Mathematics
1 answer:
aalyn [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

X= -13

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to get x by itself!

<em>Rule of thumb: whatever you do to the left, you MUST do to the right</em>

Step 1: Subtract 8 from the left side of the equation (the  =  sign)

x + 8 = (-5)

  - 8 --> this gets x by itself

Step 2: Subtract 8 from (-5) on the right side <em>(because you did it on the left</em>

x = (-5)

     - 8

*<em>note: x is now by itself*</em>

Step 3: Solve!

x = (-5) - 8 -13

x = -13

One minute later at 8:01pm. One lighthouse will flash 3 times (at 20, 40 and 60 seconds)...the other will flash twice (at 30 and 60 seconds). So they will both flash 60 seconds later, at 8:01

a scout meeting lasts 2 hours. if 36 minutes was spent on making dream catchers, what percentage of the meeting is left
Llana [10]

Answer:

70% of the meeting is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to convert the hours to minutes.

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes

For 2 hours:

1 /60 = 2/x

x = 2 (60)

x = 120 minutes

So, a scout meeting last 120 minutes (2 hours)

36 minutes already spent.

120-36 = 84 minutes left

So, if 120 is the 100% of the meeting, for 84 minutes:

120/100 = 84/x

1.2 =84/x

x = 84/1.2

x = 70%

70% of the meeting is left.

The time to failure (in hours) of fans in a personal computer can be modeled by an exponential distribution with l=0.0003
Dvinal [7]

Answer: 0.0497870 ; 0.87754

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

λ = 0.0003

Defining a continuous distribution function :

F(x) = 1 - e^-λx = 1 - e^-0.0003x ; x ≥ 0

a. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours?

P(x ≥ 10000) = e^-0.0003(10000) = 0.0497870

b. What proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours?

P(x ≥ 7000) = 1 - p(x ≤ 7000) = 1 - e^-0.0003(7000)

1 - 0.12245642825 = 0.87754
