ANSWER

2(s+175)


EXPLANATION

The total amount of garbage thrown away at the school each day is the amount of garbage thrown away by the students plus the amount of garbage thrown away by non-students.


total = lb students + lb non-students


lb students is 2s as each student throws away two pounds a day.

lb non-students is 350. Therefore, the total amount of pounds of garbage thrown away each day is


total = 2s + 350


We can factor out a 2 from this expression as each term is divisible by 2 and that is the greatest common factor. We end up with


total = 2(s+175)

A certain disease occurs most frequently among older women. Of all age groups, women in their 60s have the highest rate of breas
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a set be events that have occurred be denoted as:

S = {A₁, A₂, A₃,..., Aₙ}

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event, say <em>A</em>ₙ given that another event, say <em>X</em> has already occurred is given by:

P(A_{n}|X)=\frac{P(X|A_{n})P(A_{n})}{\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(X|A_{i})P(A_{i})}}

The disease Breast cancer is being studied among women of age 60s.

Denote the events as follows:

<em>B</em> = a women in their 60s has breast cancer

+ = the mammograms detects the breast cancer

The information provided is:

P(B) = 0.0312\\P(+|B)=0.81\\P(+|B^{c})=0.92

Compute the value of P (B|+) using the Bayes' theorem as follows:

P(B|+)=\frac{P(+|B)P(B)}{P(+|B)P(B)+P(+|B^{c})P(B^{c})}

            =\frac{(0.81\times 0.0312)}{(0.81\times 0.0312)+(0.92\times (1-0.0312)}\\

            =\frac{0.025272}{0.025272+0.891296}

            =0.02757\\\approx0.0276

Thus, the probability that a woman in her 60s has breast cancer given that she gets a positive mammogram is 0.0276.

How did you do 2 step equations but in a word problem? Thankyou
dem82 [27]

Answer:

A example:  A customer brought 5 quarts of lemonade from Leah's stand. She also tipped Leah an additional $2. The customer finally paid a total of $27 including the tip. How much is each quart of lemonade worth? If x is what the lemonade is worth, write an equation to figure out the total.

In this problem, the x is what the lemonade is worth. So you should start with a 5x. The customer also tipped $2. So you should add 2 to the 5x. We also know the total, 27.

With the information we can form an equation.

5x + 2 = 27.

To solve, we can subtract 2 from both sides and finally dived by 5 on both sides as well. Your final answer should be x = 5.

Hopefully this is what you're looking for, sorry for being late!

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of the point P is -3  

Please see attached number line

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The length of the given number line = The line extends from -30 to +10

The location of major tick marks = Every ten numbers

The location of minor tick marks = Every number

The location of the point P = Three ticks to the left of 0

Therefore, the coordinates of the point P = -3
