The equation is:

114=\frac{p}{3}-3

And

Total number of pages are 351

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has to be formed by using the given information.

Let p be the total number of pages in the novel

Then

1/3rd of the p will pe:

\frac{p}{3}

Total pages read by John = 114

Then according to the statement

114=\frac{p}{3}-3

We can solve the equation to get the total pages of the novel

114=\frac{p}{3}-3\\Adding\ 3\ on\ both\ sides\\114+3=\frac{p}{3}-3+3\\117=\frac{p}{3}\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\3*117 = \frac{p}{3}*3\\p=351

The equation is:

114=\frac{p}{3}-3

And

Total number of pages are 351

A game is played using ne die. If the die is rolled and shows 3, the player wins $45. If the die shows any number other than 3,
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

-$13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable of a count of player gain.

- We are told that if the die shows 3, the player wins $45.

- there is a charge of $9 to play the game

If he wins, he gains; 45 - 9 = $36

If he looses, he has a net gain which is a loss = -$9

Thus, the x-values are; (36, -9)

Probability of getting a 3 which is a win is P(X) = 1/6 since there are 6 numbers on the dice and probability of getting any other number is P(X) = 5/6

Thus;

E(X) = Σ(x•P(X)) = (1/6)(36) + (5/6)(-9)

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - (5 × 9))

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - 45)

E(X) = -9/6 = -3/2

E(X) = -3/2

This represents -3/2 of $9 = -(3/2) × 9 = - 27/2 = -$13.5

48a2 + 32a2 + 16a by 4a?
lbvjy [14]

(48a^3 + 32a^2 + 16a) / 4a = ?

48a^3 / 4a = 12a^2

32a^2 / 4a = 8a

16a / 4a = 4

so

(48a^3 + 32a^2 + 16a) / 4a = 12a^2 + 8a + 4

Answer is D. 12a^2 + 8a + 4
