2(3x - 4) = 5x + 20
6x - 8 = 5x + 20
subtract 5x from both sides
x - 8 = 20
add 8 to both sides
x = 28

Answer:

The value of "x" is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

As can see in the attach the length of both diagonals is the same. From the problem, you have the length of segment qr = 3x -4, which represents half of the diagonal. Then, length of segment np = 5x + 20, is the completa diagonal. So, you have to multiply the equation for qr by 2 and then equal it to equation of segment np.

2·(3x - 4) = 5x + 20 ⇒ 6x - 8 = 5x + 20 ⇒ 6x - 5x = 20 + 8 ⇒ x = 28.

Summarizing the value of "x" is 28.

A new health drink has 130​% of the recommended daily allowance​ (RDA) for a certain vitamin. The RDA for this vitamin is 50 mg.
Anika [276]
Answer:
58.5 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Drink: 130% of RDA of vitamin X
RDA vitamin X = 45mg
130% of 45 = mg in the drink
130% = 130/100 = 1.3
130% of 45 = 1.3*45 = 58.5

So, this new drink has 58.5 mg of vitamin

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Garrett achieves a field goal is independent of each kick.  Hence X no of kicks is binomial with p = 0.83, and q =0.17

No of trials 3

Hence X can take values as 0 ,1,2,3 and

P(X=r) = 4Cr(0.83)^r (0.17)^{4-r}

, r=0,1,2,3

Using the above we obtain prob distribution as

X         0                  1           2            3                

P(X)   0.0049   0.0720   0.3513   0.5718

P(X>=2) =P(X=2,3,4) =0.9231

-----------------------------------------

2) Z value for company A =\frac{260-272}{5.4} =-2.22

Z value for company B = (260-249)/3.8 =2.89

From z value probablility is more for company A as

P(Z>-2.22) >P(Z>2.89)
