Thirty cows. Twenty-eight chickens. How many didn't?

1/5x + 4 =1/3x-8 <br> Can you show your work too? That would be great

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5x+4=1/3x-8

add 8 to both sides and subtract 1/5x from both sides

4+8=1/3x-1/5x

12=5/15x-3/15x

12=2/15x

divide both sides by 2/15

12÷2/15=x

when dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply

12*15/2=x

90=x

CHECK:

1/5(90)+4=1/3(90)-8

18+4=30-8

22=22

X + 2y = 10<br> 3x + 4y = 8<br><br> Which point is the solution to the system of equations?

bija089 [108]

Answer:

x = -12

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

i used substitution and let 'x' = 10 - 2y

3(10 - 2y) + 4y = 8

30 - 6y + 4y = 8

30 -2y = 8

-2y = -22

y = 11

x + 2(11) = 10

x + 22 = 10

x = -12

Purchasing A regional survey found that 70% of all families who indicated an intention to buy a new car bought a new car within

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

If a family chosen at random bought a car, we need to find the probability that the family had not previously indicated an intention to buy a car = P(I'|B) = 0.3362

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event that a family that intends to buy a car be I

Let the event that a family does not intend to buy a car be I'

Let the event that a family buys a car in those 3 months be B

Let the event that a family does not buy a car in those 3 months be B'

Given,

P(B|I) = 0.70

P(B|I') = 0.10

P(I) = 0.22

P(I') = 1 - P(I) = 1 - 0.22 = 0.78

If a family chosen at random bought a car, we need to find the probability that the family had not previously indicated an intention to buy a car = P(I'|B)

The conditional probability P(A|B), is given as

P(A|B) = P(A n B) ÷ P(B)

So,

P(B|I) = P(B n I) ÷ P(I)

P(B n I) = P(B|I) × P(I) = 0.70 × 0.22 = 0.154

P(B|I') = P(B n I') ÷ P(I')

P(B n I') = P(B|I') × P(I') = 0.10 × 0.78 = 0.078

P(B) = P(B n I) + P(B n I') = 0.154 + 0.078 = 0.232

P(B') = 1 - 0.232 = 0.768

P(I'|B) = P(B n I') ÷ P(B)

= 0.078 ÷ 0.232 = 0.3362

Hope this Helps!!!

The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. If y =35 when x = 140, what is the value of y when x =70?

torisob [31]

17.5 because 140 divided by 35 is 17.5 and so is 70 divided by 35.

Well the area of a trapezoid is defined by the following formula:
A = $\frac{1}{2}(b_{1} + b_{2})h$ where b₁ and b₂ are the bases of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid.

Let's plug in what we know into this formula:
h = 7 the perpendicular distance between the two bases
b₁ = 15 the shorter parallel side
b₂ = 25 the longer parallel side made up of 4 + 15 + 6
so, A = $\frac{1}{2} (15+25)(7)=140$

This is in square units of measure of course, so 140 in²
