Answer:
EIther 45 or 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 37/3 = 12.333
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Pulling out like terms :
1.1 Pull out like factors :
15x - 185 = 5 • (3x - 37)
Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
Equations which are never true :
2.1 Solve : 5 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.2 Solve : 3x-37 = 0
Add 37 to both sides of the equation :
3x = 37
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 37/3 = 12.333
The Answer is b. Hope that helps
Answer:
Explanation:
You can build a two-way relative frequency table to represent the data:
These are the columns and rows:
Car No car Total
Boys
Girl
Total
Fill the table
- <em>30% of the children at the school are boys</em>
Car No car Total
Boys 30%
Girl
Total
- <em>60% of the boys at the school arrive by car</em>
That is 60% of 30% = 0.6 × 30% = 18%
Car No car Total
Boys 18% 30%
Girls
Total
By difference you can fill the cell of Boy and No car: 30% - 18% = 12%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl
Total
Also, you know that the grand total is 100%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl
Total 100%
By difference you fill the total of Girls: 100% - 30% = 70%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 70%
Total 100%
- <em>80% of the girls at the school arrive by car</em>
That is 80% of 70% = 0.8 × 70% = 56%
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 56% 70%
Total 100%
Now you can finish filling in the whole table calculating the differences:
Car No car Total
Boy 18% 12% 30%
Girl 56% 14% 70%
Total 74% 26% 100%
Having the table completed you can find any relevant probability.
The probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car is the total of the column Car: 74%.
That is because that column represents the percent of boys and girls that that arrive by car: 18% of the boys, 56% of the girls, and 74% of all the the children.
Usually the easiest way to solve this is by using a calculator. Of course only if your teacher allows you too.
