Answer:

x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: ax – c = bx + d

Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x because  x has a different unknown coefficient.

Victoria t. Victoria believes there is a solution

Solving the equation:

ax-c = bx + d

ax - bx= d+c

(a - b)x = d+c

x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}

So, this shows x can be isolated .

Victoria was right .

It was not possible to isolate x if the coefficients of x would be same .

But in the given equation the coefficients of x are not same .

So, Victoria is right.

As every Girl Scout knows, statistics teachers seriously love Girl Scout Cookies. The number of boxes of GS cookies statistics t
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

a) 0.75

b) 0.0625

c) 0.1875

d) 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by first finding the probability a teacher orders 6 boxes. Since it is a four sided dice, the probability of getting a 1 is going to be 0.25.

Similarly, for any other number on the dice, the teacher orders 2 boxes. We can think of this as NOT rolling a 1. Using our previous answer, this comes out to be: 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

It should be remembered in the following answers that teachers ordering 6 or 2 boxes are not influenced by the results of other teachers. These are statistically independent events.

a) As given above, this probability is 0.75

b) The probability that both teachers order 6 boxes will be their individual probabilities multiplied. This comes out to be: 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625

c) Like in part (b), this is both of their probabilities multiplied:

   0.25 x 0.75 = 0.1875

d) This is nearly the same as part (c), but with a little twist. The order matters. There are two scenarios:

  1.   First teacher gets 6 boxes, and the second gets 2.
  2.   First teacher gets 2 boxes, and the second gets 2.

Both of these events have a probability of 0.1875, as shown in (c). To get the total probability of this event happening, we must add these together:

0.1875 + 0.1875 = 0.375

How long is line UW?
Neko [114]

Answer: UW= 9√3

Step-by-step explanation:

This right triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle. This is a special triangle. Since this is a special triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x.

The hypotenuse is 18. We can figure out the length of x.

2x=18

x=9

Since we got 9, you would think it is the answer, but it's not. The length across the 60° angle is x√3. Now that we know the length across from 60°, we can plug in x.

9√3

We can check our answer by using Pythagorean Theorem.

9²+(9√3)²=18²

81+243=18²

324=324

Since they are equal, we know we have the right answer.

If (x + 7) is a factor of f(x), what is the value of f(-7)?
rewona [7]

Answer:

The answer is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply plug in -7 for x as they want to see what the value of the function is when x=-7.

You can then just add -7 and 7.

7 + -7 = 0

So the answer is 0

Find one solution for the equation. Assume that all angles involved are acute angles. tangent (3 Upper B minus 32 degrees )equal
raketka [301]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation given

tan(3B-32 ) = cot ( 5B +10 ) = tan [ 90 - ( 5B + 10 ) ]

tan(3B-32 ) = tan  (90 - 5B - 10 )

(3B-32 ) =  (90 - 5B - 10 )

8B = 32 + 80

B = 14° .
