Answer:
x = -5, x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If the two expressions multiplied together is 0, that means that one of the expressions would have to equal 0. This gives us two possible answers. Our two equations are now:
x + 5 = 0
2x - 3 = 0
We will first solve the first one!
To isolate x, we subtract 5 from both sides to get:
x = -5
Onto the second one!
We begin to isolate x by adding 3 to both sides.
2x = 3
Now we divide both sides by 2.
x = 3/2 or 1.5

<em>Two possible answers below</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability and Sets</u>
We are given two sets: Students that play basketball and students that play baseball.
It's given there are 29 students in certain Algebra 2 class, 10 of which don't play any of the mentioned sports.
This leaves only 29-10=19 players of either baseball, basketball, or both sports. If one student is randomly selected, then the propability that they play basketball or baseball is:

P = 0.66
Note: if we are to calculate the probability to choose one student who plays only one of the sports, then we proceed as follows:
We also know 7 students play basketball and 14 play baseball. Since 14+7 =21, the difference of 21-19=2 students corresponds to those who play both sports.
Thus, there 19-2=17 students who play only one of the sports. The probability is:

P = 0.59
one way to do this is to convert each fraction to same denominator ( the LCD)
Well we can eliminate -3/5 because its negative so 4/7 is definitely > -3/5.
4/7 = 16/28 and 3/4 = 21/28
so 4/7 < 3/4
Therfore 4/7 does lie between the 2 fractions
Answer:
x = 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem features a ratio: 4x/3 = 6/5
By cross multiplying you get that 4x*5 = 3*6 or 20x = 18. By dividing both sides by 20, you get that x = 18/20, and when simplified, 9/10.
2 2/3 = 2x3+2/3 = 8/3
8/3 / 1/3 = 8/3 x 3/1 = 8/1 = 8
