Answer:

<h2>B.  ST = 2</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

|<--------------  10 --------------------->|

S-------------------T--------------------U

            X-6              2X - 8

FIND: ST

SOLUTION:

ST + TU = SU

x - 6 + 2x - 8 = 10

combine like terms:

3x - x = 10 + 8 + 6

x = 24/3

x = 8

plugin the value of x= 8 into the ST = x - 6

ST = x - 6

ST = 8 - 6

ST = 2

proof:

x - 6 + 2x - 8 = 10

8 - 6 + 2(8) - 8 = 10

10 = 10 ---OK

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
noname [10]

Answer:

The inverse f-1(x) = ( x + 10)/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 10

Find x in terms of f(x):

2x = f(x) + 10

x = (f(x) + 10))/ 2

Replace x by the inverse f-1(x) and f(x) by x:

f-1(x) = (x + 10)/2.

A church building fund has invested some money in two ways: part of the money at 7% interest and four times as much at 11%. Find
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: he invested $15000 in part 1 and $60000 in part 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money invested in part one.

Let 4x represent the amount of money invested in part 2 .

Total amount of money invested in part 1 and part 2 is

x + 4x = 5x

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P is the principal or initial amount.

T is the duration in years

R is the number rate.

For part 1

R = 7%

T = 1 year

P = x

I = (x × 7 × 1)/100 = 0.07x

For part 2,

R = 11%

T = 1 year

P = 4x

I = (4x × 11 × 1)/100 = 0.44x

if the total annual income from interest is 7650. This means that

0.44x + 0.07x = 7650 - - - - - - - -2

0.51x = 7650

x = 7650/0.51

x = 15000

Amount invested in part 1 is $15000

Amount invested in part 2 is 4×15000 = $60000

matrenka [14]

Answer:

A) 0.54

B) 4.32

C) 2.4

D)  336

Step-by-step explanation:

A)Expected value (you) = (84 × 3) × \frac{1}{140} × (0.3)× \frac{139}{140}

                                       = 0.54

B) Expected value (you) 8 tickets = 0.54 × 8

                                                       = 4.32

C) Expected value ( for PTO) = ( 3 - 84) × \frac{1}{140} + ( 3 - 0 ) × \frac{139}{140}

                                                = 2.4

D) For 140 raffle tickets = 2.4 × 140

                                       = 336
