Answer:

5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that multiplying a sum or difference of two terms by a number is equal to multiplying the same number with each term of the sum or difference separately and then adding the products.

It can be written as:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

a(b-c) = ab - ac

So, for the given question,

=>5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)

The area of a rectangular garden is 38 1/4 square meters the width of the garden is 4 1/2 meters what is the length of the garde

Snowcat [4.5K]

Hello...

Area is measured by the formula A=L*W (Area = Length X Width) We know the area is 38 1/4 and the width is 4 1/2. It is easiest to convert them to decimals and solve. 38 1/4 = 38.25 and 4 1/2= 4.5 . so, 38.25 = 4.5 * W

To solve for Width, we need to isolate it by getting 4.5 on the other side. To do this, we divide by 4.5 on both sides of the equals sign. this will give us W=8.5 or Width = 8 1/2 meters.

John is at a local bait shop; he wants to buy bait for his fishing trip. At the store, they are selling live bait for $12 a poun

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$x\geq3$

$12x+7y\leq63$

$y\geq0$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x be the amount of live bait and y be the amount of natural bait, Then we can come up with the following inequalities;

We are told that John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait. At least 3 means 3 or more. Since x represents the amount of live bait, we have;

$x\geq3$

Moreover,we are informed that;

The store sells live bait for $12 a pound and natural bait for $7 a pound. x pounds of live bait would cost 12x while y pounds of natural bait would cost 7y. The total cost would thus be;

12x + 7y

but John only has a budget of $63. This implies that he can spend $63 at most, thus;

$12x+7y\leq63$

Finally we can have our last inequality as;

$y\geq0$

X and y are normal random variables with e(x) = 2, v(x) = 5, e(y) = 6, v(y) = 8 and cov(x,y)=2. determine the following: e(3x 2y

andriy [413]

The result for the given normal random variables are as follows;

a. E(3X + 2Y) = 18

b. V(3X + 2Y) = 77

c. P(3X + 2Y < 18) = 0.5

d. P(3X + 2Y < 28) = 0.8729

<h3>What is normal random variables?</h3>

Any normally distributed random variable having mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1 is referred to as a standard normal random variable. The letter Z will always be used to represent it.

Now, according to the question;

The given normal random variables are;

E(X) = 2, V(X) = 5, E(Y) = 6, and V(Y) = 8.

Part a.

Consider E(3X + 2Y)

$\begin{aligned}E(3 X+2 Y) &=3 E(X)+2 E(Y) \\&=(3) (2)+(2)(6 )\\&=18\end{aligned}$
