In order to solve this problem, we must solve an equation.
First, we need to define our unknown.
Let's call our number "n".
So, the sum of the number and 6 is the same as saying n+6
Then we need to multiply it by 2 (since it's twice the sum)
2(n+6)
This whole thing is equal to three times of the difference of the number and 8
n-8 is equal to the difference between the number and 8, then we need to multiply it by three.
3(n-8)
now, we set both sides equal and solve
The number is 36
Answer:
Odds for male= 1.538
Odds for female = 0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking for odds, not a probability. A probability shows how much the chance for the event to happen, so it can be expressed as a percentage. Odds show how the event more likely to happen compared to the chance it did not happen. If an event has a 90% probability, the odds will be 90:10= 9
In this case, the odds of selecting a male will be:
number of male : number of female= 20:13 = 1.538
The odds of selecting a female will be
number of female : number of male = 13/20 = 0.65
Answer:
-0.875
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/4 = 5.25
5.25/ -6 = -0.875
The answer to this math problem is y=-16
Answer:
k=−5
Step-by-step explanation:
−3(k+7)−5k+4=23
(−3)(k)+(−3)(7)+−5k+4=23(Distribute)
−3k+−21+−5k+4=23
(−3k+−5k)+(−21+4)=23(Combine Like Terms)
−8k+−17=23
−8k−17=23
Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.
−8k−17+17=23+17
−8k=40
Step 3: Divide both sides by -8.
−8k
−8
=
40
−8
k=−5
Answer:
k=−5
