Answer:

Explanation - instead of adding 28 to each side to get rid of the -28, the student subtracted 28 from each side

Correct Answer - x = 403

Step-by-step explanation:

The student subtracted 28 from each side instead of adding 28 to each side. When you add 28 to each side, you are adding 28 to -28, which makes it 0 and disappear. When you subtract 28 from each side, you are adding -28 to -28, which makes it -54, and not 0.

The correct answer can be found by adding 28 to each side, which gives us an answer of x = 403.

Hope this helps!! :)

A club is choosing 2 members to serve on a committee. The club has nominated 2 women and 4 men. Based on chance alone, what is t

Answer:

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the members are chosen is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

What is the probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee?

Desired outcomes:

One woman, from a set of 2, and one man, from a set of 4. So

$D = C_{2,1}*C_{4,1} = \frac{2!}{1!1!}*\frac{4!}{1!3!} = 8$

Total outcomes:

Two members from a set of 2 + 4 = 6. So

$T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!4!} = 15$

Probability:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333$

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

Is their a whole number by which you can multiply 14 to get 49

Naya [18.7K]

No. 49 is not a multiple of 14. The only number that can do the job is 3.5 .

Which transformations can be used to show that circle P is similar to circle Q?

12345 [234]

Circle Q is a translation of circle P, 6 units up and <span>Circle Q is a dilation of circle P with a scale factor of 7 are both correct answers.

Similar figures can result when a figure is translated (moved or slid) to a different position or when it remains the same shape but in a different size (dilation).</span>
