Answer: 60000 households have both cable television and videocassette recorders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of households that have both cable television and videocassette recorders.

In the city, 80 percent of the households have cable television.

If there are 150,000 households in the city, then the number of households that have cable television would be

80/100 × 150000 = 120000

Also, 60 percent of the households have videocassette recorders. It means that the number of households that have videocassette recorders would be

60/100 × 150000 = 90000

The number that have only only cable television is 120000 - x

The number that have only only videocassette recorders is

90000 - x

Therefore,

120000 - x + 90000 - x + x = 150000

210000 - x = 150000

x = 210000 - 150000

x = 60000

Answer:

60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total people in the household be 100%

If 80 percent of the households have cable television, 60 percent of the households have videocassette recorders and the number of households that have both cable television and videocassette recorders is 'x' percent. The number of households having ONLY cable television will be 80-x while households having ONLY videocassette will be 60-x.

To get x, we will have;

80-x + 60-x + x = 100

140-x = 100

x = 140-100

x = 40

This shows that 40% of the households have both cable television and videocassette.

If there are 150,000 households in the city, then the number of households that have both cable television and videocassette recorders could be 40% of 150,000

= 40/100 × 150,000

= 60,000

Number of households that owns both television and videocassette could be from 60,000.

Going down a water slide is a real-life example of a translation.<br><br> True<br><br> False
LiRa [457]
True i think because going down a water-slide is really a translation, because you are changing from one place to another. SO i believe it would be true. Sorry if this isn't correct.

Shape A can be transformed to shape B by a reflection in the x-axis followed by a translation (c/d). Find the value of c and the
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

c = -6

d = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for grid

Required

Find c and d

From the attachment, we have:

a = (3,5) --- Point on A

a' = (-3,-6) --- Corresponding point on B

When A is reflected across the x-axis, the rule is:

(x,y) \to (x,-y)

So, we have:

(3,5) \to (3,-5)

Next, is to calculate the translation from (3,-5) to (-3,-6)

This is calculated using:

3 + c = -3

and

-5 + d = -6

So, we have:

3 + c = -3

c = -3-3

---- i.e. Shift by 6 units to the left

-5 + d = -6

d = 5 - 6

d = -1  --- i.e. Shift by 1 unit down

Venita is factoring the expression 32ab-8b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8b(4a-0). Which best de
Nimfa-mama [501]
Let's go through the steps of factoring that Venita should take.

1.) Find the greatest common factor (GCF). We only have two terms, so that makes it pretty easy.
32 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
8 = 1, 2, 4, 8
The greatest common factor of 32 and 8 is 8. We can also factor out a <em>b</em> since that term appears in each part of the original expression. The GCF and variable should go on the outside of the parentheses.
8b(       )

2.) Now let's figure out what should go in the middle of the parentheses. To do this, use the original expression and divide each term. This is written in the parentheses. 

32ab ÷ 8b = 4a
8b ÷ 8b = 1

This would then result in the factored expression 8b(4a - 1). You can always check this by using the distributive property. Distribute 8b out to both expressions:
8b x 4a = 32ab
8b x 1 = 8b
32ab - 8b is the expression she started with, so your factored expression works!

Now that we went through the steps to solve the factored expression, let's check her answer. The only difference between Venita's and ours is that she has 0 as the second term while we have a 1. It seems that she had subtracted the GCF from the second term instead of dividing.

Find the solutions to y = (x – 1)2 for x = –3, 0, and 3.
Harman [31]

Answer:

if the 2 is the power of (x-1) here is ur answer

y = (x - 1 ){}^{2} \\if \: x \: is \: \: equal \: to \:  - 3  \\ y =(  - 3 - 1) {}^{2} \\  y = ( - 4) {}^{2} \\ y = 16

if \: x = 0 \\ y = (0 - 1) {}^{2}  \\y = (  - 1) { }^{2} \\ y = 1

if \: x = 3 \\ y = (3 - 1) {}^{2}  \\  y = 2 { }^{2}  \\ y = 4
