Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For me it's easier to work with decimals than fractions, so I converted 3/4 to .75

.75(x + 18) = 15

.75x + 13.5 = 15

That was just distributing the .75 but here is where it gets a bit confusing.

.75x + 13.5 = 15

.75x = 1.5

Divide both sides by .75 to isolate the variable.

x = 2

Hope that helps and have a great day!

A bag contains 4 blue coins and 8 red coins. A coin is removed at random and replaced by three of the other color.

guajiro [1.7K]

the answer is 11/14 because you remove one blue coin and add three red coins and in total in the bag there are 14 coins. you then create a fraction by putting the 11 red coins over the 14 total coins to get the probability of what you will get

The answer is 11/14

A pencil and ruler cost 1.50 together. The ruler is 1.00 more. How much is pencil

Stella [2.4K]

Ok so the solution which greenrune will (hopefully) correct

total is 1.5
p+r=1.5
rule is 1 more than pencil
r=1+p
sub 1+p for r
p+1+p=1.5
2p+1=1.5
minus 1 from both sides
2p=0.5
divide both sides by 2
p=0.25

pencil=$0.25

Plzz hellp :( i will mark you the brainlist if some on helps (A rectangular prism has a length of 1 1/4 yards, a width of 2 1/2

Veseljchak [2.6K]

The volume of rectangular prism is the product of its length, width and height.
So the volume V of prism with length $1 \frac{1}{4}$ yards, width $2 \frac{1}{2}$ yards and height of 4 yards will be:

$V=1 \frac{1}{4} * 2 \frac{1}{2} *4 \\ \\ 
V= \frac{5}{4}* \frac{5}{2}*4 \\ \\ 
V= \frac{25}{2} \\ \\ 
V=12 \frac{1}{2}$

Thus the volume of prism as a mixed number in simplest form will be $12 \frac{1}{2}$ cubic yards

The quartiles of any distribution are the values with cumulative proportions 0.25 and 0.75. What are the quartiles of the standa

choli [55]

$\mathbb P(X\le Q_1)=F_X(Q_1)=0.25\implies Q_1={F_X}^{-1}(0.25)\approx-0.6745$

where $F_X(x)$ is the CDF for $X\sim\mathcal N(0,1)$ .

By symmetry of the distribution, you then have

$Q_3=-Q_1\approx0.6745$
