What is this math equation ;9-x/5 =3 for x

1 answer:

6 0

The variable x has had the following done to it:
• multiply by -1/5
• add 9

We want to "undo" these operations in reverse order.
• undo "add 9" by "add opposite of 9"
.. -x/5 = -6 . . . . . . . -9 added to both sides of the equation

• undo "multiply by -1/5" by "multiply by -5". We choose -5 because it is the multiplicative inverse of -1/5. That is (-1/5)*(-5) = 1.
.. 1x = (-5)*(-6)
.. x = 30

4x -2y = 16 solve for y=mx+b

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4 x from both sides of the equation. − 2 y = 16 − 4 x Divide each term by − 2 and simplify. Tap for fewer steps... Divide each term in − 2 y = 16 − 4 x by − 2 . − 2 y − 2 = 16 − 2 + − 4 x − 2 Cancel the common factor of − 2 . Tap for fewer steps... Cancel the common factor. − 2 y − 2 = 16 − 2 + − 4 x − 2 Divide y by 1 . y = 16 − 2 + − 4 x − 2 Simplify 16 − 2 + − 4 x − 2 . Tap for fewer steps... Simplify each term. Tap for fewer steps... Divide 16 by − 2 . y = − 8 + − 4 x − 2 Cancel the common factor of − 4 and − 2 . Tap for fewer steps... Factor − 2 out of − 4 x . y = − 8 + − 2 ( 2 x ) − 2 Cancel the common factors. Tap for more steps... y = − 8 + 2 x Reorder − 8 and 2 x . y = 2 x − 8

You own a company that employs three salespeople, Quentin, Michael and Bubba. Quentin makes 30% of the sales, Michael 45%, and B

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Michael

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the table below:

The probability of selecting a sale that was made by Quentin is .30, by Michael is .45 and by Bubba is .25.

Since Quentin completes paperwork 90% of the time, he doesn't complete paperwork 10% of the time, following this reasoning we can say that Michael doesn't complete paperwork 20% of the time and Bubba doesn't complete paperwork 15% of the time.

The probability of selecting a file and that it belongs to Quentin AND is incomplete is:

(Probability of selecting a Quentin's file) x (Probability is a Quentin incomplete file) = (0.30)(0.10) = 0.03

Using this same method we have that the probability that it belongs to Michael and is incomplete is (.45)(.20) = 0.09

That it belongs to Bubba and it's incomplete is (0.25)(0.15) = 0.037

The highest of these probabilities is the one that corresponds to Michael: 0.09, therefore he is the most likely culprit.
