Answer:

x = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

First we distribute

5x + 35 + 2 = 4x - 4 + 1

Collect like terms

5x + 37 = 4x - 3

Subtract 37 from both sides

5x = 4x - 40

Subtract 4x from both sides

1x = -40 OR x = -40

Answer:

x = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

First we distribute

5x + 35 + 2 = 4x - 4 + 1

Collect like terms

5x + 37 = 4x - 3

Subtract 37 from both sides

5x = 4x - 40

Subtract 4x from both sides

1x = -40 OR x = -40

A poker hand consisting of 9 cards is dealt from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that the hand contains exactl
Andrew [12]

Answer: \dfrac{^{12}C_{6}\times^{40}C_3}{^{52}C_9} or  \dfrac{228}{91885} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A poker hand consisting of 9 cards is dealt from a standard deck of 52 cards.

The total number of cards in a deck 52

Number of faces cards in a deck = 12

Number of cards not face cards = 40

The total number of combinations of drawing 9 cards out of 52 cards = ^{52}C_9

Now , the combination of 9 cards such that exactly 6 of them are  face cards =  ^{12}C_{6}\times^{40}C_3

Now , the probability that the hand contains exactly 6 face cards will be :-

\dfrac{^{12}C_{6}\times^{40}C_3}{^{52}C_9}

=\dfrac{\dfrac{12!}{6!6!}\times\dfrac{40!}{3!37!}}{\dfrac{52!}{9!\times43!}}\ \ [\because\ ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}]\\\\=\dfrac{228}{91885}

Hence, the probability that the hand contains exactly 6 face cards. is  \dfrac{228}{91885} .

Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence −15, −33, −51, −69, .... An equation for the nth term of the
stira [4]

Given:

The arithmetic sequence is −15, −33, −51, −69.

To find:

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

Solution:

We have,

−15, −33, −51, −69

Here,

First term: a = -15

Common difference is

d = -33-(-15)

d = -33+15

d = -18

Now, nth term  of an arithmetic sequence is

a_n=a+(n-1)d

Substitute a=-15 and d=-18.

a_n=-15+(n-1)(-18)

a_n=-15-18n+18

a_n=-18n+3

Therefore, the nth term of the given arithmetic sequence is a_n=-18n+3.

Johnathan ran 5 days this week. The most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles. Write an inequality that shows the distance johnathan
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<em><u>An inequality that shows the distance Johnathan could of ran any day this week is:</u></em>

x\leq 3.5

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the distance Johnathan can run any day of this week

Given that,

Johnathan ran 5 days this week. The most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles

Therefore,

Number of days ran = 5

The most he ran in 1 day = 3.5 miles

Thus, the maximum distance he ran in a week is given as:

distance = 5 \times 3.5 = 17.5

The maximum distance he ran in a week is 17.5 miles

If we let x be the distance he can run any day of this week then, we get a inequality as:

x\leq 3.5

If we let y be the total distance he can travel in a week then, we may express it as,

y\leq 17.5

SOMEONE PLEASE HELLPPPP
ipn [44]

Answer:

93.39

Step-by-step explanation:

So the sum of exterior angles of the convex octagon is: 360 degrees

This means if we add all the equations that represent each angle, we can set it equal to 360 and solve for x

(x+14) + (2x-3) + (3x+8) + (3x+16) + (2x-17) + (3x-4) + (3x-12) + (6x)

Group like terms

(x+2x+3x+3x+2x+3x+3x+6x) + (14-3+8+16-17-4-12)

Add like terms

23x+2

Now let's set the sum of exterior angles to 360

23x+2 = 360

Subtract 2 from both sides

23x=358

Divide both sides by 23

x\approx 15.565

So by looking at all these, it appears that 6x is the highest value, given that x is positive. The way I estimated, is approximately 15.5, whenever I saw an equation like x+14, I estimated it's about 2x, since 14 is not exactly, but close to 15.5. I did this with each polynomial given. You could also manually check each one

Original equation

6x

Subsitute

6(15.565)

Simplify
