7*y - 5*(4-2y) = 7y - 20 +10y = 17y-20 = 31,
y =3, x = -2.
Weird 20 min without answer!
2x-7=29
"Seven less than" => minus 7.
"Two times <u>a number</u>" => 2x (x is the unknown number)
"is twenty-nine" => =29
Putting it all together,
-7 + 2x = 29
or
2x-7=29
(if you were wondering x is equal to 18)
Answer:
0.114,0.5263
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a firm buys components from two suppliers:
A : 60% Defective 9%
B:40% Defective 15%
a) the probability that the next component the firm buys is defective
=prob purchased from A and defective + prob purchased from B and defective
= 
b) the probability that the component that the firm buys is from supplier B if we know that it is defective
=Prob from B and defective/Prob defective
= 
4x-7=37
4x=37+7
4x=44
4x/4=44/4
X=11
The Absolute value of 7 is seven since it is only seven did-gets away from zero.
