Answer:

The expression to find the elevator's stop = 5 + (-8)

The elevator stops at the floor -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

An elevator starts on the 5th floor.

It descends 8 floors = Moving down 8 floor = -8

So, the expression to find the elevator's stop = 5 + (-8)

It is -3

So the elevator stops at -3.

Fed [463]

Answer:

3, 15, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x + ( 5x -1) = 32

11x - 1 = 32

11x = 32 + 1

11x = 33

11x/11 = 33/11

x = 3

therefore

the first number is 3

the second is 5 × 3 = 15

the third number is 15 - 1 = 14

pogonyaev

Answer:

(–∞, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the absolute value parent function f(x) = |x| is shown in the attached diagram.

We can clearly see that from -∞ to 0, the function is decreasing and from 0 to +∞, it is increasing. This is the basic, parent absolute value function.

THe questions asks, when is it decreasing, so clearly, it is from -∞ to 0.

Mrs. Nally's swimming pool is 10 feet by 6 feet. She paves the area around it with a sidewalk x feet wide, using 80 square feet
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The sidewalk is 2 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the sidewalk is given as 80 square feet

The length and width of pool

including side walks will be;

10 + 2x and 6 + 2x

To get the area of the side walk

That will be area of total minus area of the pool

That will be ;

(10 + 2x)(6 + 2x) - 10(6) = 80

60 + 12x + 20x + 4x^2 - 60 = 80

4x^2 + 32x -80 = 0

x^2 + 8x -20

x^2 + 10x - 2x - 20 = 0

x(x + 10) -2(x + 10) = 0

(x-2)(x + 10) = 0

x = 2 or -10

since width cannot be negative;

The sidewalk is 2 feet wide

A pollster contacts 74 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 38 of them respond and 36 refuse to respond. When 297 peop
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

0,250

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that you looking for is sum of probability of getting someone in the 18-27age (74 persones) and probability to getting someone who refused (36 and 19 persones) - probability of getting some of 18-27 age who refused (36 persons).

The probability is:

P(a or b)= p(a)+p(b)-p(a&b)=74/371+(36+19)/371-36/371=0,199+0,148-0,097=0,250
