PLEASE HELP!!!! Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4. 1 −1 −5 −25

1. 5 less than one fourth of x is y.

horsena [70]

Answer

y = (1/4)x - 5 or 4y - x + 20 = 0

Explanation

To get the rule required, we interpret the sentence and write it in a mathematical form.

5 less than one fourth of x is y

one fourth of x ⇒ (1/4)x

5 less than one fourth of x is y ⇒ (1/4)x - 5 = y

y = (1/4)x - 5

4y = x - 20

4y - x + 20 = 0

Help I’m almost out of time

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can idenfity in the figure that $\angle FCE$ is formed by two secants that intersect outside of the given circle.

It is important to remember that, by definition:

$Angle\ formed\ by\ two\ Secants=\frac{1}{2}( Difference\ of\ intercepted\ Arcs)$

Knowing this, you can set up the following equation:

$m\angle FCE=\frac{1}{2}(BD-FE)$

Therefore, you must substitute values into the equation and then evaluate, in order to find the measure of the angle $\angle FCE$ .

This is:

$m\angle FCE=\frac{1}{2}(112\°-38\°)\\\\m\angle FCE=37\°$

If a toy truck is created in a 2:9 scale, and the wheel of the toy is 14cm wide, how wide is the actual wheel?

lesya [120]

Answer:63 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The scale of creation is 2:9

The width of the toy wheel is 14 cm

Suppose x is the actual width of the truck

$\therefore \dfrac{2}{9}=\dfrac{14}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{9}{2}\times 14=63\ cm$

Thus, the width of actual truck is 63 cm

A committee of 15 members is voting on a proposal. Each member casts a yea or nay vote. On a random voting basis, what is the pr

Igoryamba

Answer:

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they vote yes, or they vote no. The probability of a person voting yes or no is independent of any other person. 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.

Random voting:

So 50% of voting yes, 50% no, so $p = 0.5$

15 members:

This means that $n = 15$

What is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?

Either all vote no(P(X = 0)) or all vote yes(P(X = 15)). So

$p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00003$

$P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.00003$

So

$p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15) = 0.00003 + 0.00003 = 0.00006$

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.
