What is the solution to the linear equation? 2/3x-1/2=1/3+5/6x

2/3x - 1/2 = 1/3 + 5/6x....multiply the entire equation by the common denominator of 6...this will get rid of the fractions.

6(2/3x - 1/2) = 6(1/3 + 5/6x) =
4x - 3 = 2 + 5x...subtract 5x from both sides
4x - 5x - 3 = 2...add 3 to both sides
4x - 5x = 2 + 3...combine terms
-x = 5...multiply by -1 to make x positive
x = -5

What is the simplified answer to this problem 12 > -3x + 6

Verdich [7]

In this question, you're simplifying the inequality by solving for x.

Solve for x:

12 > -3x + 6

<em>flip the equation:</em>

-3x + 6 < 12

<em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

-3x < 6

<em>divide both sides by -3, while also flipping the inequality</em>

x > -2

Answer:

x > -2

Find two complex numbers that have a sum of i10 a different of -4and a product of -29

lianna [129]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the complex numbers be $a+ib\textrm{ and }c+id$ .

Given, sum is $10i$ , difference is $-4$ and product is $-29$ .

$(a+c)+i(b+d)=10i$ ⇒ $a+c=0,b+d=10$

$(a-c)+i(b-d)=-4$ ⇒ $a-c=-4,b-d=0$

$a=-2,c=2,b=5,d=5$

$(a+ib)(c+id)=(-2+5i)(2+5i)=-4-25=-29$

Hence, all three equations are consistent yielding the complex numbers $-2+5i\textrm{ and }2+5i$ .

Please guys i really need your help and please explain how you got it please

The answer would be C because in order to find the area of a figure, you would need to multiply its height by its width. finding the area of a figure is the same as finding how many units are in a figure. because this is a square and all the sides are equal, by counting the total number of units, you can find the area.

An instructor who taught two sections of engineering statistics last term, the first with 25 students and the second with 35, de

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a) P=0.1721

b) P=0.3528

c) P=0.3981

Step-by-step explanation:

This sampling can be modeled by a binominal distribution where p is the probability of a project to belong to the first section and q the probability of belonging to the second section.

a) In this case we have a sample size of n=15.

The value of p is p=25/(25+35)=0.4167 and q=1-0.4167=0.5833.

The probability of having exactly 10 projects for the second section is equal to having exactly 5 projects of the first section.

This probability can be calculated as:

$P=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}p^kq^{n-k}= \frac{15!}{(10)!5!}\cdot 0.4167^5\cdot0.5833^{10}=0.1721$

b) To have at least 10 projects from the 2nd section, means we have at most 5 projects for the first section. In this case, we have to calculate the probability for k=0 (every project belongs to the 2nd section), k=1, k=2, k=3, k=4 and k=5.

We apply the same formula but as a sum:

$P(k\leq5)=\sum_{k=0}^{5}\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}p^kq^{n-k}$

Then we have:

$P(k=0)=0.0003\\P(k=1)=0.0033\\P(k=2)=0.0165\\P(k=3)=0.0511\\P(k=4)=0.1095\\P(k=5)=0.1721\\\\P(k\leq5)=0.0003+0.0033+0.0165+0.0511+0.1095+0.1721=0.3528$

c) In this case, we have the sum of the probability that k is equal or less than 5, and the probability tha k is 10 or more (10 or more projects belonging to the 1st section).

The first (k less or equal to 5) is already calculated.

We have to calculate for k equal to 10 or more.

$P(k\geq10)=\sum_{k=10}^{15}\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}p^kq^{n-k}$

Then we have

$P(k=10)=0.0320\\P(k=11)=0.0104\\P(k=12)=0.0025\\P(k=13)=0.0004\\P(k=14)=0.0000\\P(k=15)=0.0000\\\\P(k\geq10)=0.032+0.0104+0.0025+0.0004+0+0=0.0453$

The sum of the probabilities is

$P(k\leq5)+P(k\geq10)=0.3528+0.0453=0.3981$
