The first thing we will do for this case is to define the following variable:
x = real number.
We then have the following sentence:
"Five more than the product of a number and 9 is equal to 6"
The equation sought is:
9x + 5 = 6
Answer:
An equation for the sentence is:
9x + 5 = 6
Answer:
So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or 2.88%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let P(A) = Probability of irs auditing
P(A) = 2.8%
Let n = number of those who earn above 100,000
To get the odds that taxpayer would be audited, we need to first calculated the proportion of those that will be audited and those that won't.
If the probability is 2.8% then 2.8 out of 100 will be audited. That doesn't make a lot of sense since you can't have 2.8 people; we multiply the by 10/10
i.e.
Proportion, P = 2.8/100 * 10/10
P = 28/1000
The proportion of those that would not be audited is calculated as follows;
Q = 1000 - P
By substituton
Q = 1000 - 28
Q = 972
So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or P/Q
P/Q = 28/972
= 0.0288065844
= 2.88% --- Approximately
All you have to do is combine 3x and 5x to = 8x. You can't combine 8x and 67y because they have different variables. so it's 8x+67y.
