The quotient of-54 and 9, subtracted from 8 times a number, is-18

1 answer:

4 0

The number is: " -3 " .
_____________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________
Let "x" be the "unknown number" for which we are to solve.

8x − (-54/9) = -18 ; Solve for "x" ;

→ 8x − (-6) = - 18 ;

→ 8x + 6 = - 18 ;

Subtract "6" from each side of the equation:

→ 8x + 6 − 6 = - 18 − 6 ;

to get: 8x = -24 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "x" ;

8x / 8 = -24 / 8 ;

to get: x = -3 .

The triangles are congruent. So.

Triangle ABC is 24 inch^2 and BC is 4 inches.
The area of a triangle is 0.5 x base x height. The will be 12 because 12 x 4 x 0.5 which equals 24.

Triangle DEF is half the size of ABC because bc is 4 and EF is 2 showing it’s half. This then means the height will be half which then mean it will be 6.

This then means we can use the equation to work it out. So. 6 x 0.5 x 2 = 6in^2

The answer is 6inches^2

Answer:

a) P(x<5)=0.

b) E(X)=15.

c) P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) P=0.216.

e) P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{10},\, \, \, 10\leq x\leq 20 } \atop {0, \, \, \, \, \, \, otherwise }} \right.$

a) We calculate the probability that you need less than 5 minutes to get up:

$P(x$

Therefore, the probability is P(x<5)=0.

b) It takes us between 10 and 20 minutes to get up. The expected value is to get up in 15 minutes.

E(X)=15.

c) We calculate the probability that you will need between 8 and 13 minutes:

$P(8\leq x\leq 13)=P(10\leqx\leq 13)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot [x]_{10}^{13}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot (13-10)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{3}{10}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=0.3$

Therefore, the probability is P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) We calculate the probability that you will be late to each of the 9:30am classes next week:

$P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{14}^{20}\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\P(x>14)=0.6$

You have 9:30am classes three times a week. So, we get:

$P=0.6^3=0.216$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.216.

e) We calculate the probability that you are late to at least one 9am class next week:

$P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{10}^{20}\\\\P(x>9.5)=1$

Therefore, the probability is P=1.

Find the length of XY. Imported Asset 4 8 16 11.3

kompoz [17]

Answer: 8 (The second option).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this exercise you draw a line to a point O, this lines will bisect the angle of Z∠60°. Then will obtain two into two right triangles with two angles of 30° at the point Z.

2. The lenght XY will be twice the lengt XO or YO.

3. Let's calclate XO as following:

$sin(30)=\frac{XO}{8}\\XO=4$

4. Then, XY is:

$XY=2XO\\XY=2*4\\XY=8$
