Help!! 2x+3 (x-4)=x-20

1 answer:

8 0

Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

2x+3(x-4)=x-20
first distribute
2x+3(x)+3(-4)=x-20
2x+3x-12=x-20
5x-12=x-20
minus x both sides
4x-12=-20
add 12 to both sides
4x=-8
divide both sides by 4
x=-2

How many 4 1 2 inch strips can be made from 45 inches of shipping tape?

bezimeni [28]

Just divide the 45 by the 4½

thus $\bf 45\div 4\frac{1}{2}\iff \cfrac{45}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{45}{1}}{\frac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{45}{1}}{\frac{9}{2}}\implies \cfrac{45}{1}\times \cfrac{2}{9}\implies \cfrac{45\times 2}{1\times 9}$

Ali surveyed 200 students at a school and recorded the eye color and the gender of each student. of the 80 male students who wer

Aloiza [94]

Total number of students surveyed = 200
Number of male students = 80
Number of female students = 200 - 80 = 120

Number of brown eyed male students = 60
Probability of a brown eyed male student = 60 / 80 = 0.75.

Since, eye color and gender are independent, this means that eye color is not affected by the gender. Thus, we expect a similar probability of brown eye for female as we had for male.

Let the number expected of brown eyed females be x, then x / 120 = 0.75.

Thus, x = 120(0.75) = 90.

Therefore, the number female students surveyed expected to be brown eyed is 90.
