hawnda incorrectly found the distance between -26 and 25 by following these steps: Step 1: |25 – (-26)| Step 2: |25 – 26| Step 3

: |-1| Step 4: The distance between -26 and 25 is 1. In which step, if any, did Shawnda make a mistake? A) Step 1 B) Step 2 C) Step 3 D) Step 4 E) All steps are correct.

Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 2 is not correct. It should be abs(25 - - 26) = abs(25 + 26) = 51

Given that Step 2 is accepted (as - 1) then three is OK and and so is 4. But technically they are incorrect as well. I think you are likely to say that step 2 is the problem.

Help asap my last question GIVING BRAINLIST!!!!

Alex

Answer:

1) $x < 0$

2) $x > 0$

3) $x < 10$

4) $x < -\frac{31}{55}$

5) $x \geq 0$

6) $x \geq -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) $-3 > 2x -3$

$2x- 3 < -3$

$2x - 3 + 3 < -3 +3$

$2x < 0$

$\frac{2x}{2} < \frac{0}{2}$

$x < 0$

2) $5 > -x + 5$

$-x + 5 < 5$

$- x + 5 -5 < 5 - 5$

$-x < 0$

$\frac{-x}{-1} < \frac{0}{-1}$

$x > 0$

3) $\frac{x}{5} -2 < 0$

$5 \times (\frac{x}{5} - 2 ) \times 5 < 0$

$x - 10 < 0$

$x -10 + 10 < 0 +10$

$x < 10$

4) $-5x + 11 > 31$

$-5x \cdot 11 < 31$

$-55x < 31$

$\frac{-55x}{-55} > \frac{31}{-55}$

$x < -\frac{31}{55}$

5) $\frac{1}{2}x - 4 \geq -4$

$\frac{1}{2}x -4 +4 \geq -4 +4$

$\frac{1}{2}x \geq 0$

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}x }{\frac{1}{2} } \geq \frac{0}{\frac{1}{2} }$

$x \geq 0$

6) $-4x + 2 \leq 6$

$-4x +2 - 2 \leq 6 -2$

$-4x < 4$

$\frac{-4x}{-4} \leq \frac{4}{-4}$

$x \geq -1$

What is <br><br> 3x+2y=-13<br> 3x+4y=1

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The values are

x = -25/9 = -2 7/9

y = 7/3 = 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = -13 --------eqn 1

3x + 4y = 1-------------eqn2

Using eqn 2 to get the value of y

3x + 4y = 1

4y = 1 - 3x

Dividing both sides by 4,to get y

4y/4 =( 1 -3x) / 4

y = (1 - 3x) / 4

Since we've gotten the value for y, substitute the value into eqn 1

3x + 2y = -13

3x + 2(3x - 1)/4 = -13

Opening the bracket

3x + (6x - 2)/4 = -13

LCM = 4

(12x + 6x - 2) / 4 = -13

18x - 2 / 4 = -13

Then we cross multiply

18x - 2 = -13 * 4

18x - 2 = - 52

18x = -52 + 2

18x = -50

Divide both sides by 18, to get the value of x

18x/18 = -50/18

x = -25/9

or x = -2 7/9

The value of x is now known, so let's go back to eqn 2

Substitute x = - 25/9

3x + 4y = 1

3(-25/9) + 4y = 1

Open the bracket

-75/9 + 4y = 1

Make y the subject of the formula

4y = 1 + 75/9

LCM = 9

4y = (9 + 75)/ 9

4y = 84/9

To get y, divide both sides by 4

4y/4 = 84/9 / 4/1

y =

Note : when division changes to multiplication, it always be in its reciprocal form

y = 84/9 / 1/4

y = 84 * 1 / 9 *4

y = 84/ 36

y = 7/3

Or

y = 2 1/3

It is assumed that the time customers spend in a record store is uniformly distributed between 3 and 12 minutes. Based on this i

monitta

Answer:

0% probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

$P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}$

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

$P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}$

The probability of finding a value above x is:

$P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}$

The uniform distribution is a continuous distribution, which means that the probability of an exact outcome is zero.

Uniformly distributed between 3 and 12 minutes.

This means that $a = 3, b = 12$

What is the probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store?

Continuous distribution, so:

0% probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store.

Help me please- thank you

Answer:

y=-8/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of perpendicular lines is the opposite reciprocal of the original equation.

To get the opposite reciprocal, flip the fraction and use the opposite sign.

Here, the slope is -8/5 because that is the opposite of 5/8.

To get the equation of the line, use point-slope and then distribute to get the equation in y=mx+b format.

Point slope: y-y1=m(x-x1). Use the coordinate (5,-4) in the equation.

y+4=-8/5(x-5)

Multiply (x-5) by -8/5 and simplify.

y+4=-8/5x+8

y=-8/5x+4
