Let n represent the number.
-13×(n -60) = n +(-59)
-13n +780 = n -59
839 = 14n
839/14 = n = 59 13/14
The number is 59 13/14.
_____
Check
The difference between the number and 60 is
59 13/14 -60 = -1/14
-13 times that value is
-13*(-1/14) = 13/14
Compare that to the number plus -59
59 13/14 -59 = 13/14 . . . . . the same value, as required.

A research paper recommends using Poisson process to model the number of failures in commercial water pipes The paper also gives estimates the failure rate in units of failures per 100 miles of pipe per day; for four different types of pipe and for many different years_ For example, for cast iron pipe in 2005, the authors' estimate is the failure rate is 0.0864 failures per 100 miles per day: Suppose a town had 2500 miles of cast iron pipe underground in 2005 What is the probability of at least two failures
Answer:
x-intercepts: (2,0), (4,0)
y-intercepts: (0,-8)
Explanation:
To find the x intercept(s), you must compute where y=0. So solve 0= -x^2 + 6x - 8. So, the x intercepts are: (2,0) and (4,0) since the solutions to the mentioned equation are x=2 and x=4. To find the y intercept(s) compute what is y when x=0. In this case, when x=0, y=-8. So the only y intercept is (0,-8).
