\displaystyle\\\left(\sqrt{x+12}-\sqrt{2x+1}\right)^2=\left(1\right)^2$

Recall $(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$ and $\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{b}=\sqrt{a\cdot b}$ :

$\displaystyle\\\left(\sqrt{x+12}-\sqrt{2x+1}\right)^2=\left(1\right)^2\\\implies x+12-2\sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}+2x+1=1$

Isolate the radical:

$\displaystyle\\x+12-2\sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}+2x+1=1\\\implies -2\sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}=-3x-12\\\implies \sqrt{(x+12)(2x+1)}=\frac{-3x-12}{-2}$

Square both sides:

$\displaystyle\\(x+12)(2x+1)=\left(\frac{-3x-12}{-2}\right)^2$

Expand using FOIL and $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ :

$\displaystyle\\2x^2+25x+12=\frac{9}{4}x^2+18x+36$

Move everything to one side to get a quadratic:

$\displaystyle-\frac{1}{4}x^2+7x-24=0$

Solving using the quadratic formula:

A quadratic in $ax^2+bx+c$ has real solutions $\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ . In $\displaystyle-\frac{1}{4}x^2+7x-24$ , assign values:

$\displaystyle \\a=-\frac{1}{4}\\b=7\\c=-24$

Solving yields:

$\displaystyle\\x=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{7^2-4\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)\left(-24\right)}}{2\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)}\\\\x=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{25}}{-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{-7+5}{-0.5}=\frac{-2}{-0.5}=\boxed{4}\\x=\frac{-7-5}{-0.5}=\frac{-12}{-0.5}=24 \:(\text{Extraneous})\end{cases}$

Only $x=4$ works when plugged in the original equation. Therefore, $x=24$ is extraneous and the only solution is $\boxed{x=4}$

Help please<br>solve for x

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: x= 47 (If that says 3x+2)(the picture is a little blurry)

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear pairs of angles sum to 180.

37+(3x+2) =180

Combine like terms

39+ 3x = 180

Subtract 39 from both sides

3x = 141

Divide both sides by 3

x= 47

Jimmy ran at a speed of m miles. how far did he run in t minutes

beks73 [17]

Answer:

(mxt) miles

Step-by-step explanation:

$speed = m \: miles \: per \:minute \\ time \: = t \: minutes \\ speed = \frac{distance}{time} \\ m = \frac{d}{t} \\ m \times t \: = d \\ d = (m \times t)miles$

hope that this is helpful.
