<u>Answer</u>

y= 105

 

<u>Explanation</u>

X=8

Y=20

So,

x/y = 8/20

      = 2/5

x=(2/5)y

y= (5/2)x

When x=42

y=(5/2)×42

   =105

In this problem, we need to use the concept of proportions. Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal. So, we have two numbers, namely:

x=8 \ and \ y=20

So, the given proportion is:

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{20} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{5}

That is, x-out-of-y is equal to 2-out-of-5

On the other hand, we know that x=42, so by using the previous proportion we have:

\frac{42}{y}=\frac{2}{5} \\ \\ Isolating \ y: \\ \\ y=\frac{42 \times 5}{2} \\ \\ y=\boxed{105}

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

first, expand the left side of the equation (distributive property):

2x + 6 = x - 4

then, subtract x and 6 on both sides to put like terms together:

2x - x = -4 - 6

combine like terms:

x = -10

done! hope this helps!

What is p(4,4) on two consecutive rolls of a number cube
Fiesta28 [93]
The probability of rolling 1 number, a four, on a 6-sided number cube, is 1/6.
On the second roll, the probability of rolling 1 number, a four, is again 1/6 (remember theoretical probability for one event does not consider previous rolls).
But the probability of rolling a four on 2 on consecutive rolls will be the probability of the first event times the probability of the second event. Think of it as rolling a four on the first time and the second time, and whenever there is "and" you need to multiply the probabilities. The probability of rolling a four on two consecutive rolls is 
(1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36.
