Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

(x · 3 - 15) = 18

[ Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation ]

x(3) − 15 = 18

3x + −15 = 18

3x − 15 = 18

[ Step 2: Add 15 to both sides ]

3x − 15 + 15 = 18 + 15

3x = 33

[ Step 3: Divide both sides by 3 ]

3x / 3 = 33 / 3

x = 11

Alex17521 [72]

Answer: 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , An electronics retailer receives a shipment of 6,000CDs to distribute to its stores.

i.e, Total CD's he has now = 6,000

Also, a quality control manager inspects a random sample(S) of 40CD's , the number of defective(D) CD's are 2.

Then , the proportion of defective( D) CD's = $\dfrac{D}{S}=\dfrac{2}{40}=0.05$

Now , the number of CDs in the shipment are likely to be defective = ( Total CD's) x (proportion of defective CD's)

= 6000 x 0.05

=300

Hence, the number of CDs in the shipment are likely to be defective =300

Find the fraction of stundents enrolled in each language

blondinia [14]

Fraction of students enrolled in Chinese = $\frac{51}{126}$

Fraction of students enrolled in French = $\frac{33}{126}$

Fraction of students enrolled in Spanish = $\frac{42}{126}$

Solution:

Total number of students = 51 + 33 + 42

= 126

Number of students enrolled in Chinese = 51

Fraction of students enrolled in Chinese

$$=\frac{\text{Number of students enrolled in Chinese}}{\text{Total number of students}}$

$$=\frac{51}{126}$

Fraction of students enrolled in Chinese = $\frac{51}{126}$

Number of students enrolled in French = 33

Fraction of students enrolled in French

$$=\frac{\text{Number of students enrolled in French}}{\text{Total number of students}}$

$$=\frac{33}{126}$

Fraction of students enrolled in French = $\frac{33}{126}$

Number of students enrolled in Spanish = 42

Fraction of students enrolled in Spanish

$$=\frac{\text{Number of students enrolled in Spanish}}{\text{Total number of students}}$

$$=\frac{42}{126}$

Fraction of students enrolled in Spanish = $\frac{42}{126}$
