Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 4
Answer:
(x - 8)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 24
Consider the factors of - 24 which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)
The factors are - 8 and + 3 , since
- 8 × + 3 = - 24 and - 8 + 3 = - 5
Use these factors to split the x- term
x² - 8x + 3x - 24 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8) ← factor out (x - 8) from each term
= (x - 8)(x + 3) ← in factored form
To find a percent you multiply the decimal number by 100. OR to be easier just move the decimal number 2 places to the right.
4.3%
Answer:
Proved,
P(A∪B)=0.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Sue travels by bus or walks when she visits the shops.
Probability( catch the bus to the shop ), P(A) = 0.4
Probability( catch the bus from the shop ), P(B) = 0.7
Both A and B are independent events.
Therefore,
P(A∩B) = 0.4×0.7
= 0.28
Probability Sue walks one way = 1 - P(A∩B)
= 1 - 0.28
= 0.72
Hence, the probability that Sue walks at one way is 0.72
