To solve this equation, we must get all of the variables to one side of the equation and all of the constants (numbers) to the other side of the equation. To begin, however, we must add together the two terms on the left side of the equation that both have variables.

5x + 15 + 2x = 24 + 4x

7x + 15 = 24 + 4x

Next, we should subtract 4x from both sides of the equation so that the 4x on the right side cancels out and all of the variable terms are now on the left side.

3x + 15 = 24

Similarly, we also want to subtract 15 from both sides of the equation so that all of the constants are on the right side of the equation and we can get the variable alone on the left side.

3x = 9

Finally, we should divide both sides of the equation by 3 so that we can get rid of the coefficient of 3 on the variable x and get our answer.

x = 3

Therefore, your answer is x = 3.

Hope this helps!

A homeowner has two smoke detector alarms installed, one in the dining room (adjacent to the kitchen) and one in an upstairs bed
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a homeowner has two smoke detector alarms installed, one in the dining room (adjacent to the kitchen) and one in an upstairs bedroom (above the kitchen). If cooking produces smoke in the kitchen, the probability of setting off the dining room alarm (D) is .95. The probability of setting off the bedroom alarm (B) is .40.

Both alarms are independent of each other.

Probability for smoke detection=P(any one alarm rings)

=P(Kitchen alarm sets off)+P(bed room alarm sets off)-P(Both sets off)

Since both are independent

P(Both) = 0.95*0.40\\=0.38

Probability for smoke detection

= 0.95+0.40-0.38

=0.97

Use the following information for the question. Male players at the high school, college and professional ranks use a regulation
Virty [35]

Answer:

13.567%

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question, using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = 23.1 ounces

μ is the population mean = 22.0 ounces

σ is the population standard deviation = 1.0 ounce

More than = Greater than with the sign = >

Hence, for x > 23.1 ounces

z = 23.1 - 22.0/1.0

= 1.1

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<23.1) = 0.86433

P(x>23.1) = 1 - P(x<23.1)

P(x>23.1) = 1 - 0.86433

P(x>23.1) = 0.13567

Converting to percentage

= 0.13567 × 100

= 13.567%

Therefore, the percentage of regulation basketballs that weigh more than 23.1 ounces is 13.567%
