Answer: $x=\Large\boxed{-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

$4(x+1)-(2x-4)=7$

Expand the parenthesis and apply the distributive property

$4\times x+4\times1-2x+4=6$

$4x+4-2x+4=6$

Combine like terms

$4x-2x+4+4=6$

$2x+8=6$

Subtract 8 on both sides

$2x+8-8=6-8$

$2x=-2$

Divide 2 on both sides

$2x\div2=-2\div2$

$x=\Large\boxed{-1}$

Hope this helps!! :)

Given the geometric sequence where a1 = 3 and r = √2 find a9

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$a_9=48$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

sequence is geometric

so, we can use nth term formula

$a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}$

we have

$a_1=3$

$r=\sqrt{2}$

we have to find a9

so, we can plug n=9

we get

$a_9=3(\sqrt{2})^{9-1}$

$a_9=2^4\cdot \:3$

$a_9=48$

One day, eleven babies are born at a hospital. Assuming each baby has an equal chance of being a boy or girl, what is the probab

Andrews [41]

You only need to consider the situations where 10 or 11 of the babies are girls, then subtract those probabilities from 1. This will give probability that any other number up to 9 of the babies are girls.

Use binomial theorem.
$P(x=k) = (nCk) p^k (1-p)^{n-k}$

n = 11
k = 10,11
p = 1/2

$P(x=10) = 11 (\frac{1}{2})^{11} = \frac{11}{2048} \\ \\ P(x=11) = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{11} = \frac{1}{2048} \\ \\ P(x \leq 9) = 1 - \frac{11}{2048} - \frac{1}{2048} \\ \\ P(x \leq 9)=\frac{2036}{2048} = \frac{509}{512}$
