Answer:

  B.  2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add 1/(x+5), then multiply by (x+5), then subtract (x+3).

\dfrac{2(x+1)+1}{x+5}=1 \qquad\text{add 1/(x+5)}\\\\2x+3=x+5 \qquad\text{multiply by x+5}\\\\x=2 \qquad\text{subtract x+3}}

_____

Sometimes you have to try several methods to find the easiest. One "always works" method is to subtract one side of the equation so you have something that equals zero. Here that would look like ...

\dfrac{2(x+1)}{x+5}-1+\dfrac{1}{x+5}=0 \qquad\text{subtract the right side}\\\\\dfrac{2(x+1)-(x+5)+1}{x+5}=0 \qquad\text{use a common denominator}\\\\\dfrac{x-2}{x+5}=0 \qquad\text{simplify}\\\\x=2 \qquad\text{the value of x that makes the numerator 0}

Answer:

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2(x + 1)}{x + 5}  = 1 -  \frac{1}{x + 5}

Multiply two sides by (x+5), we have

(x + 5)   \frac{2(x + 1)}{x + 5} = (x + 5) - (x + 5)  \frac{1}{x + 5}

so

2(x + 1) = x + 5 - 1  \\  =  >  \: 2x + 2 = x + 4 \\  =  > x = 2

Hello If You Have Please Help Thank You<br> Solve for x.<br><br> −7x−15&lt;6
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

x > -22/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality:

- 7x - 15 < 6

<em>adding 15 to both sides:</em>

==> -7x - 15 + 15 < 6 + 16

==> -7x < 22

<em>dividing</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>:</em>

==> -x < 22/ 7

<em>multiplying</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em>

<em>(</em><em>anytime</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>multiply</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>inequality</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>must</em><em> </em><em>flip</em><em> </em><em>th</em><em>e inequality sign–</em><em> </em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>p</em><em>l</em><em>a</em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>"</em><em><</em><em>"</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>"</em><em>></em><em>"</em><em>)</em>

==> <u>x > -22/7</u>

The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2885 and standard deviation
aliina [53]

Answer:

a.  X~N(2,885, 651)

b.  0.086291

c.  0.00058

d.  3213.10 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -A normal distribution is expressed in the form X~N(mean, standard deviation).

-Let X a random variable denoting  the number of calories consumed.

-X is a is a normally distributed random variable with mean 2885 and standard deviation 651.

-This distribution is expressed as X~N(2,885, 651)

b. The probability that less than 2000 calories are consumed is calculated using the formula:

P(X

#substitute the given values in the formula to solve for P:

P(X

Hence, the probability of consuming less than 2000 calories is 0.08691

c. The proportion of customers consuming more than 5000 calories is calculated as:

P(X>x)=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(Z>\frac{5000-2885}{651})\\\\=P(z>3.2488)\\\\=1-0.99942\\\\=0.00058

Hence, the proportion of customers consuming over  5000 calories is 0.00058

d. The least amount of calories to get the award is calculated as:

1% is equivalent to a z value of 0.50399.

-We equate this to the formula to solve for the mean consumption:

0.01=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(z>\frac{\bar X-2885}{651})\\\\\1\%=0.50399 \\\\\frac{\bar X-2885}{651}=0.50399 \\\\\bar X=0.50399\times 651+2885\\\\=3213.09

Hence, the least amount of calories consumed to qualify for the award is 3213.10 calories.

If a rectangle has a length of 5in, a width of 4in, and a height of 8in.Evaluate the volume using the formula: V=LWH 20 inches c
ozzi

Substitute the numbers in the equation:

V=LWH

Since L=5in, W=4in and H=8in:

\begin{gathered} V=(5in)(4in)(8in) \\ =160in^3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the volume is equal to 160 inches cubed.

A person places $103 in an investment account earning an annual rate of 1.9%, compounded continuously. Using the formula V = P e
Advocard [28]

Answer:

$115.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P=$103

r=1.9%

t= 6 years

The expression for the amount is given as

V = P e ^{r t}

substitute

V = 103*e^{0.019 *6}

V = 103*e^{0.114}\\\\V = 103*1.120\\\\V = 115.36\\\\

Hence the final amount is $115.36
