Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The possible outcomes
TTT TTH THT THH HHH HHT HTH HTT = 8 outcomes
There are TTH THT HTT 3 with exactly two tails
P ( exactly 2 tails) = 3/8
36 free throws , 16 games
ratio of free throws to games is 36:16 which reduces to 9:4
u have to pay attention to the wording of problems such as these..because if it would have asked for the ratio of games to free throws, it would have been 16:36 = 4:9
We don't know what the question is.
It could be "What is the selling price ?"
If that's the question, then . . .
Since the store marks up their cost by 60% before they sell
the thing, the price they sell it for is
(1.60 of their cost).
You know their cost. The selling price is (1.60 x $80) .
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's just call the number x for simplicity.
So, 7x is 8 less than x².
Putting this into an equation would look like this
x² - 8 = 7x
It looks like we'll have to factor this to solve. Before we do that we need to move the 7x to the left side so that everything is together.
x² - 7x -8 = 0
Now, we can proceed. To factor we first need to find the factors of -8.
The factors of -8 are
-2 ⋅ 4, -4 ⋅ 2, -1 ⋅ 8, 1 ⋅ -8.
We need to find the pair of factors that adds up to -7. The only ones that do are -1 and 8.
So now that we have these we can create a pair of binomials using them. This will give us the factored form of this equation.
( x + 1 ) ( x - 8 )
To find the solutions we will have to set them to 0 and solve each of these binomials individually.
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
So, one of the solutions is 1. It's not the one we want, since it's positive.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
This is the one we want since it is positive.
