The equation would be x+5*-2=6.

The result of that equation would be x=16

X+5-(-2)=6
Subtract 5 from 5 and 6 which will give you x+(-2)=6 then subtract -2 which gives you x=8

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

4, 6, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using a system of equations:

1) a + b + c = 11

2) 2a + 5b + 6c = 44

3) 4a - b = 10

First, we can substitute the value of b from equation #3 into equation #1:

b = 4a - 10

a + (4a - 10) + c = 11

5a - 10 + c = 11

5a + c = 21

c = 21 - 5a

Now, we can plug the values of b and c into equation #2, as b and c are represented in terms of a:

2a + 5(4a - 10) + 6(21 - 5a) = 44

2a + 20a - 50 + 126 - 30a = 44

-8a + 76 = 44

-8a = -32

a = 4

b = 4a - 10 = 4(4) - 10 = 6

c = 21 - 5a = 21 - 5(4) = 1

Among 9 electrical components exactly one is known not to function properly. if 4 components are randomly selected, find the pro
seraphim [82]

Answer:

0.4444

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following property to ease the calculation:

P(At least one)=1-P(None)

Total number of electrical components: 9

Number that does not function well :1

Number that functions well : 8

We have ^8C_4=70 ways to to choose 4 good components from 8.

We have ^9C_4=126 ways to choose 4 components from a total of 9.

If all function properly then none is bad, we ^1C_0=1 way to do this.

P(At least one)=1-\frac{^8C_4*^1C_0}{^9C_4}

P(At least one)=1-\frac{70*1}{126}

P(At least one)=0.4444
