5x+2=3x-20-1x\\5x+2=2x-20\ \  \ \ |subtract\ 2\ from\ both\ sides\\5x=2x-22\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 2x\ from\ both\ sides\\3x=-22\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{x=-\frac{22}{3}}\Rightarrow\boxed{x=-7\frac{1}{3}}

5x+2=3x-20-1x
add like terms
5x+2=(3-1)x-20
5x+2=2x-20
subtract 2x from both sdies
5x-2x+2=2x-2x-20
3x+2=0-20
subtract 2 from both sides
3x+2-2=-20-2
3x=-22
divide both sides by 3
x=-22/3 or -7 and 1/3

I need help on Part B and C on question 2
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

Part A. Archimedes grades 6 1/4 tests per day

Part B. 8 19/32 days

Part C.  6  26/29 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Total time = 6 2/5 days

Number of tests = 40 tests

Process

1.- Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

                 6 2/5 = (30 + 2) / 5 = 32/5

2.- Divide 40 by 32/5

                40/1  / 32/5   = (40 x 5) / (32 x 1)

                                      = 200 / 32

Simplify

                                        100 / 16 = 50/8 = 25/4

3.- Convert 25/4 to mixed fractions

                                       6      

                                4   25            

                                        1

                   25/4 = 6 1/4

Archimedes grade 6 1/4 tests per day

Part B

15 more tests

Total time = 32/5

Total tests = 40 + 15 = 55

Process

1.- Divide 55 by 32/5

                                  55 / 1  /  32 /5    = (55 x 5) / (32 x 1)

                                                             = 275 / 32

                                                             

2.- Convert 275/32 to a mixed fraction

                                                 8                                  

                                      32   275

                                             256

                                                19

Result    8 19/32 days

Part C

1.- Divide 55 by 7.25

                                         50 / 7.25     =    5000 / 725

                                                  6

                                725    5000

                                        - 4350

                                            650    

Result 6 650/750 = 6  26/29

(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do
melomori [17]

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%
