Answer:
X = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Question: The sum of three numbers in order is 57. the equation that represents this is x (x 1) (x 2) = 57. which value of x from the set {16, 17, 18, 19} makes the equation true?
Answer: First you can use the equation to work out the value of x.
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 57
Simplify the equation.
3x + 3 = 57.
Now solve the equation.
57 - 3 = 54
54/3 = 18
In short, The value of x is 18.

Answer:
The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship
The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5
Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship
The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7
The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)
P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7
The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7
= 0.514
Answer:
-2.61803398875, -0.38196601125
or
(-3±√5)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, expand. (2x+3)² = 4x²+12x+9=5
4x²+12x+4 = 0
Quadratic equations take the form ax²+bx+c = 0
In this case,
a = 4
b = 12
c = 4
You can solve with the equation x=(-b±√b²-4ac)/2a
Plug in:
(-12±√144-64)/8
(-12±√80)/8
(-12±√2^4×5)/8
(-12±4√5)/8
(-3±√5)/2
Final answer x = (-3±√5)/2
If you want decimal form: -2.61803398875, -0.38196601125
