The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

We know that the odds against the particular candidate are 9 to 5.

The the odds for the candidate are 5 to 9, this means that in 5 cases the candidate will win, and in 9 cases the candidate will lose.

Then the candidate wins in 5 out of 14 cases, then the probability that the particular candidate wins the elections is given by the quotient:

P = 5/14 = 0.357

The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

5. Please write the equation of a line in y=mx+b format. Find the SLOPE first then find the Y-INTERCEPT (b) Your answer

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

y = $\frac{5}{3}x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line is,

y = mx + b

Here m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph attached,

Since, the given line passes through (0, -1) and (3, 4),

Slope 'm' = $\frac{4+1}{3-0}$

m = $\frac{5}{3}$

y - intercept 'b' = -1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = $\frac{5}{3}x-1$

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 84 units. Find the length of side VW.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

18.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) formula of the perimeter given in the condition is:

p=2(VW+XV) or p=2(VY+XY).

Note, VW=XY and XV=VY;

2) if to substitute p=84, VW=2z+2 and XV=3z into the formula above, then

2(2z+2+3z)=84, ⇔ 5z+2=42; ⇒ z=8.

3) if z=8, then VW=2z+2=2*8+2=18.

Income per year=216,000

Second step is to calculate the taxable income

Taxable income=216,000-140,000

Taxable income=76,000

Third step is to calculate the tax Percentage per annum
