If -9(x+3)-2x=-5(2x+3)-4 what is 3x

Mathematics
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>3x = -24</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-9(x+3)-2x=-5(2x+3)-4\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(-9)(x)+(-9)(3)-2x=(-5)(2x)+(-5)(3)-4\\\\-9x-27-2x=-10x-15-4\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(-9x-2x)-27=-10x+(-15-4)\\\\-11x-27=-10x-19\qquad\text{add 27 to both sides}\\\\-11x=-10x+8\qquad\text{add 10x to both sides}\\\\-x=8\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\x=-8\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3x=-24

The random variable X is exponentially distributed, where X represents the time it takes for a person to choose a birthday gift.
NeX [460]

Answer:

0.674

Step-by-step explanation:

If the random variable X is exponentially distributed and X has an average value of 25 minutes, then its probability density function (PDF) is

\bf f(x)=\frac{1}{25}e^{-x/25}\;(x\geq 0)

and its cumulative distribution function (CDF) is

\bf P(X\leq t)=\int_{0}^{t} f(x)dx=1-e^{-t/25}

So, <em>the probability that X is less than 28 minutes is </em>

\bf P(X\leq 28)=1-e^{-28/25}=1-e^{-1.12}=0.674

Instructions: Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.<br> 54°<br> 29
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

x = 23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp / hyp

sin 54 = x / 29

29 sin 54 = x

x=23.46149

To the nearest tenth

x = 23.5

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS IN THE PICTURE AND ANSWER PLEASE! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!
Vanyuwa [196]

#5: This is a function. It passes the vertical line test.

#6: This is not a function. It does not pass the vertical line test. For example, x=0 has six y-values paired with that one x-value. A function that does not make.

#7: This passes the vertical line test.

Find the value of x. [ (2x-5) (x+4) = 3x + 30]
Vladimir [108]

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x_5)(x+4)

2x(x+4)_5(x+4)

2x²+8x_5x_20

2x²+3x_20=3x+30

2x²+3x_3x=30+20

2x²=50

√2x²=√50

2x=7.071

2x/2=7.071/2

ans=3.536
