Answer:
1 slat every 2 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
James is able to paint 2 slats every 5 minutes.
James and Gabe together are able to paint the whole fence (180 slats) in 3 hours and 20 minutes (200 minutes)
The rate of 180 slats in 200 minutes is equal to 18 slats in 20 minutes, and is equal to 9 slats in 10 minutes.
The rate of James is 2 slats in 5 minutes, which is equal to 4 slats in 10 minutes.
Subtracting the rate of James and Gabe together (9 slats in 10 minutes) by the rate of James alone (4 slats in 10 minutes), we have the rate of Gabe, which is 5 slats in 10 minutes, or 1 slat in 2 minutes.
1. 2x+8=3x+10
Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x+8(-3x)= 3x+10 <span>(-3x)
</span>-x+8=10
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.
-x+8 (-8) = 10 <span>(-8)
</span>-x=2
Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.
-x/(-1)=2/(-1)
x=-2
Answer= x=-2
2. -3x+9=2x-1
Step 1: Subtract 2x from each side.
-3x (-2x) +9= 2x-1 <span>(-2x)
</span>-5x+9=-1
Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.
-5x+9 (-9)=-1 (-9)
-5x=-10
Step 3: Divide -5 from both sides.
-5x/-5= -10/-5
x=2
The answer is 2.
3. 4x-7=5x-6
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
4x-7 (-5x)= 5x-6 (-5x)
-x-7=-6
Step 2: Add 7 to both sides.
-x-7 (+7)= -6 (+7)
-x=1
Step 3: Divide each side by -1.
-x/-1=1/-1
x=-1
The answer is -1.
Answer: <CBE
Step-by-step explanation:
Let success be that a plant dies in the winter and failure be that a plant survives the winter, then
p = 0.05, q = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95
a.) P(1 or more will not survive the winter) = 1 - P(all will survive the winter) = 1 - P(0) = 1 - 10C0 (0.05)^0 (0.95)^10 = 1 - 1(1)(0.5987) = 0.4013
b.) P(all will survive) = P(none will die) = P(0) = 0.5987
