<span>Leah,  Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish.  So, x + 2x=27;  Combine the like terms.  So, 3x=27;  Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught.  So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught.  Check:  9 +2(9)=27;  27=27.</span>

What is the value of x? <br><br><br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%20x%20-%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B10%

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4}{5} x - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 5 and 10 ) to clear the fractions

8x - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )

8x = 4 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}

A power lifter is leg-pressing 720 pounds on a leg press machine. The angle of the press is 60 degrees. What is the actual weigh
Triss [41]

Since, the angle between the machine and angle of press is 60^{\circ} as shown in the attached image.

Therefore, the actual weight lifted by the power lifter is given by w \times \cos \Theta

where 'w' stands for the weight being lifted and \Theta is the angle of press.

Now,

actual weight lifted by the power lifter = 720 \times \cos 60^{\circ}

= 720 \times \frac{1}{2} = 360 pounds.

The probability that the participant was a nonsmoker is 25%.

<h3><u>Probability</u> </h3>

Given that at the beginning of a certain study of a group of persons, 15% were classified as heavy smokers, 30% as light smokers, and 55% as nonsmokers, and in the five-year study, it was determined that the death rates of the heavy and light smokers were five and three times that of the nonsmokers, respectively, to calculate, if a randomly selected participant died over the five-year period, the probability that the participant was a nonsmoker, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 15 x 5 = 75
  • 30 x 3 = 90
  • 55 = 55
  • 55 + 90 + 75 = 220
  • 220 = 100
  • 55 = X
  • 55 x 100 / 220 = x
  • 5500 / 220 = X
  • 25 = X

Therefore, the probability that the participant was a nonsmoker is 25%.
