Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(2x + 5) - 3 = -3(x - 1)

-4x - 10 - 3 = -3x + 3

-4x - 13 = -3x + 3

-x = 16

x = -16 <--- This is the answer

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute -2

-2 * 2x =-4x

-2 * 5 = -10

-4x - 10 -3 = -3 (x-1)

distribute -3

-3 * x = -3x

-3 * -1 = 3

-4x - 10 -3 = -3x + 3

combine like terms

-4x -13 = -3x + 3

-4x + 3x = -x

3 + 13 = 16

-x = 16

divide by -1

x = -16

You've just purchased 12 lb of celery. You take it back to your kitchen and proceed to trim and cut it into pieces, ending up wi

Alecsey [184]

We should know that ⇒ 1 lb = 16 oz

The amount of purchased celery = 12 lb = 12 * 16 = 192 oz
Trim and cut it into pieces, ending up with 5.5 oz of trim.

The yield will be = 192/5.5 = 34.91

Taking the smallest integer number.

So, the yield = 34

which will be equal = 34*5.5 = 187 oz


So, the yield percentage = $\frac{187}{192} *100 = 97.4 \%$

During the spring car wash, the activities club washed 14 fewer cars than during the summer car wash. They washed a total of 96

Mashutka [201]

You can make an equation to solve this, but establishing knowns, unknowns, and relationships.

# in spring wash = x
# in summer = x + 14
Total Washes = 96

we know:
total = summer + spring

96 = (x) + (x + 14)
96 = 2x + 14
82 = 2x

"x" = 41

EasyElectrics supermarket orders light bulbs from suppliers, AA Electronics and AAA Electronics. EasyElectrics purchases 30% of

saw5 [17]

Answer: (a) 0.006

(b) 0.027

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : P(AA) = 0.3 and P(AAA) = 0.70

Let event that a bulb is defective be denoted by D and not defective be D';

Conditional probabilities given are :

P(D/AA) = 0.02 and P(D/AAA) = 0.03

Thus P(D'/AA) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

and P(D'/AAA) = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

(a) P(bulb from AA and defective) = P ( AA and D)

= P(AA) x P(D/AA)

= 0.3 x 0.02 = 0.006

(b) P(Defective) = P(from AA and defective) + P( from AAA and defective)

= P(AA) x P(D/AA) + P(AAA) x P(D/AAA)

= 0.3(0.02) + 0.70(0.03)

= 0.027
