Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether

-1/3(n+15)=-2. what is n? please show work on paper and send it to me asap.​
Anton [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive formula to solve for n:

-a(b + c) = -ab - ac

So, to solve this you would have to use the distributive property:

-1/3n - 5 = -2

Add 5 to both sides

-1/3n - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5

-1/3n = 3

Now, multiply -3 from both sides

-1/3 * -3 n = 3 * -3

Simplify

n = -9

Hope that helped!!

The number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of a particular mountain has a poisson distribution with a mean of 3.8. fin
atroni [7]

Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.

X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8

We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0

The Poisson probability is given by,

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}

Here we have X=0, mean =3.8

Hence probability that X=0 is given by

P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-3.8} 3.8^{0}}{0!}

P(X=0) = \frac{0.02237 * 1}{1}

P(X=0) = 0.0224

The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224

Gavin plans to mix a batch of tangerine paint. He expects to have a total of 5 3/10 ounces of paint after he mixes the amounts o
SVEN [57.7K]
Tangerine is simply color orange, which is an addition of red and yellow colors. To analyze if the portions written below are reasonable, the given sum must equal to the sum of the individual red and yellow parts.

Total Red + Total Yellow = 5(3/10)
3(9/10) + 2(3/8) ? 5(3/10
3.45 ? 1.5
3.45 ≠ 1.5

<em>Since they are not equal, then it means the portions are unreasonable.</em>

Has a slope of 2 and goes through (5,1)
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

y = 2x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx + b

plug in slope

y = 2x + b

plug in points

1 = 2 (5) + b

simplify

1 = 10 + b

subtract 10 each side

-9 = b

plug in to original equation

y=2x - 9
