-3(x + 4) + 15 = 6 - 4x......distribute the -3 thru the parenthesis
-3x - 12 + 15 = 6 - 4x....simplify
-3x + 3 = 6 - 4x...add 4x to both sides
-3x + 4x + 3 = 6....subtract 3 from both sides
-3x + 4x = 6 - 3....simplify
x = 3 <==

convert feet to inches using 1 foot = 12 inches

15.5 feet = 15.5 × 12 = 186 inches

multiply this by 2.54 to convert to cm

186 inches = 186 × 2.54 = 472.44 cm

now 1m = 100cm

divide 472.44 by 100 to convert to m

472.44 ÷ 100 =4.7244m

an NFL team kicker misses 2 out of every 11 field goals if he missed 8 filed goals throughout the season how many did he attempt

Aleks [24]

For this equation, you want to do it in fractions/ratios to properly solve it. You would have his average misses out of every field goal and his real missed attempts over total. It would look like this

$\frac{2}{11}$ = $\frac{8}{x}$

You want to solve for x since x is the total amount of field goals that he attempted. You can do this by doing cross multiplication:

(2)(x) = (8)(11)

From here you can get:

2x = 88

Divide each side by 2 to isolate x and you get:

x= 44

So he made a total of 44 field goals.

A riverboat travels 54 km downstream in 2 hours. It travels 57 km upstream in 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat and the speed

irakobra [83]

Here we must write and solve a system of equations to find the speed of the boat and the speed of the stream. We will find that the boat's speed is 23km/h and the river's speed is 4km/h.

First, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time.

Now let's define the variables we will be using:

B = boat's speed
R = river's speed.

When the boat travels downstream, the total speed of the boat is the speed of the boat plus the speed of the river, and we know that in that case it travels 54km in 2 hours, then:

54km = (B + R)*2h

When the boat travels upstream, we must subtract the speed of the river. In that case, we know that the boat travels 57km in 3 hours, then we have:

57km = (B - R)*3h

Then our system of equations is:

54km = (B + R)*2h

57km = (B - R)*3h

To solve this, first, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate B in the second one:

57km = (B - R)*3h

57km/3h + R = B

19 km/h + R = B

Now we can replace that in the other equation:

54km = (B + R)*2h

54km/2h = B + R

27 km/h = B + R = (19 km/h + R) + R

Now we can solve this for R:

27 km/h = 19km/h + 2*R

27 km/h - 19km/h = 2*R

8 km/h = 2*R

(8km/h)/2 = 4km/h = R

Now that we know the value of R, we can use:

B = 19 km/h + R = 19 km/h + 4km/h = 23 km/h

So the boat's speed is 23km/h and the river's speed is 4km/h.

"A study conducted at a certain college shows that 56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year

KiRa [710]

Answer:

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating, or they do not. The probability of a student finding a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that $p = 0.56$

Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

This is $P(X \geq 1)$ when n = 6.

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{6} = 0.0073$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0073 = 0.9927$

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.
