Answer:

3x+4 = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

if its 3 times is its going to be 3x (because that's 3 times x)

increased by four is +4, so it will be 3x+4

equal to 5 times x is =5x (because x is multiplied by 5)

so it would be 3x+4 = 5x

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x+y=6 that passes through the point (0,8)

Alekssandra [29.7K]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

$3x + y = 6$

$y = - 3x + 6$

The coefficient of x is the slope of the line , So the slope of the above equation is -3 .

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Remember from now on ,

Product of multiplying the slopes of two lines which are perpendicular to each other , is -1 .

Thus ;

$( - 3) \times (m) = - 1$

m is the slope of the line which we want.

$- 3m = - 1$

Negatives simplifies

$3m = 1$

Divide sides by 3

$\frac{3m}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \\$

$m = \frac{1}{3} \\$

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

We have following equation to find the point-slope form of the linear functions :

$y - y(0) = m(x - x(0))$

x(0) and y(0) are the coordinates of the point which the line passed through.

$y - 8 = \frac{1}{3} (x - 0) \\$

$y - 8 = \frac{1}{3} x \\$

Add sides 8

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 8 \\$

Done....

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The chances of the first student walking to school is 7/30.

Without replacement, there are 29 students left. Hence the chance of the second student walking to school is 6/29 of the original 7/30 chance.

$(\frac{7}{30} )(\frac{6}{29} )=\frac{7}{145}$

A small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company for over 10 years. So remaining 75 are between 5 and 10 years.

Suppose that one employee is selected at random from a list of the employees

A) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm less than 5 years = $\frac{50}{250 } \\= 0.20$

B) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm between 5 and 10 years

= $\frac{75}{250 } \\= 0.30$

C) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm more than 10 years

= $\frac{125}{250} =0.50$

a) P(A) = 0.2

P(C) = 0.5

P(A or B) = 0.2+0.3 = 0.5

P(A and C) = 0 (since A and C are disjoint)
