Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Isolate the variable. Divide 4 from both sides

(-52)/4 = (4m)/4

m = -52/4

m = -13

-13 is your answer for m

hope this helps

Answer

$\boxed{m=-13}$

Solution

Divide 4 from both sides.

$\frac{-52}{4}=-13$

$\frac{4m}{4}=m$

Therefore, the answer is m=-13.

This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.

Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.

1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4

Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.

2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.

2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20

14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>

Use the following information for problems 1 – 3. Suppose you sign a contract for an annual salary of $50,000 with a guaranteed

erik [133]

Initial salary = $50,000 .

Rate of raise = 5% each year.

Therefore, each next year salary would be 105% that is 1.05 times.

5% of 50,000 = 0.05 × 50000 = 2500.

Therefore raise is $2500 each year.

According to geometric sequence first term 50000 and common ratio 1.05.

Applying geometric sequence formula

$a_n = ar^{n-1}$

1) $a_n = 50000(1.05)^{n-1}$

2) In order to find salary in 5 years we need to plug n=5, we get

$a_5 = 50000(1.05)^{5-1}= 50000(1.05)^4$

= 50000(1.21550625)

3) In order to find the total salary in 10 years we need to apply sum of 10 terms formula of a geometric sequence.

$S_n = \frac{a(1-r^n}{1-r}$

Plugging n=10, a = 50000 and r= 1.05.

$S_10 = \frac{50000(1-(1.05)^{10}}{1-1.05}$

$S_10 = \frac{50000(0.050)^{10}}{0.05}$

= 628894.62678.

<h3>Therefore , you will have earned $ 628894.62678 in total salary by the end of your 10th year.</h3>

10 normal six sided dice are thrown.Find the probability of obtaining at least 8 failuresif a success is 5 or 6.

erastova [34]

Answer:

0.2992 = 29.92% probability of obtaining at least 8 failures.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each dice, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a failure is obtained, or a success is obtained. Trials are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
