Steps:

(x-2)=4x

Pretend that there is a one in front of x-2

1(x-2)=4x

Multiply the bracket by 1

x-2=4x

Move x to the other side .Whenever you move a number or letter the sign changes.

x-x-2=4x-x

-2=3x

Divide by 3 for -2 and 3

-2/3=3/3 x

x=-2/3

Check answer by using substitution method

(-2/3-2)=4(-2/3)

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

-8/3=-8/3

Answer is -2/3

EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY. A man was struck by a speeding taxi as he crossed the street. An eyewitness testified the taxi (which did
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The probability the man was hit by a Blue Cab taxi is 41%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of bayesian probability, we have to calculate P(B|Wr), or, given the witness saw the right colour, the taxi is from the Blue Cab company.

According to Bayes

P(B|Wr) = P(Wr|B)*P(B)/P(Wr)

P(Wr|B) = 0,8

P(B) = 0.15

To calculate P(Wr), or the probability of the witness of guessing right, we have to consider the two possibilities:

1) The taxi is from Blue Cab (B) and the witness is right (Wr).

2) The taxi is from Green Cab (G) and the witness is wrong (Ww).

The total probality of guessing right is

P(B)*P(Wr) + P(G)*P(Ww) = 0.15*0.8 + 0.85*0.2 = 0.29

So we can calculate:

P(B|Wr) = P(Wr|B)*P(B)/P(Wr) = 0.8*0.15/0.29 = 0.41

The probability the man was hit by a Blue Cab taxi is 41%.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jar contains 200 old dimes

Chances to pick the 1960s is 20% i.e. 1960s is 20% of 200 old dimes

So, we can write

\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=20\%\ \text{of}\ 200=0.2\times 200\\\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=40

Answer:

  x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel lines divide the segments proportionally.

  x/27 = 28/36

  x = 27(28/36) . . . . multiply by 27 (in your head: (3·9)(4·7)/(4·9) = 3·7)

  x = 21
