The answer is:  " 40 books " .
____________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________
Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with.  Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
         x – (1/2)x  + 16 = 36 ;

1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ; 

(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ; 

Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:

(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16  ; 

(1/2)x = 20 ; 

Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ; 

2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ; 

to get:  x = 40 .

The answer is:  " 40 books " .

patriot [66]

Answer:

0.1536

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of probability that the building failure will occur over its life is shown below:-

P(building failure) is

P(ES \cup C)\\\\ = P(ES) + P(C) - P(ES\cap C)\\\\ = P(ES) + P(C) - P(ES) P (C | ES)\\\\ = 0.12 + 0.06 - 0.12 \times 0.22

now we will solve the above equation

= 0.18 - 0.0264

After solving the above equation we will get

= 0.1536

Therefore for computing the probability that the building failure will occur over its life we simply applied the above formula.

The slope of a line passing through H (-2, 5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point on this line?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer:
(6,-1)

Explanation:
The slope of the line can be calculated using the following formula:
slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

We are given that:
slope = -0.75
point (x1,y1) is (-2,5)

We will use each of the given points to calculate the corresponding slope, then compare the calculated slope with the given one.

For point (6,-1):
slope = \frac{-1-5}{6--2} = -0.75 ........> accepted choice

For point (2,8):
slope = \frac{8-5}{2--2} = 0.75 ........> rejected choice

For point (-5,1):
slope = \frac{1-5}{-5--2} = 4/3 ........> rejected choice

For point (1,1):
slope = \frac{1-5}{1--2} = -4/3 ........> rejected choice

Therefore, the first option is the only correct one.

Hope this helps :)
