Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses 5(x-4)+3x-9x=6-(2x+5)+8x

4 0

start on one side by distributing 5 to (x-4) = 5x -20 + 3x-9x
then simplify: 5x-20 +12x
simplify again: 17x-20

go to your other side and distribute 6 to -(2x+5)
but now you have a negative in front of the parentheses so it’s important to distribute the negative. so now your (2x+5) becomes (-2x-5)

so when you distribute the 6, it becomes -12x-30+8x.
simplify like you did the other side: -4x-30
and set the first side:17x-20 equal to -4x-30

so it should look like this: 17x-20 = -4x-30 now you can simplify the entire equation by adding -4x to both sides:
21x-20=30

add 20 to both sides

21x=50

x= 2.38 which is equivalent to 2.4

if you plug that back in you should find that 21 • 2.4 ≈ 50.4 or 50 :)

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 7m, a hight of 9m and a width of 11m

vazorg [7]

Hello!

To find the Volume of the Rectangular Prism, you'll need to multiply all of the measurements together. So you'll need to multiply 7, 9, and 11 together.

V=7*9*11

First, you'll need to multiply 7 and 9. Once you've multiplied 9 and 7 together, you should have 63. Now you should multiply 63 and 11 together. Once you've multiplied 63 and 11 together, you should have a Volume of 693

You should have a Volume of 693m³

I hope this helps!

Probability distribution for x:

$P(x=0)=0.3644\\\\P(x=1)=0.4373\\\\P(x=2)=0.1749\\\\P(x=3)=0.0233\\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the number of defective sets in the group of TV sets (variable x) as a binomial variable, with sample size=3 and probability of success p=2/7≈0.2857.

The probability of k defective sets in the group is:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}q^{n-k}$

So, we have this probabilty distribution for x:

$P(x=0) = \dbinom{3}{0} p^{0}q^{3}=1*1*0.3644=0.3644\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{3}{1} p^{1}q^{2}=3*0.2857*0.5102=0.4373\\\\\\P(x=2) = \dbinom{3}{2} p^{2}q^{1}=3*0.0816*0.7143=0.1749\\\\\\P(x=3) = \dbinom{3}{3} p^{3}q^{0}=1*0.0233*1=0.0233\\\\\\$
