Substituting (x, y) with (a, a), since we have:

3a=2a-4, which means that 3a-2a=-4, that is a=-4.

So, the point is (-4, -4).


Remark: a point which lies in the graph of an equation is a solution of that equation. So x=a, y=a satisfies the equation <span> 3y = 2x -4, which makes our substitution legitimate.


Answer: </span>(-4, -4).

12. Find x. (x + 20)° (5x - 8)°​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

<h2>x = 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x + 20 = 5x + -8

Reorder the terms:

20 + x = 5x + -8

Reorder the terms:

20 + x = -8 + 5x

Solving

20 + x = -8 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

20 + x + -5x = -8 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: x + -5x = -4x

20 + -4x = -8 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

20 + -4x = -8 + 0

20 + -4x = -8

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.

20 + -20 + -4x = -8 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0

0 + -4x = -8 + -20

-4x = -8 + -20

Combine like terms: -8 + -20 = -28

-4x = -28

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7

There are nine water bottles in a fridge. Three full boxes are added. Two more boxes are added, both of which have one fewer bot
Degger [83]

The number of bottles in a full box is 12.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the number of bottles in a full box is  x

So, the number of bottles in <u>three</u> full boxes =3x

Now, two more boxes are added, both of which have <u>one fewer bottle than the other three</u>. So, the number of bottles in these two boxes = 2(x-1)

As there were 9 bottles initially and now there are 67 bottles in the fridge, <em><u>so the equation will be</u></em>....

9+3x+2(x-1)=67\\ \\ 9+3x+2x-2=67\\ \\ 5x+7=67\\ \\ 5x=67-7\\ \\ 5x=60\\ \\ x=\frac{60}{5}=12

Thus, the number of bottles in a full box is 12.

Suppose that the probability that a person books an airline ticket using an online travel website is 0.72. Consider a sample of
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

0.183

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question on Binomial Probability

Formula =nCx × p^x × q^n - x

p = 0.72

q = 1 - p

= 1 - 0.72

= 0.28

x = number of successes = 9

n = 10

The probability that at least nine out of ten people used an online travel website when they booked their airline ticket

At least 9 out of 10 means

x ≥ 9 = x = 9 and x = 10

Hence,

P(x ≥ 9) = 10C9 × (0.72^9 × 0.28^10 - 9) + 10C10 × ( 0.72^10 × 0.28^10 - 10)

P(x ≥ 9) = 0.14559635388 + 0.0374390623

= 0.18303541631

≈ 0.183
