Answer:

probability of Number of earth quakes in a fixed interval of time is to be determined at a mean rate of 1.2 times once every 22 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson probability distribution is used to determine probability of an event in a fixed interval of time and space given that the event occurs with known mean rate and independently of time since its last occurance.

In this scenario,

Mean is 1.2 times once every 22 years.

probability of number of earth quakes in any fixed interval of time is to be determined

occurance of event that is number of earth quake in a fixed interval is independent variable.

The question is 7a +10 = 2a
Amanda [17]
 7a + 10 = 2a  subtract 2a from both sides
-2a          -2a
 5a + 10 = 0    subtract 10 from both sides
       -10    -10
5a = -10          then divide both sides by 5
/5      /5
a = - 2

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
First the left side of an equation:"six added to twice the sum of a number and four": ( x - a number )
6 + 2 ( x + 4 )Then the right side:"one half of a difference of three and a number":1/2 ( 3 - x )And the solution:A )  6 + 2 ( x + 4 ) = 1/2 ( 3 - x )
