What is the value of x? <br> (x + 40)° (3x)°<br><br> A. 20<br> B.35 <br> C. 60<br> D. 70

Olenka [21]

Hello!

We are given the equation below.

x+40=3x

We want to get all of the variables on side. First of all let's subtract 40 from both sides.

x=3x-40

Now we rearrange our equation so the commutative property will work.

x=3x+(-40)
x=-40+3x

Now we subtract 3x from both sides.

-2x=-40

We divide both sides by -2.

x=20

Our answer is A) 20.

I hope this helps!

6-2n is greater than or equal to one half n

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$n \leqslant 2.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6 - 2n \geqslant \frac{1}{2} n$

Subtract 6 from both sides:.

$- 2n \geqslant \frac{1}{2} n - 6$

Subtract 1/2n from both sides:

$- 2 \frac{1}{2} n \geqslant 6$

$2 \frac{1}{2} n \leqslant 6$

Multiply 2 on both sides:

$5n \leqslant 12$

Divide both sides by 5

$n \leqslant 2.4$

You have a friend who claims to psychic. You don't believe this so you test your friend by flipping a coin 20 times and having h

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Given that your friend in not really psychic, he has a probability of P=1.5% of guessing right 15 out of 20 coin flips.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a binomial distribution problem.

We have to calculate the probability of correctly guessing 15 out of 20 flips of a coin (probability of success for every trial: p=0.5).

We can calculate that with the binomial distribution formula:

$P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}p^x(1-p)^{n-x} \\\\P(15)=\frac{20!}{15!*5!}0.5^{15}*0.5^5\\\\P(15)=15504*0.5^{20}=15504* 0.00000095367 = 0.015$

Then we can conclude that, given that your friend in not really psychic, it has only 1.5% of guessing right 15 out of 20 coin flips.
