Given that the total number of students that sent messages = 150 students

a) To obtain the equation to represent the number of students who send text messages, we will sum up the variables in the Venn diagram and equate it to 150.

\begin{gathered} 75+x+3x+x=150 \\ x+3x+x=150-75 \\ 5x=75 \end{gathered}

Hence, the equation is

5x=75

b) Solving for x

\begin{gathered} 5x=75 \\ x=\frac{75}{5}=15 \\ \therefore x=15 \end{gathered}

Therefore, x = 15.

c) The total number of student that uses cell phone = 75 + x = 75 + 15= 90students

The total number of students that sent messages = 150students

The formula for probability is,

\text{Probability = }\frac{\text{Number of students that uses cell phone}}{\text{Total number of students}}

Hence,

P(\text{Number of students that uses cell phone)}=\frac{90}{150}=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen student uses their cell phone to send text messages ​is 3/5.

A tree farm owner uses a grid to mark where to plant trees in the spring. The first tree is planted at (2, 3). Each of the other
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

See attached image for the drawing of the first four trees (circled in green)

The patterns is:

x = 2+3n  and  y= 3+2n

Position of 7th tree is: (20,15) (circled in orange in the image)

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at the location (2,3) the next x and y positions are given by:

x = 2+3n since the horizontal position needs to be increased by 3 units on each iteration,

and y= 3+2n since the vertical position needs to be increased by 2 units on each iteration

being n= 1 through 6 (to account for the next 6 trees that need to be planted)

With such pattern, the location of the seventh tree would be:

x = 2 + 3*6 =2 + 18 = 20

y = 3 + 2*6 = 3 + 12 = 15

That is, the point (20,15) on the plane.

for each babysitting job anna charges 2.50 for bus fare plus $8 per hours she worked. She charged 3.50 for her last babysitting
julsineya [31]
8x+2.50=3.50
-2.50 -2.50 subtract both sides by -2.50
8x=1
8. 8 divide both sides by 8
x=1/8
