Triple my number add six and subtract my number twice I get my number plus three

Mathematics

liberstina [14]4 years ago

Let the number be x.

Triple the number means 3x
add 6 means 3x + 6
subtract the number twice 3x + 6 - x - x
the result is the number plus 3 means that the result is x + 3

So, combining these into an equation, we get:
3x + 6 - x - x = x + 3

If we solve this equation for x, we will get:
x + 6 = x + 3
The x will cancel out and we will get : 6 = 3

Therefore, this is a false statement.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason saved gas money (x).  Maria saved $20 more than double what Jason has (20 + 2x).  Combined, they saved $200.  Solve for x for Jason's amount.

(x) + (20 + 2x) = 200

x + 20 + 2x = 200

3x + 20 = 200

3x + 20 = 200

3x + 20 - 20 = 200 - 20

3x = 180

3x/3 = 180/3

x = 60

Jason saved $60 for this trip.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The probability that in a one-game playoff, her score is more than 227 is 0.4404.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Susan has been on a bowling team for 14 years. After examining all of her scores over that period of time, she finds that they follow a normal distribution. Her average score is 225, with a standard deviation of 13.

<em>Let, X = scores over that period of time</em>

X ~ N(\mu = 225, \sigma = 13^{2})

The z score probability distribution is given by;

          Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = average score

            \sigma = standard deviation

So, probability that in a one-game playoff, her score is more than 227 is given by = P(X > 227)

    P(X > 227) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{227-225}{13} ) = P(Z > 0.15) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.15)

                                                      = 1 - 0.55962 = 0.4404

Therefore, probability that in a one-game playoff, her score is more than 227 is 0.4404.

If a letter from the word ADMINISTRATION is selected at random, what is the
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

8/14

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting a consonant is the sum of the total consonants divided by the total number of letters. The consonants in the word ADMINISTRATION are 8 in number (D,M,N,S,T,R,T,N) while the vowels in the word are 6 in number (A,I,I,A,I,O).

Therefore, the sum of the letters in the word ADMINISTRATION is 14.

The probability of getting a consonant is equal to;

<em>Sum of Consonants/ Sum of the letters </em>

which is 8/14.

Since the two numbers are divisible by 2, we could break the fraction further to get 4/7.
