1/5x-8=4. what does x. equal​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply everything by 5, then you can get rid of the fraction and the equation would now look like this:

x - 40 = 20

and now you can answer this simply

x - 40 = 20

  +40   +40

x = 60

and since you multiplied 5 beforehand, now you have to divide by 5 to get the real answer

60 ÷ 5 = 12

therefore, x = 12

At the market, 5 light bulbs cost $9. How much do 7 light bulbs cost?
Rudiy27
Hello!

To solve this, find the cost of a single light bulb first, by dividing 9 / 5.

9 / 5 ==> 1.80

One light bulb is $1.80

Now, multiply 1.80 by 7.

1.80 * 7 = 12.6

7 light bulbs cost $12.6

Hope this helps! ☺♥

Twelve percent of U.S. residents are in their forties. Consider a group of nine U.S. residents selected at random. Find the prob
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The probability is 28 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, there are only two possible outcomes in every trails ( residents are in their forties or not ),

So, this is a binomial distribution,

Binomial distribution formula,

Probability of success in x trials,

P(x)=^nC_x p^x q^{n-x}

Where, ^nC_x=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

p and q are probability of success and failure respectively and n is the total number of trials.

Let X be the event of resident who are in his or her forties.

Here, p = 12% = 0.12,

⇒ q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88,

n = 9,

Hence, the probability that two or three of the people in the group are in their forties = P(X=2) + P(X=3)

^9C_2 (0.12)^2 (0.88)^{9-2}+^9C_3 (0.12)^3 (0.88)^{9-3}

=36(0.12)^2 (0.88)^7+84(0.12)^3 (0.88)^6

=0.279266611163

\approx 0.28

=28\%

Whats the center and the radius of the circle(x+4)²+(y+6)²=64
inessss [21]

Answer:

The center is (-4,-6) and the radius is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+4)²+(y+6)²=64

The equation of a circle can be written in the form

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r^2

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

Rewriting the equation

(x - -4)²+(y- -6)²=8^2

The center is (-4,-6) and the radius is 8
