The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.

We have then:

x: unknown number.

From here, we write the following equation:

x + \frac{17}{4} = 5

Then, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

x = 5 - \frac{17}{4}

x = \frac{20}{4} - \frac{17}{4}

x = \frac{3}{4}

Answer:

You must add:

x = \frac{3}{4}

Which group was founded to prevent African Americans from exercising their civil rights? the Whig Party the Ku Klux Klan the Pop
Cloud [144]

The group founded to prevent African Americans from exercising their civil rights was the Ku Klux Klan.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 made African Americans(Radical Republicans) citizens of the US, prohibiting them from discriminating, which must be enforced in federal courts.

The Ku Klux Klan, generally known as the KKK or Klan, is an American white supremacist party that has the main goal of targeting the African people. The three eras of Klan are namely,

  • First Klan: 1865–1871
  • Second Klan: 1915–1944
  • Later Klans: 1950s–present

Each era has favored radical reactionary positions, such as white nationalism, anti-immigration and, in particular, the subsequent revivalism: Nordism and anti-Catholicism.

sari has 3 times as many pencil eraser as sam. together they have 28 easers. how many eraser does sari have?
Sholpan [36]
21. if Sam's erasers are represented by x, then sari, who has three times more, would be represented by 3x. since you are adding two together to get 28, the equation would be 28=3x+x. Simplify to 28=4x, divide by 4 to isolate x, where x=7. multiply this by 3 to get sari's amount.

A consumer organization estimates that over a​ 1-year period 20​% of cars will need to be repaired​ once, 5​% will need repairs​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

a) 0.5476

b) 0.0676

c) 0.4524

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this information, we can conclude that 74% of the cars won't need any repairs over a 1-year period (100 - 20 - 5 - 1 = 74%). And 26% will need at least 1 repair over a 1-year period.

P(car doesn't need repair) = 0.74

P (car needs repair) = 0.26

If you own two cars, the probability that:

<u>a) Neither will need repair:</u>

We need that car 1 won't need repair AND car 2 won't need repair.

=P(Car 1 doesn't need repair) x P(Car 2 doesn't need repair)

= 0.74 x 0.74 = 0.5476

The probability that neither will need repair is 0.5476.

<u>b) Both will need repair:</u>

We need that car 1 needs repair AND car 2 needs repair.

P(Car 1 needs repair) x P(Car 2 needs repair)

= 0.26 x 0.26 = 0.0676

The probability that both will need repair is 0.0676

<u>c) At least one car will need repair</u>

Car 1 needs repair or Car 2 needs repair or both need repair.

To solve this one, it's easier to use the complement of P(neither needs repair)

1 - P(neither needs repair)

1 - (0.74)(0.74)  = 1 - 0.5476 = 0.4524

The probability that at least one car will need repair is 0.4524
