Answer:

x < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(5−4x)<6x−4

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 5−4x.

−10+8x<6x−4

Subtract 6x from both sides.

−10+8x−6x<−4

Combine 8x and −6x to get 2x.

−10+2x<−4

Add 10 to both sides.

2x<−4+10

Add −4 and 10 to get 6.

2x<6

Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is >0, the inequality direction remains the same.

x= 6/2

Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.

x= 3

X< 3

Answer:

3 > x

Step-by-step explanation:

–2(5 – 4x) < 6x – 4

Step 1: –10 + 8x < 6x – 4

Step 2: –10 < –2x – 4

Step 3: –6 < –2x

Step 4: divide each side by by -2, remembering to flip the inequality

-6/-2 > -2/-2

3 > x

A recent study suggested that 70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election. Suppose 20 eligible voters

natita [175]

Answer:

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will vote, or they will not. The probability of a voter voting is independent of any other voter, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters.

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote?

This is:

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.0308$

$P(X = 9) = C_{20,9}.(0.7)^{9}.(0.3)^{11} = 0.0120$

$P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.7)^{8}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0039$

$P(X = 7) = C_{20,7}.(0.7)^{7}.(0.3)^{13} = 0.0010$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{15} \approx 0$

The probability of 5 or less voting is very close to 0, so they will not affect the outcome. Then

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0308 + 0.0120 + 0.0039 + 0.0010 + 0.0002 = 0.0479$

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Two angles are vertical angles. One angle is ( 8x + 15 ) and the other angle is 143. Solve for x.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Verticle angles are always congruent, so:

(8x + 15) = 143

Now, we can solve to isolate x:

8x + 15 - 15 = 143 - 15 (subtract 15 from both sides)

8x/8 = 128/8 (divide both sides by 8)

x = 16

You can always plug in the value of x to the original equation to check your answer:

8(16) + 15 = 143
