Solve for x:  <span>8x-5=-3(3-2x)

1.  Carry out the indicated multiplication:  8x - 5 = - 9 + 6x
2.  Combine like terms:  2x = -4
3.  Solve this final equation for x:     x = -2         (answer)

The first step would be to simplify both sides of the equal sign as much as possible. 
8x - 5 = -3(3 - 2x)
8x - 5 = -9 - (-6x)
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x

Next, you would need to combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign to one on one side of the equal sign and one on the other. 
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x
2x - 5 = -9
2x = -4

Now, all you have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 2. 
2x = -4
x = -2

I hope this helps!

Find the probability of throwing 9 with two dice.
ololo11 [35]
Total number of possible outcomes of throwing two dice = 6×6 = 36
Number of outcomes of getting 9 i.e, (3+6),(4+5),(5+4),(6+3) = 4

P = \frac{Number \: of \: favourable \: outcomes}{ Total \: number \: of \: possible \: outcomes}

P (throwing \: 9) = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}

Which of the following triangles are right triangles? select all apply
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The following Triangles are Right Triangles:

1.  Δ ABC Where AB = 76 in, BC = 357 in, and AC = 365 in.

2. Δ MIT Where MI = 123 cm, IT = 836 cm, and MT = 845 cm.

3. Δ MEL Where ME = 20 ft, EL = 99 ft, and ML = 101 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a Triangle to be a Right Triangle it must Satisfy Pythagoras theorem.

i.e.

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

For Δ ABC Where AB = 76 in, BC = 357 in, and AC = 365 in.

AC² = 365² = 133225

AB² + BC² = 76² + 357² = 1333225

∴  AC² = AB² + BC²

Hence Δ ABC a Right Triangle.

For Δ MIT Where MI = 123 cm, IT = 836 cm, and MT = 845 cm.

MT² = 845² = 71405

MI² + IT² = 123² + 836² = 714025

∴ MT² = MI² + IT²

Hence Δ MIT a Right Triangle.

For  Δ MEL Where ME = 20 ft, EL = 99 ft, and ML = 101 ft.

ML² = 101² = 10201

ME² + EL² = 20² + 99² = 10201

∴ ML² = ME² + EL²

Hence Δ MEL a Right Triangle.

You should use the ratio so 

2/ 4  = 6.5 / n  

n= 6.5 x 4  / 2 =  13 inches 


2- for two hours ------> four inches of snow 
for x hours -----> y inches of snow 
the equation is 
2/4 = x/ y 

x= 2y / 4 
 for x is the hours and y is the inches

5 gr granula ----------------------> 1750 calories 
2 gr granula ----------------------> n ?? calories 

by cross multiplication 
n = 2 x1750 / 5 =  700 calories .

2-
she wants to eat 175 calories so 
u put granula under granula  and calories under calories to make this cross 

<span>5 gr granula ----------------------> 1750 calories 
</span>??? m granula ---------------------> 175 calories 
<span>by cross multiplication </span>
m = 175 x 5 / 1750 =  0.5 gr of granula

2. Suppose that you are looking for a student at your college who lives within five miles of you. You know that 55% of the 25,00
svlad2 [7]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

a) There is a 0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.

b) You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.

c) The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.

d) There is a 0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.

e) It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they live within 5 miles of you, or they do not. The probability of a student living within 5 miles of you is independent of any other student, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • 55% of the students live within five miles of you, thus p = 0.55.

Item a:

This probability is P(X = 0) when n = 3(none of the first three living within five miles of you) multiplied by 0.55(the fourth does live within five miles), hence:

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

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.55)^{0}.(0.45)^{3} = 0.091125

p = 0.091125(0.55) = 0.0501

0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.

Item b:

The expected number of trials in the binomial distribution until q successes is given by:

E = \frac{q}{p}

In this problem, p = 0.55, and 1 trial, thus q = 1, hence:

E = \frac{1}{0.55} = 1.82

You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.

Item c:

The standard deviation of the number of trials until q successes are found is given by:

S = \frac{\sqrt{q(1 - p)}}{p}

Hence, since q = 1, p = 0.55:

S = \frac{\sqrt{0.45}}{0.55} = 1.22

The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.

Item d:

This probability is P(X = 3) when n = 5, hence:

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

P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.55)^{3}.(0.45)^{2} = 0.3369

There is a 0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.

Item e:

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

Hence, since n = 5, p = 0.55:

E(X) = 5(0.55) = 2,75

It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.
