What does x equal in this equation: 24+3x=3x+3(7-1) Please help this is due tomorrow!

1 answer:

3 0

24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)

 24 + 3x = 3x + 18

Subtract 3x from each side: 24 = 18

Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.

That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."

[6+4=10 points] Problem 2. Suppose that there are k people in a party with the following PMF: • k = 5 with probability 1 4 • k =

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

1). 0.903547

2). 0.275617

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given :

K people in a party with the following :

i). k = 5 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

ii). k = 10 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

iii). k = 10 with the probability $\frac{1}{2}$

So the probability of at least two person out of the 'n' born people in same month is = 1 - P (none of the n born in the same month)

= 1 - P (choosing the n different months out of 365 days) = $1-\frac{_{n}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^2}$

1). Hence P(at least 2 born in the same month)=P(k=5 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=10 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=15 and at least 2 born in the same month)

= $\frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{5}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^5})+\frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{10}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{10}})+\frac{1}{2}\times (1-\frac{_{15}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{15}})$
