Hello!

We can solve this algebraically

2x + 5 = 3 + 2(x+1)

Distribute the 2

2x + 5 = 3 + 2x + 2

combine like terms

2x + 5 = 2x + 5

Since both sides of the equation is the same all values of x make the equation true

The answer is A

Hope this helps!

Jenise throws a ball 75 times and hits the target 41 times. What is the experimental probability that she will hit the target? S

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the required outcome to the total possible outcome

Total outcome = 75

Number of times target was hit (expected outcome) = 41

Pr(she will hit target)= 41/75

Next is to state in percent and u do that by multiplying the resulting fraction by 100

41/75 i n percent.

41/75×100

= 4100/75

= 54.67%

Hence the answer in percentage is 54.67%

Find all of the points of the form (x −1) which are 4 unit from the point (3,2)

Bond [772]

Answer:

$(3+2\sqrt{2},2+2\sqrt{2}),(3-2\sqrt{2},2-2\sqrt{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Points\ are\ of\ the\ form\ (x,x-1)\\\\Distance\ of\ these\ points\ from\ (3,2)=4\\\\\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(x-3)^2}=4\\\\\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(x-1-2)^2}=4\\\\\sqrt{2(x-3)^2}=4\\\\2(x-3)^2=16\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ square\ both\ the\ sides\\\\(x-3)^2=\frac{16}{2}\\\\(x-3)^2=8\\\\(x-3)=\pm 2\sqrt{2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ square\ root\ both\ the\ sides\\\\x=3\pm 2\sqrt{2}\\\\When\ x=3+2\sqrt{2}\ \ \Rightarrow x-1=3+2\sqrt{2}-1=2+2\sqrt{2}\\\\When\ x=3-2\sqrt{2}\ \ \Rightarrow x-1=3-2\sqrt{2}-1=2-2\sqrt{2}$
