What variable expression represents the phrase "25 decreased by the sum of 6 and a number"?

What is the value of x? Please explain the step process to getting to the conclusion.

First, split the triangle into half.

So the angle 38 becomes 38/2=19.

So we know two angles in the triangle:

One is 19 degrees.

The other one is 90 degrees (marked red).

The angles in a right-angled triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So to find the x angle, we calculate it by:

180 - (90+19) = 71

(the sum of three angles) - (the sum of the two known angles) = unknown angle

So x = 71 degrees.

Which inequality describes this graph?

Alborosie

Answer:

x≠5

Step-by-step explanation:

An open circle means "less than" or "greater than", this means that anything is greater than or less than where the circle is placed. So, when an open circle is placed on a number line without any arrow, this means that that number is not equal to x.

16. A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours

Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b) 1.38% probability of making no sales.

c) 16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d) The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each phone call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a sale is made, or it is not. The probability of a sale being made in a call is independent from other calls. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours, find:

Six calls per hour, 2 hours. So

$n = 2*6 = 12$

Sale on 30% of these calls, so $p = 0.3$

a. The probability of making exactly four sales.

This is P(X = 4).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.2311$

23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b. The probability of making no sales.

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.0138$

1.38% probability of making no sales.

c. The probability of making exactly two sales.

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.1678$

16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d. The mean number of sales in the two-hour period.

The mean of the binomia distribution is

$E(X) = np$

So

$E(X) = 12*0.3 = 3.6$

The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

PLSS ANSWER MY QUESTION

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) Area of frame: $140cm^2$ ; Area of picture: $40cm^2$ ; Total Area: $180cm^2$ .

2) Area 1 = $48cm^2$ ; Area 2 = $12cm^2$ ; total area = $60cm^2$ [first answer line : $60cm^2$ ]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. So to answer this question, you have to find the inner photo area first (which you will then subtract from the overall rectangle area to get the photo frame area).

To find area, you multiply length x width. For this question, there are not enough measurements given to initially multiply length and width. So, assuming that the photo is centered on the frame and the frame width is consistent along all sides, you find the difference between the overall length (12) and the picture length (5).

12 - 5 = 7

The leftover area (outside of the picture) is 7 cm (half of seven on both sides), so one side can be assumed to be : 3.5 cm

this means that 15 cm - 3.5 cm of both sides lengths (difference between the two lengths given) is the height of the photo, 15 - 3.5(2) = 8

So, the dimensions/measurements of the photo are 5 cm by 8 cm.

This means that the inner photo area is 40 (5 x 8) cm

The area of the frame will be the area of the total rectangle [12 x 15] - the inner photo area [40]. [ (12)(15) - 40 ]

[180 - 40] = 140 cm

(area is measured in squared units, so the area of the frame should be written as $140cm^{2}$ ; and the area of the photo should be written as $40cm^{2}$ )

The total area is the entire area of the rectangle: (12)(15) = 180. (This should be written as $180cm^2$ )

--------------------------------------

2) Finding the area of a shape that isn't a simple rectangle is easier if you separate the shape into smaller rectangles. I will separate the two rectangles into 4 x 12 and 2 x 6 [6 cm would be the remaining side length if you remove the length of 4].

{you can separate the shape in multiple ways, so my answer is only one answer to this problem out of other splits.}

as mentioned, the area is length x width.

4 x 12 = 48.

2 x 6 = 12. Once again, you should write area in squared units.

(the area 1 should be written as $48cm^{2}$ ; the area 2 should be written as $12cm^2$ )

you can combine the separated areas (add them) to find the total area. 48 + 12 = 60.

(the total area should be written in squared units also, so the total area should be written as: $60cm^2$ )

The area of the figure is $60cm^2$

(x+16)²=12 plz help me and show work

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The answer is $x=-16$ ± $2\sqrt{3}$ in exact form or $x=-12.535898$ , $x=-19.464102$ in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start by moving all terms to the left side of the equation and simplify. Simplify the equation by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation and squaring $x+16$ , which will look like $x^{2} +32x+256-12=0$ . Next, simplify the equation again, which will look like $x^{2} +32x+244=0$ .

Then, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions. The quadratic formula looks like $\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$ .

For this problem, the quadratic variables are as follows:

$a=1$

$b=32$

$c=244$

The next step is to substitute the values $a=1$ , $b=32$ , and $c=244$ into the quadratic formula and solve. The quadratic formula will look like $\frac{-32(+-)\sqrt{32^2-4(1*244)} }{2*1}$ . To simplify the equation, start by simplifying the numerator, which will look like $x=\frac{-32(+-)4\sqrt{3} }{2*1}$ . Then, multiply 2 by 1 and simplify the equation, which will look like $x=-16(+-)2\sqrt{3}$ . The final answer is $x=-16$ ± $2\sqrt{3}$ in exact form. In decimal form, the final answer is $x=-12.535898$ , $x=-19.464102$ .
