Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = x + 8

Subtract x from each side

3x-x - 2 = x-x + 8

2x -2 = 8

Add 2 to each side

2x-2+2 = 8+2

2x = 10

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =10/2

x = 5

Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = x + 8- from this, move -2 across the '=', which makes it now a positive 2. It will now look like 3x = x + 10. Now you should move the x across, which will make it negative, so it will now look like 2x = 10. Now all you have to do is divide 10 by 2, and you will get x, which equals 5

Lucy has 4 inches of ribbon that she wants to cut into 6 equal sized pieces. What is true about the length of each piece of ribb
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total length of ribbon lucy has=4 inches

She wants to divide it into 6 equal sized pieces so  

Length of each piece=4/6

This can also be written as:

Length of each piece=4*(1/6 )

Now we will look at the options one by one:

For A, Each piece has 6/4 inches of ribbon.. This statement is not true as we have to divide 4 inches into 6 pieces so 4 is supposed to be in the numerator.

For B, breaking down 4/6 gives us 4*(1/6), so the statement is not true.

For C , as we can see that the expression is 4*(1/6), each piece will have 1/6 of inches of ribbon.

So option C is the correct answer..

Numa turma, 5% dos homens e 2% das mulheres tem mais de 1,60m de altura. Por outro lado, 60% dos estudantes são homens. Se um es
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they are two independent events, the final probability is the product of the probability of each event.

First event:

The complement of a student being male is that he is female.

Therefore, if 60% is male, the remaining 100% is 40%, meaning that 40% of the students are female.

Second event:

If she's taller than 5'4", we're told she has a 2% chance of being a woman.

Therefore the final probability is:

0.4*0.02 = 0.008

That is, the probability that it is female and that it is over 1.6 meters tall is 0.8%.
