10(5 - n) - 1 = 29 n = ? Help!

To get rid of the parantheses we must multiply 10 by anything inside the parantheses.

<em>10(5-n)-1=29</em>

<em>50-10n-1=29</em>

Combine like terms

<em>50-10n-1=29</em>

<em>49-10n=29</em>

Subtract 49 from both sides

<em>49-10n=29</em>

<em>-10n=-20</em>

Divide both sides by -10

<em>-10n/-10=-20/-10</em>

<em>n=2</em>

<em>Our final answer is 2</em>

Hope this helps!

n = 2

distribute and simplify left side of equation

50 - 10n - 1 = 29

49 - 10n = 29 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

- 10n = 29 - 49 = - 20

n = \frac{-20}{-10} = 2

In a certain town, 25% of people commute to work by bicycle. If a person is selected randomly from the town, what are the odds a
iren2701 [21]
<h3>Answer: Choice B)   3:1</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Consider a very small town of only 4 people.

If 1 person bikes to work, then 1/4 = 0.25 = 25% of the population commutes by bicycle. We see that the remaining 4-1 = 3 people don't travel by bike.

The odds against selecting someone who uses their bike to get to work is 3:1 which is why the answer is choice B

We list the number of people we don't want first, and then the number of people we do want (those who use a bike). A colon separates the two values to form the odds ratio.

We can say "3:1" as "3 to 1". It means we're 3 times more likely to select someone we don't want vs someone we do want. The odds are against the bike person which is why the value we don't want is listed first.

In contrast, if your teacher asked "what are the odds in favor of selecting someone who commutes by bicycle?" then the answer would be 1:3. We simply swap the positions of what we set up earlier.

A 120 watt light bulb uses about 0.1 kilowatt of electricity per hour.if electricity costs $0.20 per kilowatt hour. Let's solve how much does it cost to have a bulb on for an hour. => 120 watt = 0.1 kilowatt per hour which costs 0.20 per kilowatt per => 0.1 kilowatt per hour * 0.20 = 0.02 dollars in an hour.
