The product of 4 and a number f decreased by 2 is 15

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: The number is: "2 " .

__________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________

Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:

__________________________________________

" 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .

___________________________________________

Note:

If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;

___________________________________________

Rewrite as: " 4x − 12 = -2x " ;

_____________________________________________

→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

to get: 6x = 12 ;

____________________________________________________

Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;

to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

____________________________________________________

6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;

to get: x = 2 .

____________________________________________________

Answer: The number is: "2 " .

____________________________________________________

Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:

_____________________________________________________

→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??

→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;

→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!

Yahoo creates a test to classify emails as spam or not spam based on the contained words. This test accurately identifies spam (

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume that

Spam Email be S

And, test spam positive be T

Given that

P(S) = 0.3

$P(\frac{T}{S}) = 0.95$

$P(\frac{T}{S^c}) = 0.05$

Now based on the above information, the probabilities are as follows

i. P(Spam Email) is

= P(S)

= 0.3

$P(S^c) = 1 - P(S)$

= 1 - 0.3

= 0.7

ii. $P(\frac{S}{T}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T}{P(T)}$

$= \frac{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }$

$= \frac{0.95 \times 0.3}{0.95 \times 0.3 + 0.05 \times 0.7}$

= 0.8906

iii. $P(\frac{S}{T^c}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T^c}{P(T^c)}$

$= \frac{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T^c}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }$

$= \frac{(1 - 0.95)\times 0.3}{ (1 -0.95)0.95 \times 0.3 + (1 - 0.05) \times 0.7}$

= 0.0221

We simply applied the above formulas so that the each part could come
