Answer:

-2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

first you are going to distrubute 2/5, so 2/5 times x is 2/5x and 2/5 times -2 is -4/5

next you set up the problem with those two answers which gives you:

2/5x - 4/5 = 4x

then multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 2x-4=20x

next move the constant to the right side and chnage the sign: 2x=20x+4

then combine like terms: -18x=4

after that divide both sides of the equation by -18: -2/9

so x= -2/9

Answer:

x = -2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 (x - 2) = 4x

2/5x - 4/5 = 4x

2/5x - 4x = 4/5

2/5x - 20/5x = 4/5

- 18/5x = 4/5

- x = 4/5 / 18/5

- x = 4/5 * 5/18

- x = 4/18

x = - 4/18

x = - 2/9

A survey of couples in a city found the following probabilities:
liraira [26]

Answer

(a) 0.94

(b)0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

P(husband is employed) = P(H) = 0.85

P(wife is employed) = P(W) = 0.59

P(both are employed) = P(H∩W) = 0.50

(a) At least one of them is employed

= P(H∪W)

= P(H) + P(W) - P(H∩W)

=0.85 + 0.59 - 0.50

=0.94

(b) Neither is employed,

=1 - P(H∪W)

= 1-0.94

=0.06

Consider the function f(x)=3/4x+12 what is the y-intercept of f-1(x)
miskamm [114]

Answer:

y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3/4x+12 (replace f(x) with y)

y =3/4x+12  (rearrange to express x in terms of y)

y - 12=3/4 x

3/4 x = y - 12

3x = 4(y - 12)

x = (4/3)(y - 12)

x = (4/3)y - (4/3)(12)

x = (4/3)y - 16

f^{-1} (y) = (4/3)y - 16

f^{-1} (x) = (4/3)x - 16

comparing to general form

y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept

b = -16

Hence the y-intercept is y = -16
