Answer:

1 in 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = success / (success + failure)

Odds = success / failure

The probability is 8%, which means in a group of 100 people, 8 will catch the flu and 92 will not.  So the odds are 8/92, which reduces to 1/11.5, or approximately 1/12.

What value of x satisfies the equation 5(x – 3) – 2(x + 1) = 4?
hjlf

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve:

Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.

Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get

-2x - 2.

<u>All together: 5x - </u><u>15</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>= 4</u>

Now combine like terms:

5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17

<u>All</u><u> </u><u>together</u><u>: 3x -</u><u> </u><u>17 = 4</u>

Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.

________________________________

Last, don't forget to check your work.

You can plug in 7 for x to get:

5(7 - 3) = 20

5 × 7 = 35

5 × -3 = -15

35 - 15 = 20

-2(7 + 1) = -16

-2 × 7 = -14

-2 × 1 = - 2

-14 -2 = -16

<u>20 - 16 = 4</u>

⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.

Sorry this is a bit lengthy, but hope this helps :)

No comprendo. I'm doing a test review and I'm screwed​
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite side / hypotenuse

sin 53 = 4/x

Multiply each side by x

x sin 53 = 4/x *x

x sin 53 = 4

Divide each side by sin 53

x sin 53 / sin 53 = 4 / sin 53

x = 4 /sin 53

x = 5.008542633

To the nearest whole number

x = 5

Can someone solve this?
ladessa [460]
  • First question:

Recall that \cos^2x+\sin^2x=1 and \sqrt{x^2}=|x| for all x. So

\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}=\sqrt{\sin^2x}=|\sin x|

\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}=\sqrt{\cos^2x}=|\cos x|

For 0, we expect both \cos x>0 and \sin x>0 (i.e. the sine and cosine of any angle that lies in the first quadrant must be positive). By definition of absolute value, |x|=x if x>0.

So we have

\dfrac{\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}}{\sin x}+\dfrac{\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}}{\cos x}=\dfrac{\sin x}{\sin x}+\dfrac{\cos x}{\cos x}=1+1=\boxed{2}

making H the answer.

  • Second question:

C is always true, because the inequality reduces to x > y.
