Answer:

distribute

Step-by-step explanation:

so multiply -1 with 5 and -3

this turns it to 2x(-5+3x)=4x+2

then you multiply 2x to -5 and 3x

so on...

Rasheed bought two kinds of candy bars, chocolate and toffee, that came in packages of 2 bars each. He handed out 2/3 of the cho
Contact [7]

Answer:

9 packages of chocolate bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he bought c packages of chocolate bars and t packages of toffee bars,

Since, he bought 1 fewer package of chocolate bars than toffee bars.

⇒ c = t - 1  -----(1)

Also, he handed out out \frac{2}{3} of the chocolate bars and \frac{3}{5} of the toffee bars,

If he handed out the same number of each kind of candy bar.

\implies \frac{2}{3}\times c=\frac{3}{5}\times t

10c = 9t     ( By cross multiplication )

\implies t=\frac{10}{9}c    ( Division property of equality )

From equation (1),

c=\frac{10}{9}c-1

1=\frac{10}{9}c-c

1=\frac{10c-9c}{9}

1=\frac{c}{9}

\implies c = 9

Hence, he bought 9 packages of chocolate bars.

The average hourly charge of plumbers in the Denver area is $84.00 with a standard deviation of $4.00. Assume that the hourly ch
Simora [160]

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the probability that a random plumber called at Denver will charge an amount greater than $86 given the mean and the standard deviation.

Firstly, we calculate the standard score of $86 using the mean and the standard deviation.

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

where x = 86, mean = 84 and SD = 4

z-score = (86-84)/4 = 2/4 = 0.5

Hence, we want to calculate P(z ≥ 0.5)

Using standard table

P( (z ≥ 0.5) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.5) = 1 - ( 0.19146 + 0.5) = 0.30854

To the nearest hundredth = 0.31

Use the angle relationship in the figure below to solve for x. Assume that lines a and b are parallel and the given angles are g
Daniel [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked angles are "alternate exterior angles," hence congruent.

  2x +90° = x +95°

  x = 5° . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (x+90°) from both sides

Can someone help me with this problem://
fiasKO [112]

You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).

Multiply by 12

... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6

... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms

... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11

... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Here it is the other way.

... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2

... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms

... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7

... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7

At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.
