3x - 5 1/2 is the expression
Answer:
2.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply each payout by its probability, then add those products.
See the attached image.
The first column has the payouts. The second column has the probabilities. The third column has the results of multiplying a payout by its probability.
The sum of the entries in the third column is 2.65
1.x^2 +6x - 4 = 6x
X^2 + 6x -4 - 6x = 0
X^2 - 4 = 0
By difference of two squares :
X^2 - 4 = 0 can be written as (x-2) (x+2) = 0
(X-2)=0 therefore x= 2
(X+2)=0 therefore x= -2
2. X^2 - 8x = -6x
X^2 -8x + 6x = 0
X^2 - 2x = 0
X(X-2) = 0
X= 0, X= 2
Answer:
On average, the land moved 0,14 cm each year.
Step-by-step explanation:
To know how much did, on average, the land move, we should divide the total number of cm over the total number of years:
x=24.8 cm/175 years
x=0,1417 cm each year
If we divide years over cm we will get x in years each cm, which is wrong.
Because the problem asks for the answer rounded to the hundredths place:
x= 0,14 cm each year
