Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

AM = 3x + 3

AB = 8x - 6

Point M is the midpoint of AB.

So, AM = AB/2

3x + 3 = (8x - 6)/2

Multiplying both sides by 2.

2(3x + 3) = 8x - 6

Expanding brackets.

6x + 6 = 8x - 6

Subtracting 6x from both sides.

6 = 2x - 6

Adding 6 to both sides.

12 = 2x

Dividing both sides by 2.

6 = x

Let x = 6 for the length of AM.

Answer:

AM= Half of AB

or, 3x+3=(8x-6)/2

or, 6x+6=8x-6

or, 2x=12

Therefore,x=6

so,AM=3*6+3=21

So the units is 21

. Samantha is three times as old as Jason. The sum<br> of their ages is 56 years. How old is each?

8_murik_8 [283]

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of samantha be 3x and age of jason be x.(since samantha is three times as old as jason)

Now,

3x+x=56 (sum of their ages is 56)

or 4x=56

or x=56/4

or x=14

therefore age of samantha=3x=3×14=42

age of jason = x = 14

A sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to

Archy [21]

Answer:

0.2916, 0.1488, 0.0319

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to have oil added.

Since each trial is independent there is a constant probability for any random car to need oil is 0.10

Let X be the number of cars that need oil

A) Here X is BIN(4,0.1)

$P(X=1) = 4C1(0.1)(0.9)^3 \\= 0.2916$

B) Here X is Bin (8, 0.1)

$P(x=2) = 8C2 (0.1)^2 (0.9)^6\\\\=0.1488$

C) Here X is Bin (20,5)

$P(x=5) = 20C5 (0.1)^5 (0.9)^{15} \\=0.0319$
